Police have officially concluded an excavation of the farmland surrounding a Greek holiday home where British toddler Ben Needham went missing more than 25 years ago. Digging on another site in the immediate vicinity of the farmhouse had been declared finished the previous day. South Yorkshire police and Greek search and rescue teams began excavations in late September after receiving information suggesting the toddler could have been accidentally crushed by a digger. The boy went missing on 24 July 1991. Needham, from Sheffield, told the Daily Mirror: “Not even in my worst nightmares has Ben ever been dead … until now.
