Police in second search at home of Glenrothes man missing for almost 30 years

Further investigations get underway today into the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of Kenneth Jones in 1998.

The then 18-year old vanished from his home in the town’s Ancrum Court on Monday November 2, 1998, and was reported missing two days later. His family have heard nothing from him since. Mr Jones would now be 46 years of age.

In February, Police Scotland's Major Investigation team conducted inquiries at his then family home. Further searches are now set to be carried out when officers will be assisted by numerous resources, including local officers and experts.

Detective Chief Inspector Jonathan Pleasance said: "We are returning to Ancrum Court to carry out specific searches in the garden following our enquiries in February.

"We remain committed to establishing the full circumstances of what happened to Kenneth and will explore all possible opportunities, including modern technology, which could assist. The investigation continues to review all available evidence and we are keeping an open mind.

"I would appeal to anyone who may have any information, no matter how small it may seem, to come forward.

"It's essential we find out what happened to Kenneth to bring his family some much needed closure."

When reported missing in 1998, Kenneth was described as white, 6ft 2in tall, with short, dark-brown hair. When last seen, he was wearing a black leather zip-up jacket, black jeans, and yellow and green trainers.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101.
