Honestly, I think he is more wrapped up in the Lord Lucan mystery. I don't mean to criticize Ian, it's obvious he cares. He has funded the Ben website out of his pocket, and it is a good website. However, I was also able to contact a friend of the Needham family, and she said the Needham's have no access to the boy's website email. She also said they still think he is alive. The friend seemed angry that Ian Crosby befriended the Kos police, the ones who botched Ben's investigation in the first place. I think he would need to be cordial, if he wants to get something accomplished. I believe this case needs a new investigator. I wish I could do something, I feel helpless. Is it possible to investigate a case from so far away?
