Detectives Re-Appeal in Andrew Stones Murder Investigation

As the investigation into the murder of 42-year-old Andrew Stones continues, detectives are again appealing for information from the public which could help them find answers for Andrew’s family. 

Andrew was last seen on 28^th October 2020 on Norton Road, close to the Buffs Social Club, around midday.

His disappearance is being investigated by a team of detectives who have been trying to find out what happened to Andrew. They have carried out enquiries including door to door, have spoken with Andrew’s family and associates and carried out open land searches in the area of Dunmail Road in Stockton, along with issuing a number of public appeals.

Enquiries led to the arrest of two men on suspicion of Andrew’s murder last month. The men, both aged 42 and from the Stockton area, have now been released without charge.

Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Shaun Page, said: “We still believe that Andrew has come to harm and we know that someone has the information that we need to find answers for Andrew’s family so that they know what has happened to him.

“We are leaning heavily on the public for their help. We need someone to come forward with information about seeing Andrew, knowing Andrew, or knowing what has happened to him.

“I would urge anyone who has information to call us on 101, or call Crimestoppers anonymously.”

Anyone with information is asked to contact Cleveland Police on 101 or call independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, or go online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
