A huge search operation involving Humberside Police, Humberside Fire and Rescue Service and the Coastguard was launched to find Russell following his disappearance.

Searches were also carried out at the Bohling family's holiday home at Ravenscar in North Yorkshire.

Two years after Bohling's disappearance, his family found his best pair of training shoes at the holiday home, which they are convinced he was wearing on the day he disappeared.

Russell’s family believe he was murdered but the police have always treated it as a missing person case.
