Summary

Charlene Downes was a happy-go-lucky schoolgirl from Blackpool when aged 14 she began to start acting differently: staying out late, playing truant from school and hanging out with a new crowd. Typical teenage behaviour some would say, but when on the night of 1st November 2003 Charlene failed to come home, her behaviour took on a sinister significance. In this memoir, her heartbroken mother Karen tells the full story behind the headlines for the very first time. How despite a large number of arrests and even a murder trial that resulted in no convictions, the truth about Charlene's disappearance has never been discovered
