Active police inquiries into 1998 disappearance of Fife man conclude


Police are reviewing information gathered over the last two years into the disappearance of Kenneth Jones.
Active inquiries into the disappearance of a Fife teenager who vanished almost three decades ago have concluded, police have said.
Kenneth Jones was last seen at about 10.30pm on November 2 1998 in the Ancrum Court area of Glenrothes.
His family, who reported him missing on November 4, have not heard from him since.
He was 18 years old at the time and would be 46 today.
He is described as white, 6ft 2in, with short, dark-brown hair.
When he was last seen he was wearing a black leather zip-up jacket, black jeans, and yellow and green trainers.
The investigation was relaunched in 2024 after Police Scotland began reviewing unsolved missing persons cases.
Officers carried out new searches in the garden of his former home earlier this year.
Police said they are now reviewing information and members of the public may contact them with any further details.
Detective Chief Inspector Jonathan Pleasance, Police Scotland, said: “We remain committed to establishing the full circumstances of what happened to Kenneth.
“Our active inquiry 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.”
