In May 1997, a teenage girl vanished from her home in southeast London. She’d called her parents just an hour earlier. Then, nothing.

What followed was a desperate search, a sudden death and a trail of evidence that pointed to someone close to home - someone her family refused to believe could be responsible.

This is the story of Kirsty Tidman - a vibrant 14-year-old whose disappearance shook her community and whose case still leaves behind more questions than answers.

In March 2024, a call to emergency services led police to a quiet home in the West Midlands. Inside, they found a child in bed, wrapped in a duvet. At first, it looked like she was sleeping. But appearances can be tragically deceiving.

What followed was a case that would reveal shocking failures, devastating truths and a fight for justice led by someone who wasn’t bound by blood - but by love.

This is the story of Shay Kang - a bright, playful 10-year-old girl whose voice was silenced far too soon and whose memory now fuels a growing movement to change the law.

In October 1982, the peaceful village of Llanberis in North Wales was shattered by an unthinkable crime - the local rector had been found brutally murdered in his own home.

Canon Alun Jones was a well-respected clergyman, known for his dedication to the Church and his quiet, compassionate presence within the community.

But behind the doors of the rectory, a violent and frenzied attack had unfolded - one carried out not by a hardened criminal, but by a troubled 15-year-old boy.

As the investigation progressed, disturbing details began to emerge. This was a murder driven not by impulse alone, but by fear, resentment, and a misguided attempt to escape the consequences of a life spiralling out of control.
