This episode tells the story of the murder of 15-year-old Louise Sellars, who went missing in 1995. The following day, her body was found five miles from her home in a field, strangled and severely beaten. Police immediately began questioning residents with a particular focus on the teenage population of Appley Bridge. The questioning allowed them to zero in on a suspect, Darren Ashurst, whose car was spotted on the evening in question, driving erratically.
