0:05:49 > 0:05:51That's where he works.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I do the laundry here for him.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59He was just lying there...
0:05:59 > 0:06:02on the floor. How often does he come back?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06He came when he could.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08This place, it...
0:06:09 > 0:06:13..meant a lot to him. Yes.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Were you expecting him back?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Not until the weekend.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23He must have arrived late last night, I didn't hear anything.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28He never married?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I never asked him about his private life - it wasn't my business to.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Did he ever bring anyone back to the house? No.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Who's this?
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Lewis, my son.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Does he live here?

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Where's he now?
0:06:53 > 0:06:58Working...over at the church - renovations.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I'll need to speak to him.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Owen Beynon was on the 16:43 from Euston, London.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12He arrived into Aber at 21:25,
0:07:12 > 0:07:15caught a taxi from the station, was dropped off at the gate. Alone?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17According to the taxi driver,
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Mr Beynon showed no sign of concern or agitation.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23So, the victim arrives home late, pours himself a whisky
0:07:23 > 0:07:24and goes to bed.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Some time later, he was woken by an intruder.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Do we have a list of what was taken from the house?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32We searched the house, we searched the grounds - as far as we can tell,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34a pair of antique shotguns - nothing else, sir.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39What else do we know about Owen Beynon?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41We've spoken to the victim's sister,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43she hadn't spoken to Owen in over a year.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47What about neighbours, associates? Glyn Powell, neighbouring farmer,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49he did some odd jobs around the estate for some extra cash.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51So, he has access? Yeah.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Do we have an address? Home and work.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57The Beynons were a big noise in the county -
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Owen and his sister were the last of them.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02You knew him, sir?
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Our paths crossed a few times. His family was well-respected.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08What about Owen?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15His death won't go unnoticed.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Glyn Powell, we should talk to him.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I know you're under a lot of pressure, Tom.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Lovely looking things.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Expensive, too. Yes, well, depends who's buying.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34Were you and Mr Beynon friends?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I wouldn't go as far as that. I did a few jobs for him.

0:46:32 > 0:46:35We need a DNA comparison between Nora and the dead child.
0:46:35 > 0:46:37We need to establish time and cause of death
0:46:37 > 0:46:39and when the child was buried.
0:46:39 > 0:46:42Are there any records of a second child? No. I checked.
0:46:42 > 0:46:47Nora Protheroe was visited regularly by a health worker until 1999.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49Only one pregnancy was ever recorded.

0:46:55 > 0:46:58No external injuries or signs of violence.
0:46:59 > 0:47:02She died of natural causes? Looks that way.
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Most likely she suffered an epileptic fit.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08Nora Protheroe.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11A troubled girl, gets pregnant, has a baby,
0:47:11 > 0:47:13lives a life of virtual recluse.
0:47:13 > 0:47:14Why?
0:47:15 > 0:47:17Perhaps she had something to hide.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Daniel didn't report his mother's death
0:47:21 > 0:47:22because she was all he ever had.
0:47:25 > 0:47:26All he ever knew.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30And the only person who ever loved him.
0:47:32 > 0:47:33This boy...
0:47:36 > 0:47:38..is a poacher, a stargazer.

0:48:14 > 0:48:17I want to talk to your daughter. I'm not sure. My husband's...
0:48:17 > 0:48:20It's OK, Mam, I want to talk to him.
0:48:20 > 0:48:21On my own.
0:48:29 > 0:48:30I used to see him in school.
0:48:32 > 0:48:33Across the playground.
0:48:37 > 0:48:39And up on the mountain.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44He was the loneliest boy I ever saw.
0:48:49 > 0:48:50All those times I saw him...
0:48:52 > 0:48:53..he never looked back at me.
0:48:55 > 0:48:56So, what changed?
0:48:59 > 0:49:00I dunno.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04About...a year ago...
0:49:06 > 0:49:08..it's like he looked up for the first time.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11Like he saw me.
0:49:13 > 0:49:14A year ago?
0:49:16 > 0:49:18His mother was dead.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22He was lonely.
0:49:24 > 0:49:25He was reaching out.
0:49:28 > 0:49:29Where is he, Branwen?
0:49:32 > 0:49:33I wish I knew.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Why does everyone hate him so much?
0:49:36 > 0:49:38They treat him like he's an animal
0:49:38 > 0:49:40just because he's different from them.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50Do you know who could've done this to him?
0:49:53 > 0:49:57Who did it, Branwen?! You have to leave! You can see she's upset!
0:50:03 > 0:50:04(OK.)
0:50:22 > 0:50:25The baby was wrapped in a blanket and plastic.
0:50:25 > 0:50:27But inside, it was wrapped in newspaper.
0:50:27 > 0:50:29The paper underneath the body perished,
0:50:29 > 0:50:32but above the body, a few bits survived.
0:50:32 > 0:50:33Look at this date.
0:50:35 > 0:50:3720th June 1999.
0:50:40 > 0:50:41If that was the date of burial,
0:50:41 > 0:50:45it makes the approximate date of birth February 1997.
0:50:45 > 0:50:46The same age as Daniel.
0:50:51 > 0:50:55It doesn't make any sense. There were no other children, right?
0:50:55 > 0:50:57The records confirm that.
0:50:57 > 0:51:01So, the little boy we pulled from the ground, who is he?
0:51:01 > 0:51:03I think it's Daniel.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06The child's DNA matches the mother's.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08Confirmation just came through.
0:51:08 > 0:51:12So, if the dead child is Daniel Protheroe...

0:51:57 > 0:52:021999, Daniel dies and Nora buries the body in the garden.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04After that, she disappears off the radar.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07Next thing you know, it's 2001
0:52:07 > 0:52:11and Nora enrols her child at Coed-y-Fedw Primary School
0:52:11 > 0:52:13and that boy is also called Daniel.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15They tested Daniel's toothbrush from the house.
0:52:15 > 0:52:18The DNA results confirmed there is no familial match
0:52:18 > 0:52:20between Nora Protheroe and the boy she enrolled at school.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22So, who...
0:52:24 > 0:52:26..is this?
0:52:29 > 0:52:31We've been through every database, local and national,
0:52:31 > 0:52:34searching for any missing or abducted children.
0:52:34 > 0:52:37We extended the age range in case we're wrong about the timeline.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40There are no unsolved disappearances of any boy of that age at that time.
0:52:40 > 0:52:44But a child doesn't just disappear like that, unnoticed.
0:52:44 > 0:52:47There's media coverage, grieving parents. Look!
0:52:52 > 0:52:55This...is the important timeline.

0:53:28 > 0:53:29What's the latest?
0:53:29 > 0:53:32We're still looking for Daniel Protheroe, sir. Is he our killer?
0:53:32 > 0:53:33In my opinion, no, he's not.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35Then why are we pursuing him?
0:53:35 > 0:53:38To save him from the ones who think that he is, sir.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42And Owen Beynon? We're still pursuing all possible leads, sir.
0:53:48 > 0:53:50He was very well-connected, Tom.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52I need results.
0:53:52 > 0:53:53Well, I'm doing my best, sir.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58You can tell that to the IPCC next time.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28We were looking for a missing child, not a dead one!
0:54:28 > 0:54:32April 1999, a child disappears in the sand dunes at Ynyslas.
0:54:32 > 0:54:35His name was Aled Roberts. He was three years old.
0:54:35 > 0:54:38The area was searched, but the boy was never found.
0:54:38 > 0:54:40It was presumed that he drowned at sea.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42The body was never recovered.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58This is the same boy.
0:54:58 > 0:55:00This is Daniel.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02I was part of the team that searched Ynyslas.
0:55:02 > 0:55:04I'd only been in uniform two years.
0:55:04 > 0:55:06I remember what the mother said at the press conference.
0:55:06 > 0:55:09"One minute he was laughing, the next he was gone."
0:55:09 > 0:55:13In 2006, the child was legally declared dead.
0:55:13 > 0:55:14The case officially remains open,
0:55:14 > 0:55:17but with no evidence of foul play, it hasn't been reviewed in years.
0:55:17 > 0:55:19Why didn't he come up on the database?
0:55:19 > 0:55:20It hadn't been updated properly.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22Why didn't you remember? He was presumed dead!
0:55:24 > 0:55:26Have we got an address for the parents?
0:55:26 > 0:55:29I don't think we should speak to them. Their child is still alive!
0:55:29 > 0:55:31As far as the family is concerned, their son is dead.
0:55:35 > 0:55:37You're not listening to me!
0:55:37 > 0:55:39We should contact Social Services.
0:55:39 > 0:55:41We don't know their situation, what the consequences might be.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43They deserve to know!
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Of course they do, but there's a way of doing things.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48They shouldn't have to wait!

0:59:08 > 0:59:11OK, Mared, I get it. Do you?
