Flashback Friday: An 8-year-old boy disappears in 1981 and his bones are found a year later in a rural field. No one was ever arrested, the case goes cold. In 2013, 32 years later, a male escort calls his dad and tells him: "I know what happened to your son. He was taken to Elm Guest House in 1981."

I remember this post! Gave me a chill down my spine browsing Reddit late at night.

I've been loving recent pedophile ring busts though, I'd say good timing of this flashback.

I never knew about this case. It is so horrifying and seems like something out of a movie

Not that interesting but I used to work a few roads down and would drive past the house at least once a day. Feel quite bad for who ever is living there now

There's nothing creepier to me than a murder/disappearance going unanswered for, only to have potential hints come out years and years later

It reminds me of the Maura Murray stuff. I'm not saying I believe the 112Dirtbag thing, but it being true is a very real possibility.

The idea that someone out there knew something for so long and mysteriously rekindles that fire, I dunno, it's just unsettling.

Why is this not discussed and reported more in the media? In the United States it was not mentioned at all, and this is the first time I have heard of any of it.

I feel bad for the family of that boy, and the father who received the phone call decades later.

Why all the deleted comments? Just curious? I just came across this post a little bit ago.

Where does it say he was contacted thirteen years later? The articles say it was months after the disappearance.

Quite odd this one. I live near Putney and the location of the Elm Guest House in Hammersmith, and know the area moderately well. We've had quite a few unresolved mysteries from this part of London, and it's strange to me that it's such a hotbed of this stuff. A couple of miles down the road is Dolphin Square, also a site that has been mentioned a few times.

There is no doubt some really dodgy stuff happened at both sites. There is no doubt a lot of people managed to escape justice. However, I'm going to urge caution: I've watched this case closely, and it's too easy for this to get a little hyperbolic and - dare I say it - a bit "pizza gate".

The evidence is genuinely quite thin. All we have is a list of names produced by a convicted fraudsters and people who have told stories under the guise of pseudonyms or anonymity in return for cash.

Cliff Richard is suing people who repeat claims made against him on this matter (and winning). Some of the allegations involved him murdering TV celebrity Jill Dando (another, frankly, unresolved mystery). Several of the people mentioned are dead and have no ability to reply.

There has been a deluge of allegations that have not received enough investigation and scrutiny to assert that they are truthful claims of awful abuse or fanciful ideas of attention seekers, and until they receive that scrutiny, I would suggest everybody proceeds with caution on this one because it's very easy to fall down the conspiracy rabbit hole.

What the hell happened to this post? Almost all of it is deleted and the comments that aren't don't make any sense without context.

Slightly off-topic, but now that I've read this I think the Elm Guest House has to be the inspiration for a plotline in a book series I've just finished reading. I think it was book 4 that had a house (in London) used for that exact reason that the main character wanted destroyed. I was disgusted when I read the book, but seeing that something like this is real (not that I had any doubt something this awful could exist) is just horrific.

I never heard about this case before now, it's terrifying. Can't imagine how devastated the father must have felt, getting this phone call after all these years.

Cool post. Thanks. I don't have any valuable input or theory.

There was a 4-part? radio special on Vishal -- What Happened to Vishal?

There's also a good BBC documentary on pedophile rings led by Sidney Cooket:

I read the articles and didn't see anything approaching evidence that this occurred. Unsubstantiated claims by one individual.
