It has brought closure for the family
Russell Lowbridge was only four years old when his grandfather, Alfred Swinscoe, went missing in early 1967 after drinking at the Pinxton Miners Arms in Derbyshire. He vanished in unusual and mysterious circumstances, leaving his family wondering what happened to him.
"Number one – the height of the unidentified remains – 5ft 5ins – was the same height as my late grandfather. Number two – the distinctive socks found with his remains brought back memories from my childhood and I had a distinct feeling I had seen them somewhere before. "His disappearance tormented my Uncle Gary his whole life. He went to his grave never knowing what happened to his dad. He just remembers his dad giving him a ten bob note in the Pinxton Miners Arms that night - telling him to get a round and then never, ever seeing him again.
"Two of those children are no longer here and never got this chance. This has been a mystery that has haunted our family for decades. It never goes away - and it never provides answers." Mr Lowbridge thanked Nottinghamshire Police and the media for their help. He shared his pain as a grieving grandson, whose knowledge about his grandfather is "second hand".
