Detectives investigating the disappearance of a teenage boy eight years ago are renewing their appeal to mark his 25th birthday.

Jordan Anthony Ratcliffe was 16-years-old when he was last seen by his aunty on Tibb Street in the Northern Quarter area of Manchester City Centre in 2008.

Detective Constable Christopher Doggart said:

“It is now more than eight years since Jordan’s disappearance, but efforts are still very much being made to find him.

“Officers are revisiting lines of inquiry and making renewed searches of the GMP area, but information from the public could still prove crucial in this investigation.

“The £20,000 reward that we offered for information leading to Jordan’s whereabouts still stands and I would urge people to study the images that we previously released showing Jordan as he is now more likely to look.

“He was only 16 when he first went missing, but today, on his 25th birthday, he is likely to be significantly different in appearance.

“We have a dedicated, 24-hour line to receive calls relating to his disappearance, so I am urging anyone who has any information, no matter how small they feel it might be, to get in touch as soon as possible.”

Anyone with information relating to the disappearance of Jordan should call GMP on 0161 856 2491, or contact the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
