James Bulger disappeared from a shopping center in Bootle in February 1993, and the case unfolded through CCTV, witness statements, and a growing realization that the usual assumptions did not apply. We walk through the moments that were missed in public, the inconsistencies in what people thought they saw, and what the investigation and trial later made clear while still leaving key questions unanswered. Allison guides the story carefully, grounding it in the details that shaped how this case was understood then and how it is argued about now.
