POLICE investigating the discovery of human bones in a woodland have released a picture of a man who has been missing for 10 years.

Kent police's major crime department is searching for the family of Patrick Folen in a bid to further its inquiries.

So far the investigation, headed by Detective Chief Inspector Martin Harris, has failed to locate his family or friends.

Investigators believe the full skeleton, found by workmen in Horton Wood, near Fawkham, on October 19 could belong to Mr Folen, who went missing in November 1995.

Mr Folen, known as Paddy, lived in Church Road, West Kingsdown, for a short time and was a well-known resident in the area.

Anyone with information should call Kent police on 01622 654860.
