  DCI Eden and his team had received a break though concerning the Clive Manning case. Colin Barnard one of the detectives discovered that several years earlier he had changed his name legally via deed poll. He used to be known as Raymond Foster, who was born in 1973. Responsible for a lot of petty crimes during his early years, when he lived in the Harold Hill, Gallows Corner area of Essex.

  “He has a petty crime sheet as long as your arm.” He told Dave.

  “But not much else to go on.”

  Luckily another member of the team decided to run a further DNA test for siblings, and was very surprised to find that there were several matching results. Most of who, used to live around the Harold Hill area of Essex. Proving that he had been very active in the baby-making department. However, upon checking with the Social Security Office, and according to their files, it looks like he never paid a single penny to help with their up keep.

  The report further informed them that Raymond Foster had eventually moved to the Norwich area. Becoming the head of a legitimate company. That eventually turned out to be a front for a local crime gang. At present, there is talk and chatter that he could be getting involved in an International syndicate. It was also believed that they are trying to branch out and set up in the United Kingdom.

  “Can you pass this information on to Mr Jones, for me.” Dave asked.

  To which DCI Eden agreed.
