Mr. Geoff Knupfer:

I believe we were talking about the case of Robert Nairac. We have not received any information on his case at all. So far as reasons go, we guess this might be because he was a British soldier and, of course, because of the damaging allegations that have been made or connected with his name in more recent years. That is why we have taken the unique step of trying to research his background to see whether this was fact or fiction. At the end of the day this is not about Robert Nairac; it is about his loved ones. It is too late to show compassion for Robert Nairac, unfortunately; this is about his family. We would ask anybody who has any information to please pass it to us.

The Vice Chairman mentioned that there was a strong rumour that his body had been destroyed in a meat processing plant in the area. We are assured by people who would know that this is actually not the case and the rumour was spread to distract attention, shall we say, at the time.
