Police have said that three new leads in the hunt for a schoolboy who went missing 20 years have not left them any closer to solving the mystery.

Daniel Entwistle vanished from the streets of Great Yarmouth on May 3, 2003. He was seven years old.

Police launched a new appeal for information last month, on the 20th anniversary of his disappearance.

They received three fresh calls about the case.

Officers had hoped publicity could prompt people with information to finally come forward.

However, a Norfolk Constabulary spokesperson said: "None of the recent enquiries have currently taken us any further in understanding what happened to Daniel."

Daniel's last sighting was at 5.05pm on May 3, 2003, when he was captured on CCTV at a corner shop close to his home.

The next day, his red BMX bike was located close to the river at Trinity Quay, sparking a theory he had fallen into the river.

Despite a major operation, which saw police frogmen scour the River Yare and officers comb buildings across South Denes in the weeks after Daniel's disappearance, no trace of the schoolboy has ever been found.

In May, Norfolk police said they "remain committed to finding answers" for Daniel’s family.
