Alfred Swinscoe went missing in early 1967 during a visit to his local pub
Police have identified the human remains found in a field as a man who has been missing since the 1960s. Alfred Swinscoe went missing in early 1967 after drinking at the Pinxton Miners Arms pub in Derbyshire.
Alfred's grandson, Russell Lowbridge, was only four years old when his relative vanished. But the now-60-year-old came forward with information following the appeal, leading to the breakthrough in identification. Police have said they "know" Alfred, a father-of-six, was murdered and a team of detectives are working alongside a team of scientists to find his killer. Alfred was a miner, and had worked at Langton Colliery from the age of 14 and was last seen at work on January 20, 1967. He is survived by four of his six children, as well as grandchildren and their families.
A number of traumatic injuries were found on his skeleton, which are undergoing further analysis. He is thought to have been buried around 6ft deep on farmland. “Despite this being a crime that happened more than 50 years ago this will not stop us from using all the investigative skills at our disposal to find those responsible. We would like to thank the media and the public for sharing our appeals, which prompted Alfred’s grandson to come forward.
