Police Renew Appeal in Boys' 50-Year Disappearance

On the 50th anniversary of the disappearance of two boys, Thomas Spence (11) and John Rodgers (13), from West Belfast, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has renewed its appeal for information. The boys were last seen on November 26, 1974, while walking to catch a bus to school, and they have not been seen since. The PSNI recognizes the ongoing pain and suffering of the families, emphasizing that the case remains open and the circumstances surrounding their disappearance are still unexplained and potentially suspicious. Authorities are urging anyone with information, no matter how small, to come forward, as even minor details could be crucial. The PSNI will consider all investigative opportunities and potential criminal offenses linked to the boys' case as part of their ongoing review.
