My dad went missing 10 years ago… then homeless stranger said a ‘butcher & a pig farm’ held the key to his disappearance

THE daughter of a man who went missing ten years ago has revealed that a homeless stranger told her that a “butcher” and a “pig farm” held the key to the mystery.

Charlotte Duff, whose dad Robert disappeared in 2013, told a new documentary about the case that an unknown man approached her and told her he knew what had happened.

Charlotte claimed he told her that Robert had been killed after getting into an argument with two men in Archway, North London.

The men allegedly killed him, before dismembering him and placing his remains in a suitcase.

The devastated daughter told the Channel 4 programme: “I do feel he was telling the truth. He wanted to remain anonymous. I spoke to him and said, ‘Can you call the hotline?’ and he said he’d be happy to do that.”

Two months later, an unnamed contact of the show’s presenter, Professor David Wilson, was reportedly able to track down the man.

He said: “It took a few weeks, I tracked him down last week. He said he was friends with Robert Duff.

“Two men invited [Robert] back to Bredgare road. One of the men had made sexual advances towards Robert and a fight ensued. Robert was eventually murdered, and one of the men dismembered him. 

“He apparently used to be a butcher, he dismembered him in a flat, they transported him in two suitcases.”

The source went on to claim that Robert’s remains were deposited at a pig farm in Epping Forrest.

Cops had previously searched local bodies of water for a body, without success.

The sexual motive has not been put forward before and has not been confirmed by police.

Robert was last seen on January 12, 2013 when he was spotted on CCTV withdrawing cash.

He was reported missing day’s later when his family grew concerned after he missed his daughter Stephanie’s 18th birthday, which they said was “out of character”.

They feared Robert, who had previously struggled with drug addiction, had died of an overdose.

Cops believe he may have been killed that same night after getting into a fight – but his body has never been found.

Stephanie recently spoke to The Sun and made a desperate plea to her dad’s killers to come forward and allow the family some closure.

She said: “Please just finally have a heart and tell us where our dad is. 

“We know you’ve killed him. We know he is dead. Just please tell us what happened so we can finally have peace.

“We need to put him to rest now. It’s been too long. It’s been ten years. We haven’t found him or had any real closure.”

She added: “One thing I want to say to his murderers is they should know that we will never give up. 

“They should give up right now because we will not stop until we know what happened to dad.”
