News Cuttings (1951)
From the Devonshire Herald, 13 August 1951
Police appeal for information regarding missing schoolchildren
Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of two missing school children in the Rutmoor area has been asked to contact Devon and Cornwall police immediately.
Devon and Cornwall Police have issued an urgent appeal for information regarding two school children who were last seen on the evening of Friday, 10 August.
Paul Reece, 16, and Charles Gregson, 14, were reported missing on Saturday after wandering off from a school camping trip in Rutmoor National Park. Teachers and classmates, who camped in the north east of Rutmoor just south of Gorgon Tor, first noticed their absence after they failed to turn up for the register at 8am on Saturday morning. Upon inspecting their tent, trip leader and school PE teacher Mr Simon Matthews found it to be empty. Aside from two pairs of walking boots, the rest of their possessions were still in the tent. Police were contacted by Mr Matthews after a search of the surrounding area yielded no trace of the boys.
Reece is described as being an athletic, sensible young man with several years’ hiking experience and a good knowledge of the surrounding area. He was in training for the 13 Peaks Challenge (Gold Award) – a competition in which groups of children from different schools aim to walk to the summit of 13 different tors in a weekend – after successfully completing the Silver Award last summer.
Gregson is described as sensible and intelligent, but an inexperienced walker. It was his first visit to Rutmoor National Park. The boy’s mother, Mrs Sarah Gregson, has issued a passionate plea for information regarding her son’s whereabouts.
‘If anyone has seen my boy or has any information at all, no matter how small it seems, please contact the police immediately so we can get him back safely,’ she said. ‘Charles doesn’t know the area at all well and we’re very, very worried about him. Please come forward so he can be safely returned to us.’
Chief Inspector Douglas Brown, who is heading up the investigation, said the public should not to hesitate to contact police.
