I felt this case would be appropriate since a million 2 € euro coins now have his face on them

According to the article, Liam simply wandered out the house never to be seen again. This gives some hope that perhaps he may still be alive. Unfortunately, it would have to be a kidnapper. If some random kid wandered into my house, I'm calling the cops to try to figure out who he is and send him back to the parents.

Oh yes definitely he may still be alive and it's very interesting how they are using currency to bring attention to his case and other missing persons in general by the #coinsofhope as they have been called.

He's been missing for 20 years and is one of Belgium's oldest cases and of course they picked Liam for the face on the coin since he's the youngest missing person.

This case took a turn in which authorities here in the states really haven't attempted and it's a great tactic. As to what may have happened to him, he likely wandered off and was taken by kidnappers and may still be alive which seems to be more likely.

Also this tactic gives good ideas for other hard to solve cases.
