Police Offer £10,000 Reward for Information on Missing Boy Alexander Sloley
Investigators seek tips in the case of a teenager who vanished in 2008, with hopes to locate him and provide answers to his family.
Police in London are offering a £10,000 reward for information concerning the whereabouts of Alexander Sloley, who has been missing since August 2008. At the time of his disappearance, Sloley was 16 years old and lived in Islington, north London.
He attended City and Islington College, where he studied accountancy.
Upon his disappearance, it was noted that Sloley had no money, wallet, or bag containing clothes, which led investigators to believe he did not plan to run away.
He has been described as a light-skinned black male, standing at 5 feet 5 inches tall and of medium build, with distinctive blue eyes.
Detective Chief Inspector Sarb Kaur is leading the current investigation into Sloley's case and confirmed that extensive inquiries have been conducted over the years.
"Alex was reported missing to police on August 8, 2008. Since then, there have been extensive enquiries made by police but sadly Alex has not yet been found," Kaur stated.
She emphasized that the case remains an active missing person investigation, under regular review by senior officers, aimed at locating Sloley and providing solace to his family.
In a recent statement, Kaur urged anyone with information, regardless of how insignificant they may feel it is, to contact the police.
This plea follows a recent meeting with Sloley’s mother, Nerissa Tivy, where officials discussed the future direction of the investigation.
In 2019, police released an e-fit image of what Sloley might look like at the age of 27 as part of a reopening of his case.
Tivy expressed the emotional impact of seeing the generated image of her son, recalling his sense of style and how the lack of closure continues to affect her.
The investigative team has re-interviewed several individuals previously questioned in connection with Sloley's disappearance.
However, police have indicated that there is no evidence suggesting he was harmed or that his case is linked to other incidents.
Detective Constable Tom Boon commented in 2019 that there remains a hope that Sloley may be safe and has been living out of sight, avoiding the use of bank accounts or passports.
The ongoing nature of the investigation raises concerns as time passes without resolution.
Authorities are encouraging those with information to reach out to the police at 07860 369603 or through Crimestoppers.
