Mum who fears son was killed after going missing on night out 2yrs ago ARRESTED for wasting police time
Carol Roy is convinced foul play was involved her son's disappearance after a night out
THE mum of a man missing for nearly two years has been charged with wasting police time.
Shaun Ritchie was just 20 when he disappeared in woodlands after a night out nearly two years ago.
His mum Carol Roy has long been convinced that foul play was involved in Shaun's disappearance.
Shaun was last seen near a farmhouse in Scotland following a Halloween night out with pals in 2014.
A massive search was launched and five days later some of his clothing was discovered in the area — but Shaun has never been found.

Two phone calls to cops were made from there on the night he vanished — one calling for help and another cancelling the request.
Police are adamant there has never been any evidence of criminality.
But Carol, from Aberdeenshire, Scotland, insists her son was killed and even called in a psychic to visit the search site who now supports her theory.
It’s believed the charges relate to anonymous text messages sent to Shaun’s close friends and family suggesting that the 20-year-old had been killed.
A spokeswoman for Police Scotland said last night: “A 38-year-old woman has been charged in connection with wasting police time.
“A report has been sent to the procurator fiscal.”
