Charlie takes us back to February 1988, when 22 year old Helen McCourt vanishes without a trace on her way home from work. A local pub landlord immediately draws suspicion, but there is no body to prove she has been murdered. This case is the first in British history (and one of the first in the world), to convict of murder without a body, using DNA evidence.
