Missing teen, Robert Williams

An appeal on BBC One’s Crimewatch Live has asked for the public’s help in locating teenager Robert Williams who went missing in Neath Port Talbot in 2002.

A renewed appeal for information has now been broadcast on BBC’s Crimewatch Live.

“There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about him,” Robert’s mum Cheryl told Crimewatch Live.

“I know somebody out there knows something. Somebody was the last person to see my son alive. So all we want as a family is to fetch him home and I want to lay my son to rest, like any other parent would.”

Speaking to the same BBC show, DI David Butt from South Wales Police said: “The last 23 years have been a nightmare for Robert’s family. They deserve answers and the community of Resolven deserves answers. The intention of myself and the investigation team is to find him and return him to his family as soon as possible.”

DI Butt said he’s particularly like to hear from anybody present at a party at a house in Aberdulais on Saturday, March 23, 2002, into Sunday, March 24, 2002, at which Robert was present.

Detectives say they would still like to hear from anyone who has information that may assist their enquiries.
