In just four weeks a New Zealand private detective has done what a high powered team of British police have been unable to achieve in six years.

He has made a break through in the disappearance of Kiwi Lee Sheppard, who never came home from his night shift in a London factory.

For years British police ruled out the possibility he died at work.

They suggested he may have run away from his newly pregnant wife, or been the victim of foul play away from the factory.

They even suggested he had links with the criminal underworld.

But a Kiwi private detective is now convinced Lee Sheppard died in an industrial accident in the factory and that the death may even have been covered up.

It is a scenario the British police now support and they have reopened an investigation centred on the factory.
