Readers will remember the announcement made by Police at the beginning of October last year, that they would offer a £20,000 reward for information that leads to the location of teenager, Damien Nettles, who has been missing from the Isle of Wight for 16 years.
Since the reward was announced, Police say they have received over 30 pieces of information which is being assessed by detectives, “who are keeping an open mind about future lines of enquiry”.
However, it’s worth noting that the reward does have a deadline attached to it, the beginning of April 2013.
Valerie Nettles: “Rewards have a shelf life”
When the reward was announced, Damien’s mother, Valerie Nettles told On The Wight, “This reward has been a long time coming and now that is a reality I would like to stress this is a window of opportunity.”
She went on to say, “Rewards have a shelf life. Don’t hesitate.
“If you know, really know what happened to Damien this is your chance to come clean and in the process you stand to benefit from a substantial amount of money.”
