The police used many methods to locate Shergar and most interestingly they sought help from psychics, diviners and the mysterious Mobius group. They claimed to be able to locate Shergar and used parts of his saddle to sniff him out.
A supergrass emerges claiming he knows the identity of the masked men. Is this the end?
Not for Shergar’s legacy, his sporting achievements are still adored and his name used widely today to symbolise something we may never see again.
