Detectives conclude active inquiries into disappearance of Glenrothes teen in 1998Police Scotland

Detectives have concluded their active inquiries into the disappearance of Glenrothes teenager Kenneth Jones, who vanished almost three decades ago.

The 18-year-old was last seen near his home in the Ancrum Court area of the Fife town on November 2, 1998 and was reported missing by his family two days later.

Kenneth has not been heard from since and would now be 46 years old.

An extensive search was launched, but no arrests have ever been made in connection with the disappearance.

Police Scotland’s Major Investigation team returned to the family home in February and April this year, but nothing significant was found.

The force has said the probe has now been concluded, but still urged anyone with information on Kenneth’s whereabouts to get in touch.

Detective chief inspector Jonathan Pleasance said: “We remain committed to establishing the full circumstances of what happened to Kenneth.

“Our active enquiry has now concluded, and we are assessing material gathered during the review of this case.

“Kenneth’s family has been updated.

“I would continue to appeal to anyone who has any information on Kenneth’s disappearance to contact Police Scotland on 101”.
