Alexander Sloley: Police Offer £10k Reward for Information About Teen who Disappeared 17 Years-Ago! (1.4.2025)

However, in 2019, detectives said there was no proof that Mr Sloley had been harmed and there was no evidence that it was linked to any other cases.

Speaking about the Metropolitan Police’s £10,000 reward, detective chief inspector Sarb Kaur, who is leading the investigation into his disappearance, said: “Alex was reported missing to police on 8 August, 2008.

“Since then, there have been extensive enquiries made by police, but sadly Alex has not yet been found.

“We are now offering a reward of up to £10,000 for anyone who has information relating to Alex’s whereabouts.

“This remains an active missing person investigation, subject to regular review by senior officers, with the aim of locating Alex and bringing some comfort to his family. We have recently met with Alex’s mother to outline how we intend to progress our investigation to find him.

“I would ask anyone with information who could help to please get in contact immediately, no matter how insignificant you think this could be.”

As there are no public houses of clubs – it is difficult to understand just why it is that the local population would use this side-street as a toilet.

Happy International Workers’ Day! (1.5.2023)

‘In approaching a problem a Marxist should see the whole as well as the parts. A frog in a well says, “The sky is no bigger than the mouth of the well.” That is untrue, for the sky is not just the size of the mouth of the well. If it said, “A part of the sky is the size of the mouth of a well”, that would be true, for it tallies with the facts!’
