DAMIEN NETTLES IS STILL MISSING -18 Years on November 2,
2014
The police continue to keep this case open. People ask me why? All I can say is the police have looked at
the statements that have been made and they, like us, see that there is a
pattern. This has been corroborated by an
ex-police informant, who according officers who dealt with her for years she
was always reliable with her information.
The same names and scenario’s crop up over and again from other sources
too.
The initial police inaction was just appalling. When they finally arrested 8 people it was 14
years too late. By then, those involved may
have had far more to protect like reputations, jobs and hiding the truth from
children and loved ones. Some passed
away. Or was a dead man used to quiet
this case?
It has been said that Damien was beaten to death by drug
induced thugs who took exception to his presence. Some have suggested he was
cut up and fed to pigs. Others have
suggested he was thrown into a lobster cage and left as bait. Others say it was an accident. A beating got out of hand and he was
killed. His body was hidden until a
grave was prepared. Those involved are
still around I am told. Someone who
worked with felling trees and or road works has been suggested and who were local
thugs with ties to drug dealers.
There is a fear on the Isle of Wight in some circles when
Damien’s name is mentioned. Why? Who is still around that is a threat to
anyone who will speak about Damien?
The police say the case is not closed, but it also is not
being actively investigated. They want
new information based on facts. The fact
is that the police inaction has made this case drag on for years without any
conclusion. The police lost evidence
just a few months after Damien went missing.
That is a fact but they don’t come out and tell anyone that they lost
evidence. There was CCTV of Damien
walking along the High Street after he had been to a chip shop. I asked we look at who else was on the street
that night but police had neglected to keep this CCTV film footage safe as
evidence, they lost it. They stop short
of telling the public that fact. Yet I
live with this horror because of years of police inaction and shoddy police
work. They won’t spend any more money
on Damien’s case and they won’t look for Damien’s body in an area identified by
an ex- police informant.
We are digging in an area of interest ourselves. We need police help and they steadfastly
refuse. Money is the issue and manpower.
They say it’s due to an unreliable witness yet they used to pay her quite happily
as an informant for years. It doesn’t add
up. It’s not a job for private citizens
and the police could do something to help but will not. You will read a long list of actions when police
present their press release. Just be
aware, the majority of those actions were 14 years after Damien disappeared……too
late.
If you thought there
was a reasonable chance your loved one was buried somewhere…..what would you
do?
Those involved, or know who is involved, may close
ranks. I have names. Blood is thicker than water and on the IW;
there is a strong blood tie between families.
We know who you are and we are watching, waiting, and you will be
caught.
