Birmingham's Lost Sons: Milk Carton Kids + Ozzy Osbourne Dedication

🖤 RIP OZZY OSBOURNE (1948-2025) 🖤
Today we honor the Prince of Darkness with a case close to his Birmingham heart. On Boxing Day 1996, two young boys - Patrick Warren (11) and David Spencer (13) - vanished from Chelmsley Wood, becoming the UK's first "Milk Carton Kids." Like young Ozzy, they were dismissed as "troublemakers" from the wrong side of the tracks. 28 years later, their families still seek justice.
THE CASE:

Boxing Day 1996: Boys disappear after visiting petrol station
Last seen at 12:45 AM sharing biscuits
Patrick's new Christmas bike found abandoned
Prime suspect: Convicted killer Brian Field
Case highlights class bias in missing persons investigations

KEY EVIDENCE:

✓ Witness saw him with boys days before disappearance

✓ Community-led searches continue today
