Leigh Ann Needham expressed her grief towards the never-ending piercing on her heart towards the fate of her brother, Ben Needham, whom they have lost since 1991. She said that her hope to see her brother alive remains in spite of the belief that he died 25 years ago.
During her interview in Good Morning Britain, Leigh Ann said that if there is no definitive proof or any form of remains, she will always remain hopeful that her brother Ben is still out there, as reported by Mirror Magazine.
"I don't think my grandparents can take much more of this. It's absolutely destroyed my family," Leigh Ann said during the interview.
Detective Inspector John Cousins believed that the toddler Ben died in an accident in 1991 as a result of their 25 years of search. One toy car was believed to be in Ben's possession on the day of his disappearance on the Greek island in then, DailyMail reported.
Leigh Ann's mom broke down although they can hardly remember a toy car. Her nan is only 90 percent sure that it is one that is similar to which Ben had.
The whole family has been suffering for 25 years now because of Ben's disappearance according to Leigh Ann. Her mother's heart is beaten over and over and hers too. Her grandparents, who were the ones looking after Ben on the day of his disappearance, are also in total grief and lacking peace since that day.
The emotions of Leigh Ann went to its peak as she also expressed her anger towards the fact that searchers fail to find things as they were also told to prepare for the worst. But whenever something comes up about Ben, the whole family needed to deal with the grieving process again and again, Leigh shared.
The Kos team was composed of 19 South Yorkshire Police officers, forensic specialists, an archeologist, and some search and rescue personnel. They spent 21 days digging near the farmhouse where Ben was last seen in 1991. They also searched in the second site 750m away.
DI Cousins said the toy they found on Saturday had a link to the item dated to 1991, BBC reports. A total of 60 items were found during the search. These will be taken to the UK for analysis, as reported by TheGuardian.
