It was part of the wide field being covered in the hope of picking up a clue to the whereabouts of the boy. Superintendent Walden said that so far there has been absolutely no evidence uncovered to suggest the whereabouts of the boy. or the identity of the kidnapper.
The kidnapper had not made any further approach to the Thome family since the original demand for £25.000 ranso-i money, which was made over the telephone to Mrs Thome, about two hours after Graeme disappeared.
