Police Release Age-Progressed Image in Sandy Davidson 50-Year Appeal
Police say even the smallest tip could help solve the case as Sandy Davidson’s family seeks answers after 50 years.
- On Friday, April 24, 2026, Police Scotland released a forensic age-progression image showing how Sandy Davidson might look today, marking the 50th anniversary of his disappearance from his grandmother's garden in Irvine, North Ayrshire.
- Sandy vanished on April 23, 1976, while playing in the Bourtreehill area with his then two-year-old sister Donna; investigators believe he may have followed the family dog out of the garden.
- Theories regarding his fate persist, including a witness report of a man holding the boy's hand, while other suggestions point to a potential drowning in the nearby Annick river.
- Donna, who has campaigned for decades, said it is "beyond heartbreaking" not to know what happened to her brother, though the family believes he is deceased and seeks closure.
- Detective Inspector Louise White confirmed the case remains open indefinitely, urging anyone with information to contact Police Scotland on 101 or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
