Throughout the last 31 years Horvathâs mother, Denise Horvath-Allan, has never stopped looking for her son. COVID-19 restrictions have prevented her from travelling to Âé¶čAV from the UK this spring, but she remains determined in her efforts to find her son.
âThe circumstances of his disappearance are suspicious,â said Sgt. Paul Gosling of the Âé¶čAV Serious Crime Unit.
âHis family has never stopped looking for him, and neither have we. Someone knows what happened to Charles, and weâre asking them to come forward and help us solve this investigation.â
