Brother of missing boy begs witnesses to come forward 20 years after pals David Spencer, 13, and Patrick Warren, 11, vanished on Boxing Day
David's little brother urged anyone with information about the pair - whose bodies have never been found - to come forward and help distraught families finally put them to rest
THE brother of a boy feared dead after he and a friend vanished on Boxing Day has made a fresh plea for information on the 20th anniversary of his disappearance.
Pals David Spencer, 13, and Patrick Warren, 11, went out to visit a relative on December 26, 1996, but never returned home.
Now David's little brother Lee O'Toole has desperately urged anyone with information to come forward so their families can finally move on after two agonising decades of not knowing what happened to their beloved boys.
Lee, who was nine when David disappeared from his home in Chelmsley Wood, West Mids, said: "I'm convinced there's somebody out there that knows something that's happened to my brother and I beg them to come forward, even with the littlest bit of information possible.
"It's the difference between finding him and putting him to rest and my family being able to move on and have somewhere to put flowers down.
