Britain’s Got Talent finalists The Missing People Choir spark new lead in 14-year-old unsolved case
BRITAIN’S Got Talent finalists The Missing People Choir have sparked another “significant” development in a 14-year-old unsolved case.
A potential sighting of Tom Moore, who vanished in 2003, was reported after his photo flashed up behind the singers.
Tom was 31 when he went missing in Italy and his family have flown there after an English-speaking man fitting the West Londoner’s description was seen sleeping rough in a flower bed in Milan.
It comes days after another photo on screen behind the choir may have sparked a breakthrough in the search for mum Natalie Putt, 17, who also disappeared in 2003.
A 15-year-old boy who may have spotted Tom sent a video and photos to his missing person website a day after the BGT performance.

Brother Ben told The Sun the show had given the family the best lead since Tom went missing.
He said: “Of all of the images I’ve been sent, this is probably the closest and most realistic to Tom.
"It feels like it could be a realistic chance that we might actually find Tom.”
Natalie’s family believe the choir, which includes missing York chef Claudia Lawrence’s dad Peter, may have led police to reopen her case.
Detectives dug up four graves half a mile from her home in Lower Gornal, Dudley, West Mids.
