Tommy, who had been missing since the previous day, had suffered a severe head injury and an enormous manhunt ensued as 100 detectives frantically searched for his killer. Multiple theories were considered and 1000s of people were interviewed yet nobody could shed any light on what happened to the boy and to this day the murder remains unsolved.
