Neighbours along Cider Hill Drive in Waukesha couldn’t help but notice some peculiarities with one of the homes some time around February 2025. The snow wasn’t being shovelled, the bins were remaining empty, and nobody was coming and going. It wasn’t until a welfare check some weeks later that what happened to the family became all too clear.

On the night of 27 January 1997, a driver made his way along the North Circular Road in north London. In the darkness ahead of him, something was wrong.

The driver could not have known that what he was looking at would set in motion years of grief, of obstruction, of a family's refusal to be silenced - a fight for justice that would expose one of the most s...

It was the 18th of February, 2014, and on West Lombard Street in Springfield, Missouri, a man was raking leaves in his front yard. Then a little girl came around the corner. She had her phone in hand, stopping now and then to snap a selfie. That was when the truck appeared - a gold pickup, moving slowly down the street, back and forth, past the same houses, past the same yards, in no hurry, going nowhere, just watching and waiting....

On the night of the 24th of August 1996, a 14-year-old girl left a housing estate in a small Scottish town and walked alone toward a river in the dark. The investigation into what happened to her would remain unsolved for 27 years, sustained by one mother's refusal to stop asking, and finally cracked by the memory of a four-year-old boy.

On the morning of January 17th, 1984, a 17-year-old boy picked up the phone and called 911. He said his parents were dead. The investigation that followed would divide a close-knit community, force a prosecutor to question his own instincts, and cause the detectives working the case to go home at night and look at their own children differently.
