South Yorkshire Police has hit out at online disinformation about the disappearance of 14 year old Doncaster boy Andrew Gosden, who has ben missing for 18 years this month.
The teenager was last seen at London King's Cross Station on September 14 2007, having skipped school to travel down to the capital on the train.
No other rumoured sightings from that day have been verified.
In 2022 two men, aged 38 and 45, were arrested in connection with the case but were subsequently released without charge.
Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Knowles, who is leading the investigation, said:
“Sadly there have been no confirmed sightings of Andrew since 14 September 2007, at 11.25am in Kings Cross Station, London.
"Any new information which we receive is carefully considered, reviewed and investigated by us where appropriate.
"We have regular contact with Andrew's family, and they will be the first to be informed if there is any progress or updates in our investigation."
