More light could finally be shed on the mystery surrounding the disappearance of a student nearly a decade ago.

Bishop Burton College student Russell Bohling vanished on March 2, 2010, after he left the family home in West Ella for Bishop Burton College. His Renault Clio was found at Bempton Cliffs the next day.

An inquest will now take place later this year despite the 18-year-old’s body never having been found.

There was a huge operation to try and find Russell. At the height of the Humberside Police investigation, there was a team of 12 officers searching for the teenager.

But sea, mountain and helicopter searches failed to find any trace of him.

His family embarked on a long battle over the way the case was handled and called for a more rigorous investigation over possible third-party involvement.

But they gave up the fight after a former RAF bunker, which Russell looked for online on the day he disappeared, was searched and nothing was found.

The family spoke about the case for the last time on the fifth anniversary of Russell’s disappearance.

His dad, Roger Bohling, said at the time: “We can only hope for a cold case inquiry if someone comes forward, perhaps if their conscience gets the better of them or a relationship breaks down.

“Russell’s disappearance remains a complete mystery and we can’t get any closure. There is no more we can do, we have done all we can."

Russell’s family believe he was murdered but the police have always treated it as a missing person case.

The inquest will take place on December 6 when the coroner will try and determine how Russell died.
