Missing Ben Needham’s heartbroken mum makes desperate plea for help as she reaches 27th Christmas without her son

: “What will it take for someone to tell me what happened to him? Somebody must know. I can’t even grieve for him. I’m still in limbo.

“He’s obviously buried somewhere on that island and I would appeal to the good people of Kos to help me find him.

“I can’t move on. I think everybody wants me to give up but unfortunately I cannot do that without knowing where Ben is. I haven’t got a grave to visit.”

Kerry, 43, now wants to know the regular places used by the digger driver believed to have accidentally killed her son.

South Yorkshire Police believe Ben was killed by JCB operator Konstantinos “Dino” Barkas and his body may have been moved several times over the years.

Ben's heartbroken family have also shared an emotional video tribute to their missing boy days before Christmas in a desperate new bid to find him.

Ben’s heartbroken mother Kerry admitted she’d accepted he “wouldn’t be coming home” but said she is now desperate to lay him to rest.

Kerry has also shared a touching video made up of a collection of family photographs and accompanied by the song Who You’d Be Today, by Kenny Chesney.

In the snaps, little Ben can be seen sleeping in bed, splashing in the bath and cuddled up to his mum.

Kerry has posted it on the Help Find Ben Needham Facebook page along with a new plea, begging those with information to get in touch.

Her message reads: “The song we put to this video is very poignant.

“Who would Ben be now?”

Adding that one of the photos was taken on the day of his disappearance, she concludes: “All we want is to lay him to rest.

“Please contact us in 100% guaranteed confidentiality.”

Ben disappeared on 24 July 1991, just three months shy of his second birthday.

Detectives from Yorkshire Police travelled to Kos and renewed their search for Ben last September, following claims that digger driver Konstantinos Barkas - known as Dino - may have been responsible.

After excavating the site where Ben was last seen, it was confirmed officers had found 93 objects of interest, including a red toy car belonging to the tot.

Kerry was later seen collapsing in tears as she and family members visited the spot where it is feared he was killed.

Earlier this year, 26 years to the day that Ben vanished, it was confirmed human blood had been found on the toy car, along with a sandal belonging to the toddler.

As the discovery was made public, Kerry said: “This confirms everything the police have suspected.

“It shows more of a conspiracy because they didn’t find Ben’s body.

“That proves it to me without doubt they ­obviously moved him and buried him and for ­whatever reason dug him up. There’s no other ­explanation.

“It’s all been a massive cover-up.”
