He says he would have thought about his son "differently" if police had said he'd been killed. He continues: "If they'd told me that a strange man had lured him to a seedy apartment, and a few minutes later, drugged, strangled, then sexually assaulted and mutilated his dead body - in other words, if they'd told me the same horrible things that they had to tell so many other fathers and mothers in July 1991, then I would have done what they have done. "I would have mourned my son and demanded that the man who'd killed him be profoundly punished. "If not executed, then separated forever from the rest of us."Lionel goes on to describe how he would have thought of his son "warmly" if he had been killed, visiting his grave and being a "custodian of his memory".However, he wasn't told what the other parents were.
