0:01:28 > 0:01:29All right, son?

0:01:31 > 0:01:34You OK there?

0:02:07 > 0:02:10We'd better not go in together. People might suspect.

0:02:10 > 0:02:11Wait a minute before you follow me.

0:02:20 > 0:02:21Please tell me your name.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Have you run away from home?

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Morning, Sarge.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31The officer will take you to our interview room.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Would you like a drink? Juice or something?

0:02:37 > 0:02:38Cheers.

0:02:43 > 0:02:45Where was he picked up?

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Wandering along Kingsway.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50- He won't, or can't, tell us his name and address.- Can't?

0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Hasn't said anything apart from a sequence of numbers.- Drugs? Shock?

0:02:54 > 0:02:55I don't know.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Someone's looking for him.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Let's find out who he is and get him home.

0:03:00 > 0:03:04- Sorry I'm late... - I'm really not interested, Amy.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07You clock in on time like the rest of us.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12That applies to you, too, DC Doyle.

0:03:12 > 0:03:16I want you to take MPU as seriously as you did Vice.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18You never know.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20You might learn something.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Bring Amy up to speed. I want to find out who that young man is.

0:03:34 > 0:03:38We need to find out where you live so we can take you home.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Can we take a look in your bag?

0:03:47 > 0:03:50Won't your family be worried?

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Is there someone we could contact?

0:03:55 > 0:03:59There's nothing, apart from this key ring.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04AT, these your initials?

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Alan?

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Andrew?

0:04:11 > 0:04:13Alex?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Can I take a look at your book?

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Wow. These are great.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24KNOCKING

0:04:25 > 0:04:29I checked the PNC. No-one matching his description is missing.

0:04:31 > 0:04:33Anthony Taylor.

0:04:34 > 0:04:35Is that your name?

0:04:35 > 0:04:38I'll go through the electoral roll.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Have you run away from home?

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Don't worry. We'll soon find out where you're from

0:04:43 > 0:04:46and get you back safely.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Oh, MJ, I did some research on the symptoms that Jason described.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Difficulty communicating, verbal repetition.

0:04:52 > 0:04:53He could have a form of autism.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56I'll make some calls, get some expert advice.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59- You contact the LEA and social services.- Will do.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04Jase, when you're finished here, fire escape. Bit of privacy.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09No record at all of an Anthony Taylor?

0:05:10 > 0:05:11Right.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15Would you expect to have details of everyone in the area with autism?

0:05:15 > 0:05:16OK.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18All right. Thank you. Bye bye.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Mary Jane!

0:05:20 > 0:05:24How's my favourite detective sergeant in the whole wide world?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26How did you get past front desk?

0:05:26 > 0:05:30- With a friendly smile.- It's meant to be authorised people only.

0:05:30 > 0:05:31They all know me.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36Dover Radio mug! It's a freebie just for you, and I've got mouse mats and pens as well.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39What are you after, Danny?

0:05:39 > 0:05:41Well, it suddenly struck me

0:05:41 > 0:05:46that you would be the perfect person for my show tonight.

0:05:46 > 0:05:48Your guest has dropped out.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50Well, it's a blessing in disguise.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52You'll be fantastic.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54I'm not going on the radio.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57And I certainly can't be bribed with a...free mug.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00- But it's my first show.- No!

0:06:00 > 0:06:03I thought you were happy being a crime journalist.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06What does Liz think about you packing it all in?

0:06:06 > 0:06:07She thinks it's a great idea.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10She hopes I'll spend less time drinking with coppers.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15Probably just trying to humour you through your mid-life crisis.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17After the favours I've done you over the years!

0:06:17 > 0:06:19You've had your fair share of exclusives.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21I'm not going on your show.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23We've known each other a long time, MJ.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Yes, too long, Danny. Out you go.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Out you go. Bye.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Look, um... Last night.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Don't get me wrong, it was...nice.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Yeah?- Probably. I mean, we were really, really drunk.

0:06:47 > 0:06:51Anyway, it was just a one-off. Right?

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Um... OK.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56- From now on, we're just good colleagues.- Yeah. It's no problem.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59- No need for any awkwardness.- No!

0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Right, I'll see you...- Inside.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05Yeah.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07- OK.- Yeah, it's cool.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11It's cool.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17OK.

0:07:19 > 0:07:20Thanks.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Bye.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Any luck?- Broughton High School had a pupil called Anthony Taylor

0:07:25 > 0:07:27up until four years ago.

0:07:27 > 0:07:31He was withdrawn by his mother, a Sandra Taylor, to be taught at home.

0:07:31 > 0:07:36Kent Autistic Family Support don't have an Anthony Taylor on their books. You found anything?

0:07:36 > 0:07:39I have an Anthony Taylor and a Sandra Taylor at 45 Bankshire Road.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41There's a phone number.

0:07:41 > 0:07:42Bankshire Road?

0:07:42 > 0:07:46That's only five minutes' walk from where Anthony was picked up.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- It's looking likely, then. - Answer machine.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51She's probably out looking for him.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Hi, this is Amy Garnett at...

0:07:53 > 0:07:57Want me to go over? I'll see if the neighbours have Sandra's mobile.

0:07:57 > 0:07:58No. No, I'll take it.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02Are you OK?

0:08:02 > 0:08:06Something's happened to my fiance, Etienne. I don't know where he is.

0:08:06 > 0:08:12- What's your name?- Jan. Jan Morgan. - OK, Jan.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15DC Doyle will take the details. Through there, please.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Amy, I want you to sit in on this interview.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Bit of female support?

0:08:21 > 0:08:26No, I think Jason's fully in touch with his feminine side.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Your fiance's full name is Etienne George?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33He's from St Lucia.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36We should be on a flight on our way over there now.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40- He was meant to pick me up hours ago, but he didn't - You've missed your flight?

0:08:41 > 0:08:45I've tried calling him but there's no answer on his mobile.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49- When did you last speak to him? - Last night.- How did he sound?

0:08:49 > 0:08:51A bit stressed.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55- He still had things to sort out. - Have you checked at Etienne's place?

0:08:55 > 0:08:58We've both given up our flats to move to St Lucia.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01So he's been staying with a friend, but he's not there.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04We're getting married next week.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Come on.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21Look, I can't leave you here on your own. Please?

0:09:25 > 0:09:27This is your house, isn't it?

0:09:29 > 0:09:32OK. You stay there, right?

0:09:38 > 0:09:40DOORBELL RINGS

0:09:40 > 0:09:44We met at work. I'd been there for ten years.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Spent nine of them thinking about leaving.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Boring office work.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Then Etienne started. He was on the reception desk.

0:09:52 > 0:09:57I didn't know what to say to him at first, but eventually he plucked up courage.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Never have much luck, you see.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Tend to get a bit carried away, thinking I've met the one,

0:10:02 > 0:10:06only to find they're not really into me in the same way.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Etienne's different.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10So lovely.

0:10:10 > 0:10:16When I got made redundant, we thought "Let's do it. Let's move to St Lucia."

0:10:16 > 0:10:19Everyone says it's so beautiful out there.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21Do you have any photos of him?

0:10:21 > 0:10:22Yeah.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Here's one taken at my leaving party.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Hates his photo being taken.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32He's very good looking.

0:10:32 > 0:10:33Yes.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58Hello?

0:11:09 > 0:11:11Anyone at home?

0:11:15 > 0:11:16Sandra?

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Has he got any friends or relatives over here?

0:11:19 > 0:11:23I've spoken to all his friends, but no-one's heard from him.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25All of his family live in St Lucia.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28We're staying with them until our house is finished.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Wow, you're having a new house built? - Yeah.

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Things are so much cheaper out there, Etienne said.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37We put a deposit down. It should be ready after the wedding.

0:11:40 > 0:11:41Look.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Etienne's cousin's a property developer.

0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Can I borrow this, to check if Etienne's cousin has heard from him? - Sure.

0:11:48 > 0:11:49Got your flight number?

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Yeah, somewhere.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Why?- We need to check Etienne wasn't on the plane.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59He wouldn't have left without me.

0:11:59 > 0:12:01We need to check everything.

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Cheers.

0:12:07 > 0:12:08Please.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Help me find him.

0:12:12 > 0:12:13We'll do our best.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51For goodness' sake, Anthony! You nearly gave me a heart attack.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Do you know what happened here?

0:12:55 > 0:12:582011256258.

0:12:58 > 0:13:002011...

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Anthony, where's your mum?

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- 201...- Have the numbers got something to do with your mum?

0:13:05 > 0:13:092011256258.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14Jason?

0:13:14 > 0:13:18Sandra's left her mobile phone and her keys in the house.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21Either she left in a hurry, or something's happened to her.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25Our missing person isn't Anthony. It's his mum, Sandra.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27I called the airport.

0:13:27 > 0:13:31- Etienne wasn't on the flight.- See! I told you he wouldn't go without me.

0:13:31 > 0:13:33There were no flights booked in your names.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36You must have made a mistake.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38We went to the travel agents together.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40I called them too.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Etienne went and cancelled. He got a refund.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45They must have misunderstood.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47We were meant to be leaving today.

0:13:47 > 0:13:48His relatives are expecting us.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51We were going to see the new house for the first time.

0:13:51 > 0:13:52How did you pay the house deposit?

0:13:52 > 0:13:55That was me. I had my redundancy, didn't I?

0:13:55 > 0:13:58I gave the money to Etienne and he sorted it with his cousin.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00Do you mind me asking how much it was?

0:14:00 > 0:14:02£4,000.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04Can you give us a second?

0:14:12 > 0:14:15You know the expression love is blind.

0:14:15 > 0:14:17Seems he cleared her back account.

0:14:17 > 0:14:19He cancelled the flights. Why isn't she suspicious?

0:14:19 > 0:14:22We'll check out his cousin. He might shed some light on it.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26- I'll look into it. - Good call asking about the deposit. I was gonna do that.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27But I beat you to it.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32We need to search the surrounding areas.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36Go door to door, talk to neighbours, see if they've seen or heard anything.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39We're now treating Sandra Taylor as a missing person.

0:14:39 > 0:14:41I want her located urgently.

0:14:41 > 0:14:42OK.

0:14:46 > 0:14:47Cheers.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Is this your mum and dad, Anthony?

0:14:55 > 0:14:57Do you know where your dad lives?

0:15:00 > 0:15:03Don't worry. We'll find him.

0:15:03 > 0:15:07St Lucian Land Registry have no record of the development.

0:15:07 > 0:15:08The plot of land doesn't exist.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11What about Etienne's cousin?

0:15:11 > 0:15:13They've never heard of him, or his company.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15But you saw the brochure!

0:15:15 > 0:15:17There'll be an explanation.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Apart from the money you lent him for the deposit, was there anything else?

0:15:20 > 0:15:26Yeah. I gave him £500 to get the rings and a suit, something nice for the wedding day.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29But I saw them!

0:15:29 > 0:15:31He couldn't resist.

0:15:31 > 0:15:35I told him I wanted it to be a surprise, but Etienne was so excited he showed them to me.

0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Even put the suit on. - Where did he buy them?

0:15:38 > 0:15:40The suit came from that department store in town.

0:15:40 > 0:15:43He said he got the rings from one of those jewellers nearby.

0:15:43 > 0:15:46But it was all my idea. I forced him to take the money.

0:15:46 > 0:15:51He was embarrassed. We just wanted to do things right.

0:15:51 > 0:15:56- I understand what you're thinking, but Etienne wouldn't do that! - Don't worry.

0:15:56 > 0:15:57We'll keep looking.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Thank you.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04How are you doing with Jan?

0:16:04 > 0:16:05She's a bit calmer.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08I don't think we'll get the romantic ending she hopes for.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Sounds intriguing.

0:16:10 > 0:16:11It's all in hand, MJ.

0:16:13 > 0:16:17I'm assuming this is Anthony's father and Sandra.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20According to marriage records, he's Edward Taylor.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24They got married in 88, divorced three years ago. Track him down.

0:16:24 > 0:16:28And Anthony kept repeating these numbers. It's not a phone number.

0:16:28 > 0:16:32Bank account or computer password?

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Maybe he plays bingo!

0:16:34 > 0:16:36Your jokes are as bad as your timekeeping.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39See what you can come up with.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43We've got an Edward Taylor in for assault four years ago.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47He was fined and bound over to keep the peace. Same date of birth.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Got an address?- Yeah.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Go and see him.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07Morning. DC Jason Doyle, Dover Missing Persons Unit.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11- I'm looking for an Edward Taylor. - I didn't even know I was missing!

0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Are you Edward Taylor?- Yeah.

0:17:13 > 0:17:14Sorry, couldn't resist. Eddie.

0:17:14 > 0:17:18Are you related to Anthony Taylor of 45 Bankshire Road?

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Yeah, he's my son. Is everything OK?

0:17:20 > 0:17:23He was found on his own earlier this morning.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Can I ask if your son's autistic, Mr Taylor?

0:17:25 > 0:17:27He is. Where was his mum?

0:17:27 > 0:17:30We're trying to locate her. We hoped you'd help.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32It's over a year since I've seen them.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36We'd like you to come to the station. We need to find out what's happened.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39Sorry, I've got a two-month-old baby and a business to run.

0:17:39 > 0:17:41Anthony's on his own there.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Look, Sandra made it clear

0:17:43 > 0:17:46that she and Anthony wanted nothing more to do with me.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48Why's that?

0:17:49 > 0:17:52I've got a baby to see to. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54Your son needs you.

0:17:59 > 0:18:02Sandra would never leave Anthony on his own.

0:18:02 > 0:18:06- He'll have wandered off. She'll be looking for him.- I don't think so.

0:18:06 > 0:18:11You really need to come with me to the station, Mr Taylor, now.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14I have to make sure Karen and Daisy are OK first.

0:18:17 > 0:18:18PHONE RINGS

0:18:18 > 0:18:20Not now, Danny.

0:18:20 > 0:18:22If there is one thing I learned

0:18:22 > 0:18:25in all my years of reporting crime, it's persistence.

0:18:25 > 0:18:26I think I said no.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28You'll regret it if you don't!

0:18:28 > 0:18:32- It's great PR for the Missing Persons Unit.- You sound desperate.

0:18:32 > 0:18:35- No! Of course not. - Get someone else, then. Bye.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37No, don't go. Don't go.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41OK. I'm desperate.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43'You didn't ask me first.'

0:18:43 > 0:18:45Now you just want to get out of a hole.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47- You'll make me suffer for this. - Of course.

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Please?

0:18:49 > 0:18:52I promised my producer I'd get someone for the show,

0:18:52 > 0:18:56and it's not looking good. Come on, MJ.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57OK, what time?

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Oh, fantastic!

0:19:00 > 0:19:04Well, get there about 8 o'clock and I'll show you the ropes.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07'Don't worry. You'll be brilliant. The public'll love you.'

0:19:07 > 0:19:09Hello?

0:19:10 > 0:19:11HE CHUCKLES

0:19:13 > 0:19:16How are you getting on with Anthony and those numbers?

0:19:16 > 0:19:18I've ruled out phone numbers and bus numbers,

0:19:18 > 0:19:20but to be honest, they could be anything.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22OK, well, stay on it.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25According to the Inland Revenue, Sandra was self-employed.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27She sold jewellery online.

0:19:27 > 0:19:28- That throw up any contacts?- No.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32Her material suppliers haven't spoken to her in months.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35Get uniform at the house. Get her bank and credit card statements.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37Find out how the business is doing.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39Any news on Etienne yet?

0:19:39 > 0:19:43We're still chasing a few angles and waiting for St Lucia police to reply.

0:19:43 > 0:19:44Excellent.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15Hello, son.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19Hey. What's happening, eh?

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Where's your mum?

0:20:25 > 0:20:27Anthony!

0:20:27 > 0:20:29Thanks for coming in, Mr Taylor.

0:20:29 > 0:20:33Anthony, why don't you do your colouring while we talk to your dad?

0:20:38 > 0:20:39I've never seen him so withdrawn.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42What do you think could have upset him?

0:20:42 > 0:20:43Breaking his usual routine.

0:20:43 > 0:20:48- Being apart from Sandra. - Has it been hard for you, being excluded from his life?

0:20:48 > 0:20:54- What's that got to do with anything? - You must be bitter and angry.- Jason!

0:20:54 > 0:20:57- When was the last time you saw Sandra?- More than a year ago.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01- And you've no knowledge of who would smash up her house?- What?

0:21:01 > 0:21:04November 2004, you admitted a charge of actual bodily harm.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08I gave a loudmouth a slap for taking the mickey out of Anthony.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10I've been at home with Karen and Daisy all day.

0:21:10 > 0:21:15- Instead of having a go at me, you should look for Sandra! - If you could just wait a sec.

0:21:15 > 0:21:16A word, please.

0:21:25 > 0:21:31Jason, in this department, we deal with people whose friends and loved ones are missing.

0:21:31 > 0:21:32They are not suspects.

0:21:32 > 0:21:37- He's her ex, and he's got a previous for violence. It was worth a go.- No, it wasn't!

0:21:37 > 0:21:40You need to brush up on your people skills.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43That's why you were transferred here in the first place.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Someone get their wrists slapped?

0:21:50 > 0:21:53Don't worry about it. Get a bite to eat. It'll be fine.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- I'm not really doing food.- What?

0:21:56 > 0:21:58You're not hung-over?

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Canteen cappuccino. Works every time.

0:22:08 > 0:22:13DC Doyle gets a bit carried away at times, but he means well.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19- We need all the help we can get finding Sandra.- What can I do?

0:22:19 > 0:22:20Tell me all about her.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22How long were you together?

0:22:24 > 0:22:25Since we were kids, really.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30She was my first serious girlfriend.

0:22:30 > 0:22:31What happened?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Grew apart, like lots of couples.

0:22:34 > 0:22:39I'm sure you were both under a lot of pressure, bringing up Anthony.

0:22:40 > 0:22:47She... We decided to treat his autism as a manageable condition.

0:22:47 > 0:22:50That's easy to say with a young boy, isn't it?

0:22:50 > 0:22:54Sandra was determined we could care for Anthony without outside help. I disagreed.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Was it hard, leaving your son?

0:22:57 > 0:23:00We decided it would be best for me not to be involved.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03You don't sound too sure.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07I love my son.

0:23:10 > 0:23:15Having a kid with a disability... changes everything.

0:23:17 > 0:23:20I don't see what any of this has to do with finding Sandra.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22Everything helps. Believe me.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27The only thing that Anthony has said since we found him

0:23:27 > 0:23:32is a series of numbers he keeps repeating. Any idea what they could mean?

0:23:33 > 0:23:36He's been obsessed with numbers since he was a baby.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40One year it would be train timetables, the next year, flight numbers...

0:23:41 > 0:23:492011256258.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53Sorry.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03What do these numbers mean, Anthony?

0:24:06 > 0:24:09Have they got anything to do with your mum?

0:24:14 > 0:24:16Have you hurt yourself, Anthony?

0:24:17 > 0:24:19I just want to check that you're OK.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21- No!- Anthony!

0:24:21 > 0:24:24No one's going to hurt you, Anthony.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26I just want to check you're OK.

0:24:26 > 0:24:30Anthony! Look, no, leave. Hey.

0:24:30 > 0:24:34There's nothing wrong, all right? Everyone's going.

0:24:47 > 0:24:51He...he just gets a little upset if there's a lot of people around.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56Leave him alone. He'll calm down in a few minutes.

0:24:58 > 0:24:59OK.

0:25:01 > 0:25:03He's always had a temper.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06Just got worse as he grew older.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09Our GP said there was medication we could give him to keep him calm.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12Sandra was furious. Said I wanted to turn him into a vegetable.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16I think we've got to assume that Anthony caused the damage at the house.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18There's no sign of forced entry.

0:25:18 > 0:25:23Anthony's bruised. Eddie, how bad can his temper get?

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Is he capable of harming Sandra?

0:25:26 > 0:25:27Doesn't know his own strength.

0:25:41 > 0:25:4720...11...256258.

0:25:47 > 0:25:502011...256258.

0:25:50 > 0:25:562011256...25...8.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59This is starting to look more serious than just a missing person.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01What'll happen to Anthony?

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Let's just try and find Sandra first.

0:26:04 > 0:26:09I might need to talk to CID, but I don't want to jump to any conclusions.

0:26:16 > 0:26:17PHONE RINGS

0:26:30 > 0:26:31From the St Lucia police.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33What do you reckon?

0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Are you OK after Anthony?- I'm fine.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38What have you got there?

0:26:38 > 0:26:42Two property scams. Slightly different MO to our Etienne.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45Two couples bought holiday homes over there that didn't exist,

0:26:45 > 0:26:50- but the company involved had exactly the same PO box number as the one in Jan's brochures.- Got any other leads?

0:26:50 > 0:26:54Jan lent him money to buy wedding rings. Amy's been looking into it.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Good teamwork.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Yeah. She's a fast learner.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02And it normally takes me so long to pick things up(!)

0:27:05 > 0:27:06Really good teamwork(!)

0:27:08 > 0:27:11I'm sorry. That came out wrong. It was...

0:27:11 > 0:27:12How's that hangover of yours?

0:27:14 > 0:27:16Well, I thought it was getting better.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48He's had about 15 minutes. He'll probably be a bit calmer now.

0:27:48 > 0:27:52- He can take as long as he likes. - Might be good to check in on him. - Whatever you need to do.

0:27:54 > 0:27:57Thank you. For being so understanding.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03Sandra's bank card was used in the chemists 20 minutes ago.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Medistores chemist.- It's at the very end of the High Street.

0:28:06 > 0:28:09Get over there with a photo of Sandra. Ask for witnesses,

0:28:09 > 0:28:12any indication of her state of mind or where she was heading.

0:28:12 > 0:28:17I've been going through Sandra's bank statements, and business isn't exactly booming.

0:28:17 > 0:28:19- Credit crunch.- Her personal account's not much better either.

0:28:19 > 0:28:24- Her overdraft is maxed.- So on top of everything else, the poor woman's up to her eyeballs in debt.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26Where's Anthony? He's not in the interview room!

0:28:26 > 0:28:28It's my fault. I told you to leave him.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31- He can't have got far. - He's not been out through reception.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33Fire escape.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41This is all we need.

0:28:43 > 0:28:45We've got all units out looking for Anthony.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48We've circulated the description, we should pick him up soon.

0:28:48 > 0:28:50- I shouldn't have left him. - Anthony was distressed.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53- It wasn't your fault. - I never make the right decisions.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57- Any idea where he may have gone? - He'd normally be with his mum.

0:28:58 > 0:29:02- Look, can I...step out and get some fresh air? - As soon as I hear anything...

0:29:02 > 0:29:04Thanks.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09I had a call from Jason. He's at the chemist.

0:29:09 > 0:29:13Sandra bought a packet of paracetamol and then tried to buy three more, but they refused her.

0:29:13 > 0:29:17- She apparently looked distressed. - That doesn't sound good.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19I'll make some calls, see if she's tried other chemists.

0:29:19 > 0:29:22If she's that desperate, she'll try and get more.

0:29:34 > 0:29:372011256258.

0:29:37 > 0:29:402011256258.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44- Anthony.- 2011256258.

0:29:44 > 0:29:49- 201125...- Anthony. You need to come with me, Anthony.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53- 2011256258.- Come on.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56Let me take you back to your dad.

0:30:01 > 0:30:04You OK, son?

0:30:04 > 0:30:06I was really worried about you.

0:30:08 > 0:30:09Anything on Sandra?

0:30:09 > 0:30:12Not yet.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15I just left the chemist.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19He wasn't that far from where we picked him up this morning.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21- I think he knows where she is. - Why's that?

0:30:21 > 0:30:23It can't be a coincidence.

0:30:23 > 0:30:27We now know Sandra was on the High Street, and now Anthony was on the same route.

0:30:27 > 0:30:29I think you're on to something.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32And the numbers he's repeating definitely means something.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35I've got patrols on alert. I'll check if she's bought more tablets.

0:30:35 > 0:30:39I spoke to the jewellers. Etienne returned the wedding rings this morning.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43- Any idea where he went? - No, but we've the opportunity to catch him red-handed.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47He's got to go back there at 5.30 to get the money off the owner.

0:30:47 > 0:30:51- The assistant can't give refunds. - Brilliant.- Do we tell Jan? - No, we need to be careful.

0:30:51 > 0:30:56- If he's a no-show at 5.30, we don't want to have made any promises. - But she's downstairs.

0:30:56 > 0:31:00We let her know we've got a promising lead, but the rest, we leave till after 5.30.

0:31:00 > 0:31:02Someone matching Sandra's description just bought

0:31:02 > 0:31:05two packets of paracetamol at a chemist's 20 minutes ago.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07Where's the latest shop?

0:31:07 > 0:31:09Vale Road, not far from town.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15- What road was he found on this morning?- Kingsway.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17What number?

0:31:17 > 0:31:19B2011.

0:31:22 > 0:31:26- Road numbers. - And I found him again on the A256.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29Which leads to the A258.

0:31:29 > 0:31:31She could be heading that way. Route out of town.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33The Heritage Coast Trail runs along there.

0:31:33 > 0:31:38Sandra was packing a picnic. Make a list of all the picnic spots around there.

0:31:38 > 0:31:40Get patrols to check them out. I'm gonna head over there.

0:31:53 > 0:31:57She's on the Heritage Coastal Trail, just past the visitor centre.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01She looks OK. But send an ambulance, just in case.

0:32:15 > 0:32:16Sandra?

0:32:17 > 0:32:20I'm DS Croft.

0:32:20 > 0:32:22Dover Missing Persons Unit.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24We've been looking for you.

0:32:24 > 0:32:27Anthony's really worried.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29- Is he OK?- He's fine.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34I've made such a mess of things.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37It's OK.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40I've really let him down.

0:32:40 > 0:32:42What happened?

0:32:42 > 0:32:45I got him the wrong colouring book.

0:32:45 > 0:32:49He...he got into one of his tempers.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53I told him to calm down, or we wouldn't go out.

0:32:53 > 0:32:57He slammed the bathroom door shut.

0:32:57 > 0:32:59He didn't know I was right behind him.

0:32:59 > 0:33:01We saw the blood.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04He was so angry.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06I was screaming at him,

0:33:06 > 0:33:11threatening to go without him just...just to punish him.

0:33:11 > 0:33:15It was so silly.

0:33:15 > 0:33:20Going on a picnic when... when I've got all these debts.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23You've had a really tough time.

0:33:23 > 0:33:27Anthony doesn't mean to be such a handful,

0:33:27 > 0:33:30but...it's just so relentless.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34Anthony's at the station with Eddie.

0:33:34 > 0:33:39I genuinely think he wants to help out, and financially.

0:33:40 > 0:33:43Well, he's gonna have to now.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46- Oh...aaagh!- Sandra?

0:33:46 > 0:33:49Sandra, have you taken any tablets?

0:33:49 > 0:33:51Sandra!

0:33:52 > 0:33:53Sandra, come on.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56How many have you taken? Sandra, tell me, please!

0:34:00 > 0:34:02Yeah, that's him.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Etienne?

0:34:23 > 0:34:27I'm DC Jason Doyle. I'm with the Dover Missing Persons Unit.

0:34:27 > 0:34:28Jan Morgan asked us to find you.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30The police?

0:34:30 > 0:34:33It's my fault. Please, I'm so sorry.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35Where's the money, Etienne?

0:34:36 > 0:34:39That's all there is.

0:34:39 > 0:34:41I told them to make it out to her.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44I'm going to get the money back on the suit.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46The least I can do is get her back her £500.

0:34:46 > 0:34:48What about the 4,000?

0:34:49 > 0:34:52My cousin took it.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55He said trust him.

0:34:55 > 0:34:56I persuaded Jan.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01I love her.

0:35:01 > 0:35:05- Am I going to be arrested?- No.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07But I think you need to explain to Jan what happened.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09You owe her that more than any money.

0:35:11 > 0:35:13- Thanks, Doctor.- No problem.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19They managed to pump her stomach in time, but it was close.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22- They're keeping her in. - How's Anthony?

0:35:22 > 0:35:24He's calm now.

0:35:24 > 0:35:28If Sandra agrees, he can come home with us tonight.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30Of course.

0:35:31 > 0:35:35- Hey. How are you feeling?- Not great.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38I had no idea things had got so bad.

0:35:38 > 0:35:41I tried too hard.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43Thought it was for the best.

0:35:43 > 0:35:45You were right.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48- I couldn't cope.- You're not to blame. I struggle with Anthony.

0:35:48 > 0:35:50What else could you do?

0:35:52 > 0:35:54I'm sorry.

0:35:54 > 0:35:58Please, I...I want to make it up to you both.

0:36:11 > 0:36:12She's in here.

0:36:18 > 0:36:21I just wanted to say how sorry I am.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24- I trusted you.- I know.

0:36:24 > 0:36:28- Why, Etienne?- I sent the money to my cousin, but he lied to us both.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31- He'd taken it all. - Why didn't you tell me?

0:36:31 > 0:36:33I wanted it to be perfect.

0:36:33 > 0:36:35I never thought this would happen.

0:36:35 > 0:36:40You agreeing to marry me, move to St Lucia, everything.

0:36:40 > 0:36:44I didn't even think you would go for a drink with me, let alone...I've messed it all up.

0:36:44 > 0:36:48- No.- I didn't know what to do.

0:36:48 > 0:36:52I took the money for the flight and hired a solicitor, and he confirmed what I already knew.

0:36:52 > 0:36:56He said I should go to the police.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58It is my fault.

0:36:58 > 0:37:02- I let you down. - You shouldn't have run, Etienne.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04I am so sorry.

0:37:04 > 0:37:06You should have trusted me.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15Not gonna take a punt on this one, but I reckon the wedding's still on.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18I knew there was a reason you were a detective.

0:37:18 > 0:37:19Very funny.

0:37:19 > 0:37:21Certainly used to be.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24It may not be Vice, but it still feels like a good day's work.

0:37:24 > 0:37:28- Thank you.- Both of you.

0:37:28 > 0:37:29It's our pleasure.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38You fancy a drink? Just good colleagues and all that?

0:37:38 > 0:37:39Sorry, Jase.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42It's probably best we give it a miss, you know? Maybe another night.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45Yeah. No problem. I understand.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47I can't tonight anyway. MJ's just called.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50She's ordered me to take part in this radio show she's doing.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53She thinks they'll be interested in all my techie palaver.

0:37:53 > 0:37:57- Sounds like she wants some support. - Probably. She's really nervous.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00I've always wanted to go on the radio. Can't wait!

0:38:11 > 0:38:14So, after you've successfully reunited a missing person with their loved ones,

0:38:14 > 0:38:19does your department have any more involvement with the family?

0:38:19 > 0:38:23No. We're just charged with locating the missing person.

0:38:26 > 0:38:32However, there are support groups and charities we can refer people to if they need help.

0:38:34 > 0:38:39What if the person who you found doesn't want any contact with their friends and family?

0:38:39 > 0:38:41If they're an adult, there's nothing we can do.

0:38:44 > 0:38:48We can let them know that they're being looked for, and then we can

0:38:48 > 0:38:52let the person who reported them missing know that they're OK.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55Thank you, DS Croft.

0:38:55 > 0:38:59After the break, we'll be straight back with your calls. So, tell us.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02Have you got any questions on what the Missing Persons Unit do?

0:39:02 > 0:39:08Or perhaps you'd like to find out more about the technical side of the investigations from Amy.

0:39:08 > 0:39:12Or perhaps there's somebody you'd like to find, and you need some advice.

0:39:12 > 0:39:15We'll be right back with your calls.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21How many callers have we got?

0:39:21 > 0:39:25- None.- Great(!) Well, hopefully they'll start phoning in soon.

0:39:25 > 0:39:29Hey. You were brilliant.

0:39:29 > 0:39:30Maybe we should swap!

0:39:33 > 0:39:35Going back on air.

0:39:35 > 0:39:39It looks as though all you folks are still watching the match!

0:39:41 > 0:39:46So, Amy, how big a part do computers play in these investigations?

0:39:46 > 0:39:50Well, there's the ANPR,

0:39:50 > 0:39:53which is the automatic number plate reader.

0:39:53 > 0:39:58And the AVLS,

0:39:58 > 0:40:04which is the automatic vehicle location system.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06Er, and there's, um...

0:40:11 > 0:40:14DS Croft, um...

0:40:16 > 0:40:24..I know that you've got some personal experience regarding a missing person yourself.

0:40:28 > 0:40:31I'm not sure the listeners are interested in any of that.

0:40:31 > 0:40:37Well, it's a fascinating story, the head of the Missing Persons Unit with a missing relative herself.

0:40:37 > 0:40:39My sister ran away a few years ago.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42She was missing for a while, yeah.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46It must have given you a hidden insight into the emotions of those left behind.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48No, not really.

0:40:48 > 0:40:53I like to keep my personal life and my work life totally separate.

0:40:53 > 0:40:56But surely you can empathise more, having been through it yourself?

0:40:59 > 0:41:00I suppose so.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07- Your sister...- Ellen.

0:41:07 > 0:41:11She was very young when she ran away, 17?

0:41:11 > 0:41:15We lost our mother when she was young and I looked after her.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17So she just went missing and she went abroad?

0:41:17 > 0:41:20I didn't know that at the time.

0:41:20 > 0:41:22I tracked her to France.

0:41:22 > 0:41:25But you spent the better part of a year searching for her.

0:41:25 > 0:41:29All that uncertainty must have been hard.

0:41:29 > 0:41:31Very.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34Could you tell us why Ellen ran away?

0:41:36 > 0:41:40I know it's hard.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43Ellen was living in a squat and it burnt down.

0:41:43 > 0:41:47She was...presumed dead, is that right?

0:41:50 > 0:41:52They told me she died in a fire, yes.

0:41:54 > 0:41:55Thank you, DS Croft.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57I know it couldn't have been easy talking about it.

0:41:57 > 0:42:04But hopefully, your honesty will inspire my listeners to be brave about their own experiences.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11What the hell do you think you're doing!?

0:42:11 > 0:42:14I'm sorry, MJ. I didn't know what to ask. It just came out.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16It was emotional. It was brilliant.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18- You had no right, Danny! - But it worked, MJ!

0:42:18 > 0:42:22- It could help somebody.- My personal life's not entertainment!

0:42:22 > 0:42:26Maybe I pushed it a bit too far, but I think you're over-reacting.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28You're out of order, Danny.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30MJ, look, I'm sorry!

0:42:31 > 0:42:33MJ!
