Police end probe into missing sailor
Western Daily Press
|December 31, 2025
POLICE have ended their investigation into the disappearance of a Royal Navy sailor nearly 40 years ago.
Simon Parkes, from Bristol, was last seen in December 1986 when the ship he was serving on, HMS Illustrious, was docked in Gibraltar.
His disappearance has previously been part of investigations by Hampshire police into killer Allan Grimson, a former petty officer, who was jailed for life for the murder of two young men and who was serving on board the aircraft carrier at the same time as the 18-year-old.
Specialist teams were again deployed to Gibraltar in 2019 after the force received new and credible intelligence.
However, it was announced on Tuesday that the case has been put on file until further information comes to light.
