A MOTHER has urged anyone with information to “please come forward” more than a decade after her teenage son disappeared without a trace after visiting his friend’s house.

Alexander Sloley, nicknamed “Gog” because of his glasses, grew up off Hornsey Road and was about to start his accountancy course at City and Islington College when he went missing on his way home from Edmonton back in July 2008.

He was just a few days shy of turning 17 years old. Now, the Met’s missing person squad has released an e-fit of what Alex would look like as a 28-year-old man in an effort to jog people’s memories and get new leads.

“I think about him every day,” said his ­mother Nerissa Tivy, 51, who works as a bookkeeper and still lives in Holloway.

“My last memory of him was telling him to ‘get off my bed and go sleep on your own bed’. I do wish he was still on my bed and still sleeping there,” she said.

Nerissa Tivy: ‘Whoever knows what happened will probably have kids’

Ms Tivy said her family had “suffered” without knowing what had happened to Alex, especially her daughter Lattina who is closest in age to him.

Alex’s father, Christopher, who was separated from Ms Tivy, died in 2014 without finding out what had happened to his child.

“Alex is boisterous, protective, he’s got a caring and soft heart and is loyal. He liked football, liked dressing immaculately and looking and smelling good. He liked traditional West Indian food like fried plantain, dumplings, porridge,” said Ms Tivy.

She does not think her son is currently living under a new identity or abroad. “He didn’t have a passport with him, to go off and to get a new identity is hard. I don’t know where he is.

“He had a phone with him but it stopped ringing when he went missing,” she said.

“My message to anyone who knows what happened is to come forward and speak in confidence to somebody. Whoever knows what happened will probably have kids, I’m sure they wouldn’t want this to happen to their children,” she added.

DC Tom Boon

Speaking to the Tribune outside New Scotland Yard in Westminster, Detective Constable Tom Boon warned that Alex’s missing case was “cold” and added: “We don’t have any major leads.”

DC Boon, whose missing person’s unit is headquartered in Holborn police station, said: “There have been suspected sightings in the past but sadly they have come to nothing.”

He said he will now be re-interviewing those who were closest to Alex in a bid to get new leads and “build a better picture”.

He said there was “no evidence of harm in this case” but Alex’s National Insurance number, passport and bank account have not been accessed since he went missing.

Alex had “come to the attention” of the police before he went missing on July 11 2008 but DC Boon said there “was nothing to suggest this was linked to his disappearance”.

He said the Met undertakes yearly reviews of missing people cases to determine whether they should be converted into murder investigations.

The teenager, who attended Islington Arts and Media School, had little money and no extra clothes when he went missing and there is no evidence to suggest he ran away. He is described as a light-skinned black male, with blue eyes and was 5ft 5ins tall at the time of disappearance.
