0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains some strong language.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50I'm not having it! I'm not being spoken to like that!

0:00:50 > 0:00:52I don't know what I'm supposed to have done wrong!

0:00:52 > 0:00:55You nicked my catalogue money and spent it on bloody weed!

0:00:55 > 0:00:58- I never did!- So how'd you pay for that weed then?!- Someone give it me!

0:00:58 > 0:01:00And you've no business smoking bloody weed anyway!

0:01:00 > 0:01:02You can't tell me what to do!

0:01:02 > 0:01:04Any more lip from you and I will batter you!

0:01:04 > 0:01:05If you hit me, I'll hit you back!

0:01:05 > 0:01:06Oh, yeah? Go on, try me!

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Stop!

0:01:08 > 0:01:09Don't.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Please don't hit me, Julie. - Why shouldn't I?

0:01:12 > 0:01:13Because it would hurt.

0:01:16 > 0:01:17OK, so what should I do there?

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Employ a non-violent strategy.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Such as?

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Instead of confronting your son, you could say,

0:01:24 > 0:01:26"I'm sorry, Peter, I don't want to discuss this until

0:01:26 > 0:01:28"we've both calmed down."

0:01:28 > 0:01:32You could then withdraw to your bedroom and...read a book.

0:01:33 > 0:01:34You mean, like, ground myself?

0:01:34 > 0:01:36I realise it's an unfamiliar tactic.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39It's a crap one and all. Peter would just piss himself laughing.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41So how would you deal with him?

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Well, I mean, I wouldn't give him an out and out battering.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45Just probably a dead leg, a dead arm

0:01:45 > 0:01:48and a belt round the ear for good measure.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49What about the rest of you?

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Do you feel it would be better to handle thing's Julie's way,

0:01:52 > 0:01:53or my way?

0:01:55 > 0:01:56Karen?

0:01:58 > 0:02:01I'd do it Julie's way, if I dared.

0:02:01 > 0:02:02I don't think that's the answer

0:02:02 > 0:02:05you're supposed to give, Karen, love.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Look, if we tell you you're talking bollocks,

0:02:07 > 0:02:09do we still get our certificates?

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Still don't know why they put you on t'course, Julie.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Oh, cos our Peter's been bunking off school.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18But you're a good mum.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Single mum though, so council think I need to prove it.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24I'm really rubbish.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Just cos you've got kids off different dads?

0:02:26 > 0:02:27It's not just that, I'm crap in general.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Everyone keeps saying.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Just cos people say you're crap, it don't mean you are, love.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Anyway, they can't say it any more, can they?

0:02:35 > 0:02:36Hang that on your wall.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Anyone tells you you're not a good mother,

0:02:38 > 0:02:41you can tell them to shove it up their arse.

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Hey, Natalie, I passed!

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Hmm! She's a fully certified parent now.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Good for you.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Bet it were all bollocks, though.

0:02:50 > 0:02:51Yeah, but it makes council think

0:02:51 > 0:02:54- they're doing something about estate, don't it?- Mm.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57Course has been a right laugh. And I made another friend.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59I saw your Stacey the other day. Didn't know she were expecting.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Yeah, due in March. - Glamorous granny, eh?

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Well, you best get home and put all that crap into practice then.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09- Hmm.- Go on. See you.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11- See you, Julie.- See you!

0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Have a good Christmas. - Yeah, you too.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25- ON PHONE:- Police emergency.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27I want to report my daughter as missing, please.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29Right, how old is she?

0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Nine.- Nine?

0:03:31 > 0:03:32Yeah.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35When did you last see her?

0:03:35 > 0:03:37She went to school this morning.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Right. Have there been any arguments, or...?

0:03:40 > 0:03:41No, none at all.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44- So you've rung round all her friends?- Yeah.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47- And you've been in touch with all her relatives?- Yeah.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50- There's nowhere else you've got left to look?- No.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53What do they call her?

0:03:53 > 0:03:55Shannon Matthews.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Come on, go on, you buggers, come on.

0:04:20 > 0:04:21Go on, go earn your living!

0:04:27 > 0:04:28What you doing?

0:04:28 > 0:04:32Teaching it to fly. If they don't learn to fly, foxes'll get them.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35- I'll see you.- Have you had your breakfast? I've got eggs here.

0:04:35 > 0:04:36Goose eggs? Yuck!

0:04:38 > 0:04:40You're putting it off.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42You're doing it wrong. It's a bird, not a bloody brick!

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Anyway, you should be inside getting on with your homework.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Suppose truancy officer sees you?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49He's already had me excluded, what else can he do?

0:04:49 > 0:04:52It's what I'll do you should be worried about. Get in!

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Now, birdman.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57HELICOPTER WHIRS

0:04:57 > 0:04:58Go on.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02Hey!

0:05:06 > 0:05:07Here, Julie.

0:05:10 > 0:05:11What?

0:05:11 > 0:05:15You heard about that lass? Never came home from school last night.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Police have been out looking for her all night and all.

0:05:18 > 0:05:19Who is it?

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Shannon Matthews. She's only nine.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27SIRENS

0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Julie.- Petra.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Have you heard?

0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Yeah, I'm going down Karen's now. - I'll come with you.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53It were freezing last night, but she's probably just gone home

0:05:53 > 0:05:55with a friend and stopped over.

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Yeah, yeah, it'll be something like that.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- All right, Julie? - Natalie.- Petra.- You all right?

0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Karen, love, I've just heard. - Yeah, so have I, Karen.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Oh, Julie. Thanks for coming down. - Here you are, love. Come on.

0:06:21 > 0:06:22Sit down.

0:06:24 > 0:06:25All right.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29So when did you last see her?

0:06:29 > 0:06:32Yesterday afternoon. She'd been swimming with school.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34When they got back, she got off t'bus with others

0:06:34 > 0:06:37and no-one's seen her since. I don't know what to think.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Does she usually walk home on her own?

0:06:39 > 0:06:42I normally go to end of t'road and wait while she comes out of school.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44But I weren't here, I were in Dewsbury shopping

0:06:44 > 0:06:46with Craig's sister, Amanda.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49I were at home. I were supposed to go in to work in the afternoon,

0:06:49 > 0:06:51but I were feeling a bit off.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54I got back about four, Craig says Shannon's not home,

0:06:54 > 0:06:56kids said they hadn't seen her after school,

0:06:56 > 0:06:59so I called the school, rang everyone I could think of.

0:06:59 > 0:07:00Has she got a mobile?

0:07:00 > 0:07:04She'd left it at home. Everyone were saying I should ring 999,

0:07:04 > 0:07:05so I did in the end.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08- And what are t'police saying? - Not a lot.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10They have had search teams out all night though.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12And been back and forth here, asking questions.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Poking around house, in and out Shannon's bedroom.

0:07:15 > 0:07:18Well, they've got to, Craig. Looking for clues of

0:07:18 > 0:07:20- where she might be. - I've been out searching, too.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Yeah, Pete and some others have been out half the night.

0:07:23 > 0:07:24I just want her found!

0:07:24 > 0:07:26And we'll find her, love.

0:07:26 > 0:07:27Don't you bloody worry.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Come here.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Thanks.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49HELICOPTER WHIRS

0:08:13 > 0:08:15They should never have closed this place down.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17- I know.- I mean, where else is the community supposed to meet?

0:08:17 > 0:08:18How can I help?

0:08:18 > 0:08:20I need you to help us get this place up and running,

0:08:20 > 0:08:22so we can get organised and find Shannon.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- We don't want to tread on t'police's toes.- Bollocks, Debbie.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27We're not just standing back and leaving it to them.

0:08:27 > 0:08:28Come on.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10I'm the uncle! Well, sort of uncle.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Fiver a feel, fella.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- You hear that, you lot? Wife's tits - fiver a go!- Shut up, Neil!

0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Karen?- Yeah?

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Hello, I'm Detective Constable Christine Freeman.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44This is Alex Grummit.

0:09:44 > 0:09:47We're going to be your family liaison officers.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Can we clear this room please?

0:09:49 > 0:09:52But we're family. We're supporting Craig.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53Yeah. And Karen.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57- And you are? - I'm Alice Meehan, Craig's mum.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59- And you? - Amanda Hyett, Craig's sister.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02- This is my husband, Neil. - All right?

0:10:02 > 0:10:05- And you're... - Craig, Shannon's step-dad.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09- Natalie Brown, I live next door but one.- Natalie's my best friend.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Yeah, we're mates.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Getting bloody lively out there.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15They keep saying they want me to go out there and say something.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Please don't talk to the press.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18But she wants to get her message out.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Like them parents of Maddie McCann. - They're always going on telly.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25We'll make sure her message gets out, but we need to do it right.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29You mustn't talk to the press until we say it's all right.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30Can I see Shannon's room?

0:10:30 > 0:10:33- You lot have already been up there. - All the same, I'd like to.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36Top of the stairs on left. Shannon shares with her sister.

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Top bunk's hers.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40I need to ask you a few questions.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42She's been answering questions since you lot first arrived.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44- I'm sick of it.- I'm sure.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47But there's a lot for us to understand.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16HELICOPTER WHIRS

0:11:47 > 0:11:49We're going out searching again, Julie.

0:11:49 > 0:11:50That's great, but let's get organised.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52We don't want people searching in the same places.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55We need street maps, a proper list of who's searching where.

0:11:55 > 0:11:56- Let's do this properly.- Right.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58Julie, council have approved emergency grant

0:11:58 > 0:12:00to keep the place open - 300 quid.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03- You're a star, Debbie. - It's only temporary.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Hey, temporary'll do. They'll soon have her found and back home safe.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16So you'd not fallen out with Shannon?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18No! I keep saying.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20But you've had problems with your son in the past?

0:12:20 > 0:12:23I don't know why people keep going on about that.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26Because he's run away, hasn't he? More than once.

0:12:26 > 0:12:28We had to send the helicopter out.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30He were just down in the fields. He'd made a den down there.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33He sometimes gets it in his head that he wants to be with his dad.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35But Shannon wouldn't do owt like that!

0:12:35 > 0:12:37I don't think she would either.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40So why's she written, "I want to live with my dad" above her bed?

0:12:40 > 0:12:41She don't mean it.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43I don't think she does either, Karen.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45She's happy here and you're a good mum.

0:12:45 > 0:12:47How does she get on with her dad?

0:12:47 > 0:12:50He's in Huddersfield. He sees her when he can.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52And how's she get on with you?

0:12:52 > 0:12:53She gets on fine with Craig.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Could you let him answer, please?

0:12:55 > 0:12:56But I'm his mum, I should know.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58All the same. Craig?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00Yeah, me and Shannon get on fine.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03I don't see point of all these questions.

0:13:03 > 0:13:05They're not getting at you, Karen, they're just trying to help.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08You see, if your eldest lad ran away because he's unhappy,

0:13:08 > 0:13:11we need to know if Shannon could have done the same.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14Shannon wouldn't run away. Someone must have took her.

0:13:17 > 0:13:19Here you are. And stay in pairs!

0:13:19 > 0:13:21- We don't want anyone else going missing, all right?- Yeah. Thank you.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25Here you are. All right, try down on that ginnel, all right?

0:13:25 > 0:13:27There you go, you lads try down that way, OK?

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Hiya, love, here's a map.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Why don't you try back at school, yeah?

0:13:32 > 0:13:34HELICOPTER WHIRS

0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Shannon!- Shannon!

0:13:56 > 0:13:59Cheers, lads. You lads try down there, all right?

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Hiya, love, here's a map. Try behind school, OK?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Hiya, love, there's a map, OK? Stay together.

0:14:06 > 0:14:07Come on.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Try down over that side there, yeah?

0:14:47 > 0:14:48Julie?

0:14:48 > 0:14:50All right, Kinchie?

0:14:50 > 0:14:51Do the police know you're doing this?

0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Going door-to-door and everything. - Well, you're police, you know.

0:14:54 > 0:14:55I mean HMET.

0:14:57 > 0:14:58What the hell's that?

0:14:58 > 0:14:59Homicide team. They're in charge.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02Homicide team? It's a missing child, Kinchie.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05- It could well be more than that. - I don't need to hear that.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08All I'm saying is I wouldn't go raising other people's hopes.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10And all I'm saying is fuck off.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12No offence, Kinchie.

0:15:12 > 0:15:13Here.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17That's him.

0:15:17 > 0:15:18Who?

0:15:18 > 0:15:20Shannon's real dad.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22He's been out all day scouring the estate.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24Hey, Julie! Look at this!

0:15:31 > 0:15:32It's Karen. Look.

0:15:34 > 0:15:36Shannon, if you're out there...

0:15:36 > 0:15:37Oh, bloody hell!

0:15:37 > 0:15:40Please, darling, come home.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41We love you so much.

0:15:41 > 0:15:46Me, your dad, brothers, your sisters...

0:15:46 > 0:15:48Everybody loves you.

0:15:50 > 0:15:55If anyone's got my daughter, my beautiful princess daughter,

0:15:55 > 0:15:57please bring her home safe.

0:15:59 > 0:16:00I need her home.

0:16:02 > 0:16:05PRESS SHOUTING

0:16:13 > 0:16:15Yeah, that's better now.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Pete, come and sort kids' tea, will you?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31- I'm just going into Karen's. - She's been on telly.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I know. I saw. Police told her not to.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35I need to speak to her.

0:16:35 > 0:16:37Pete, go see to kids!

0:16:37 > 0:16:39She did really well, I thought.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41Yeah, but police aren't going to be happy.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50Karen? Karen?

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Don't be mad with us, Natalie, please.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55I'm not, love. But you know what police said.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Yeah, but everyone were on at me to go out there

0:16:57 > 0:16:59- and say something. - And why shouldn't she?

0:16:59 > 0:17:01- Because police know best, Neil. - It's her child.

0:17:01 > 0:17:03Yeah, but she's got to work with them, not against them.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06You did well, love, anyway. I thought you come across really well.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Right, I want everybody out and I mean it this time.

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Don't send my friends away.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13All right, you can stay and help out, Natalie.

0:17:13 > 0:17:15The rest of you - out now!

0:17:28 > 0:17:29You were told, Karen.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31I'm sorry. They were all saying I should do it.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Well, they were wrong.

0:17:33 > 0:17:35She were only trying tell her side of t'story.

0:17:35 > 0:17:36Neil, don't make it worse for her.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39I've asked you to leave, haven't I?

0:17:39 > 0:17:40All right.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46It's vital that you let us control the media side of things.

0:17:46 > 0:17:47I keep saying, I'm sorry!

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Oh, Karen, don't upset yourself.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51And who are you?

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Julie Bushby.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55I'm co-ordinating the community search.

0:17:55 > 0:17:56The what?

0:17:56 > 0:17:59- We've got half the estate out looking for her.- Thanks, Julie.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03I know you're doing everything you can to find her, to bring her home.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05That's all I want.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08Believe me, Karen, that's all we're hoping for, too.

0:18:08 > 0:18:09But...

0:18:11 > 0:18:13But what?

0:18:13 > 0:18:15I do have to warn you, the more time goes on,

0:18:15 > 0:18:17the less likely it is we'll find her alive.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19- Don't say that! - I have to be honest, love.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22Bollocks. Why are you lot being so negative?

0:18:22 > 0:18:23Shannon's OK, Karen, I know she is.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25(Are you sure?)

0:18:26 > 0:18:28Could I have a word, please?

0:18:30 > 0:18:32(Sorry.)

0:18:35 > 0:18:36- NATALIE:- Come on, love.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44With respect, you can't know she's still alive.

0:18:44 > 0:18:47- I bloody can.- How?

0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Well, have they found any of her clothing?- No.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51- The towel and the swimming costume she took to t'baths?- No.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Well, if anything bad had happened to Shannon,

0:18:54 > 0:18:56they'd find things like that first. They haven't.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57Look, I don't doubt your good intentions,

0:18:57 > 0:19:00but part of my job is to prepare Karen for the worst.

0:19:00 > 0:19:02Yeah, and mine is to keep her spirits up.

0:19:02 > 0:19:05But that means if we do end up having to give her bad news,

0:19:05 > 0:19:08- it'll be all the harder for her. - There's not going to be bad news.

0:19:08 > 0:19:09We'll find her and she'll be OK.

0:19:09 > 0:19:10Now is that all?

0:19:39 > 0:19:41DOOR OPENS

0:19:48 > 0:19:50Oh, bloody hell, Petra.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53I really thought for a minute then it might have been Shannon.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55Shannon'd go back home, wouldn't she?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Not come to t'community centre.

0:19:57 > 0:19:58We don't know where she'll go.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00We just have to be ready.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10You really are sure, aren't you, she'll be OK?

0:20:15 > 0:20:16Well, she's not run away.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19When kids run away, they take pop and crisps and stuff.

0:20:19 > 0:20:21Karen says she hasn't.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23I don't believe she's been snatched from outside school.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26- Not with all people there'd be around.- Which leaves what?

0:20:26 > 0:20:30- Her going off with someone she knows?- Maybe.

0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Doesn't mean she's all right though, does it?- She has to be, Petra, or...

0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Or what?- You can't let yourself think about the alternative.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41I know.

0:20:41 > 0:20:42Too horrible to imagine, innit?

0:20:45 > 0:20:46Yeah, it is.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50We just have to keep the faith, that's all.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59- TV:- There was a sighting of Shannon Matthews on the playing fields

0:20:59 > 0:21:02behind her school, but there have been a number of reports

0:21:02 > 0:21:05that Shannon was also seen at other locations around the same time...

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Stacey's here, Mum. And she eaten all t'crisps.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Oh, and there's me worrying the house might have burnt down.

0:21:11 > 0:21:12It's amazing, in't it, mum?

0:21:12 > 0:21:16If anyone's got my daughter, my beautiful princess daughter...

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Who'd have thought Moorside would ever get on the news?

0:21:18 > 0:21:21I'd sooner we weren't on t'news for a reason like this.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24Tyson reckons they'll find her chopped up in a wheelie bin.

0:21:24 > 0:21:27Sam reckons someone's strangled her and chucked her in t'river.

0:21:27 > 0:21:30- And I reckon...- You've got a thick ear coming if you don't shut it.

0:21:30 > 0:21:31PHONE RINGS

0:21:33 > 0:21:34Hello?

0:21:35 > 0:21:37Oh, who's asking?

0:21:38 > 0:21:42- TV:- ..so we haven't ruled out the possibility of widening the search.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Er...when? Yeah.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48All right, if it'll help.

0:21:48 > 0:21:50Erm, I'll meet you down at the Community House.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53Right, bye.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57That were telly. They want me to do an interview.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01Right. Shower and change then get back down there.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03Tiffany, school. Oh, Stace, how's the bump?

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Kicking like a good 'un, Mum.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09That's what I like to hear.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19The response on the estate's been absolutely incredible.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22We've had over 150 people out searching.

0:22:22 > 0:22:27We are absolutely determined to find Shannon and bring her home safe.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Yeah.- And we won't rest till we fuckin' have.

0:22:29 > 0:22:33LAUGHTER Oh, shitcakes. I swore. Sorry.

0:22:33 > 0:22:34That all right?

0:22:36 > 0:22:37You all right?

0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Julie Bushby?- Yeah, that's me.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to call this off.

0:22:44 > 0:22:45Call what off?

0:22:45 > 0:22:47Organising your own search for Shannon.

0:22:47 > 0:22:48CROWD GROAN

0:22:48 > 0:22:50I know you mean well.

0:22:50 > 0:22:51But if and when Shannon's found,

0:22:51 > 0:22:54that location may well become a crime scene.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57Oh...you're talking about her like you know she's dead.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59I'm making no assumptions.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02But there's every possibility a very serious crime has been committed.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05And if a crime scene isn't carefully preserved

0:23:05 > 0:23:08by trained police officers, that may undermine any prosecution.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11- We're not interested in prosecuting. We just want to find Shannon!- Yeah!

0:23:11 > 0:23:15Sorry, I'm going to have to insist you leave the search to us.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17BOOING

0:23:17 > 0:23:18Guys, guys, guys, come on, wait.

0:23:18 > 0:23:23Of course, we'll still be glad to receive any information. Thank you.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26BOOING AND JEERING

0:23:26 > 0:23:30No, guys, come on, come on, we'd best do what he says, OK?

0:23:30 > 0:23:32That don't mean we're giving up. Far from it.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34Shannon doesn't just belong to Karen and her family,

0:23:34 > 0:23:36- she belongs to all of us!- Yeah!

0:23:36 > 0:23:39We'll do whatever it takes to find her and bring her home safe!

0:23:46 > 0:23:50- TV:- The harrowing 999 call made by Karen Matthews...

0:23:50 > 0:23:53So, you've currently got four children living at home with you?

0:23:53 > 0:23:55There's four living with me, yeah.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57- So where are the other two?- Three.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03- You've three other children? - Yeah, she has.

0:24:05 > 0:24:06- Is that right, Karen?- Yeah.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08- GRUMMIT:- You originally told us you had six kids.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11If you've four living here, and three elsewhere, that makes seven.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13All right, I've got seven, what's it matter?

0:24:14 > 0:24:17- So, where are the other three? - Living with their dads!

0:24:19 > 0:24:22So...tell us exactly what happened

0:24:22 > 0:24:24that morning before Shannon left for school?

0:24:24 > 0:24:26I woke the children up, called 'em down for breakfast,

0:24:26 > 0:24:28we all sat round the table to eat.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31- What table?- Kitchen table.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Then I got 'em ready for school,

0:24:33 > 0:24:37waved them off at the door and said, "Bye, darling, I love you."

0:24:38 > 0:24:42You actually used those words to Shannon, "Bye, darling, I love you"?

0:24:42 > 0:24:43Yeah.

0:24:45 > 0:24:48What you looking at me like that for?

0:24:48 > 0:24:50RING TONE: Brown Eyed Girl

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Hello?

0:24:59 > 0:25:01We're at the house again now.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Yeah, we'll report to you as soon as we're back.

0:25:07 > 0:25:08I just love that ringtone.

0:25:08 > 0:25:13You see, when you say you all sat round the table

0:25:13 > 0:25:17as a family and had breakfast, before waving Shannon off to school,

0:25:17 > 0:25:19telling her you loved her,

0:25:19 > 0:25:20it's not quite ringing true, Karen.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Why not?

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Because most people don't live like that. I certainly don't.

0:25:24 > 0:25:26Well, you're all right. You're safe.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28What do you mean?

0:25:28 > 0:25:31You not got t'social watching you.

0:25:31 > 0:25:32Nobody'd take your kids off you.

0:25:32 > 0:25:35Someone like Karen, they can, they do.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37I'm a good mum, aren't I, Natalie?

0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Yeah.- I've got... I've got that certificate.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42You are, love. I'll not have anyone say you're not.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45I love Shannon, I wouldn't see her hurt for all t'world!

0:25:45 > 0:25:48She's us princess, and I need her home!

0:25:50 > 0:25:52Go on, Craig, give her a cuddle.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54HE SIGHS

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Don't you think you've asked her enough questions?

0:26:01 > 0:26:02We're not trying to upset her.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05But all that stuff about sitting down for breakfast.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07And saying "I love you" as she waved Shannon off.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10She's only worried people'll think she's a crap mother.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13But she's got all these different kids from different dads.

0:26:13 > 0:26:15That don't mean she don't look after 'em.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17If anything, she's overprotective.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20She don't even let Shannon play out on t'road.

0:26:20 > 0:26:21She has to stop in t'garden.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25So, her domestic situation's fairly stable?

0:26:25 > 0:26:27Since she's been with Craig, yeah.

0:26:31 > 0:26:32But Karen...

0:26:35 > 0:26:37But Karen can be weak.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39She's been with loads of other fellas,

0:26:39 > 0:26:41and she can be taken advantage of.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44What was that dancing thing about when my colleague's phone rang?

0:26:44 > 0:26:46She's just immature.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49She's got Julie and the whole estate saying,

0:26:49 > 0:26:50"Cheer up, Shannon'll be fine."

0:26:50 > 0:26:53And you lot's saying, "Prepare for t'worst."

0:26:53 > 0:26:54She's in an absolute state.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58And anyway, how do any of us know

0:26:58 > 0:27:00how we'd react if we had a child go missing?

0:27:02 > 0:27:04Fair point.

0:27:04 > 0:27:05I'm a mother.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11We're trying to help, not judge.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16Course we're hopeful. We've been hopeful right from the start.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19The response of this community has been absolutely amazing.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25Some people might have been surprised by that. But we aren't.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27We know we're as good as anywhere.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31This estate may have its problems but its heart's in the right place.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34We look after our own. We always have, we always will.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38When t'chips are down, and one of us has a problem,

0:27:38 > 0:27:40we are all there to help.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42We stand shoulder to shoulder with one another.

0:28:00 > 0:28:02We will never give up hope.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05And we just want Shannon to know we're all rooting for her.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08And we're looking forward to seeing her home soon.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11Is that it? Yeah?

0:28:11 > 0:28:12There you go, not a single F word.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15Fucking brilliant or what? CHUCKLING

0:28:15 > 0:28:17Right, come on, back to work.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59- All right? - Might be if you were ever here.

0:28:59 > 0:29:00I'm only down t'road.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02I've had no dinner, no tea.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Well, where's Tiffany?- Out.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07There's nowt to stop you from making your own tea, you know.

0:29:07 > 0:29:11- There's fuck all in.- There's plenty in! And watch your language!

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Have you done your school work?

0:29:14 > 0:29:16- What school work? - Don't give me that.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19They give you stuff to do every day when you're excluded.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21- RADIO:- BBC Radio Leeds News with Clive Settle.

0:29:21 > 0:29:23And these are the headlines.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26Police say they're dropping plans to take DNA from people

0:29:26 > 0:29:29who drop litter or fail to wear a seatbelt.

0:29:29 > 0:29:33House prices continued falling for the fifth consecutive month.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36In West Yorkshire, police searching for nine-year-old Shannon Matthews

0:29:36 > 0:29:40say they're increasingly concerned that she may have been abducted,

0:29:40 > 0:29:44and their investigation's now taken on the scale of a murder inquiry...

0:29:44 > 0:29:46Bollocks! KNOCK ON DOOR

0:29:46 > 0:29:48- Julie.- Kinchie.

0:29:50 > 0:29:53Thought I'd see how you're doing, and, er...

0:29:53 > 0:29:54Yeah, we're all right.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57You can give that lad a thick ear for me, if you like.

0:29:57 > 0:29:58You been misbehaving, young man?

0:29:58 > 0:30:00No.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02Such bollocks.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04What is?

0:30:04 > 0:30:06Shannon's slipped down to third item on t'news,

0:30:06 > 0:30:08and they're just assuming it's murder now.

0:30:08 > 0:30:11Statistics show if a missing child's not found within the first...

0:30:11 > 0:30:13Shannon's not a statistic!

0:30:13 > 0:30:18Right. Kinchie's making you tea, Peter. I won't be long, love.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27I'm not eating that, it's a goose!

0:30:27 > 0:30:29It's an egg and you'll eat it.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00- What's going on? - They've moved us out, Julie.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Why?- Police are searching t'house. - Well, they've already done that.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05They said they're doing a more thorough one.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08They've took me computer. I weren't t'only one that used that computer.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10- Shut up about your computer, Craig! - But I weren't!

0:31:10 > 0:31:12Natalie's letting us stop here till we're allowed back.

0:31:12 > 0:31:14The little 'uns have gone to Craig's family,

0:31:14 > 0:31:17- but we're still going to be like sardines.- How long's this for?

0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Couple of days, they said. - Hey, look, there she is!

0:31:23 > 0:31:26- When will she be coming home? - I'm sure she'll be back soon, love.

0:31:26 > 0:31:27She will.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Callie, go up and brush your teeth.- Mum!

0:31:34 > 0:31:35Go on! Up!

0:31:39 > 0:31:41- All right, I'll be up in a minute.- Yeah.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49Karen, don't tell Callie that.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54You can't know if Shannon's coming back. No-one can.

0:31:54 > 0:31:56I believe in being honest with kids.

0:31:56 > 0:31:59She is being honest, Natalie! It's what we both think.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01She's getting really famous now, in't she?

0:32:04 > 0:32:07Shannon's on telly because she's missing. Not because she's famous!

0:32:07 > 0:32:09- You know what I mean. - Well, funny way of putting it.

0:32:09 > 0:32:11What you getting at me for, Natalie?

0:32:11 > 0:32:14- I'm not getting at you! - Yeah, you are, Natalie.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17If she said that in front of people who don't know her like we do,

0:32:17 > 0:32:19they'd think it was completely inappropriate.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22At least she's on the news again. They've barely mentioned her lately.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25Yeah, I know. Coverage is getting less and less and it's all negative.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28And they keep making out sommat bad's happened to her.

0:32:28 > 0:32:30- It's horrible.- And it's wrong.

0:32:30 > 0:32:32They've not found any evidence to show that.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35Police told us it's important not to give Karen false hope, Julie.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39We're not police. We've gotta keep faith.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41People haven't seen nowt yet.

0:32:41 > 0:32:44I'm going to start by organising a march for Shannon.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03- Dunno, if I can do this, Julie. - Course you can, hun.

0:33:03 > 0:33:05- Not been out of t'house for ages. - I know love.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07But it's been a week now,

0:33:07 > 0:33:09it's really important we show Shannon's not forgotten,

0:33:09 > 0:33:12and to have you there at t'front of march will make such a difference.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18Come on, love, be brave. Whole estate's waiting for you.

0:33:18 > 0:33:19- OK?- Yeah.

0:33:23 > 0:33:24- Are you ready?- Yeah.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29APPLAUSE

0:33:29 > 0:33:32Come on, Karen. Come on, lass.

0:33:32 > 0:33:33All right?

0:33:34 > 0:33:35Come on, love.

0:33:37 > 0:33:39Come on, make way for her, guys, come on.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42Look, she's doing a drawing of a dinosaur.

0:33:42 > 0:33:46Why don't you do the same as her? Find a dinosaur.

0:33:46 > 0:33:48Why don't you come with us?

0:33:48 > 0:33:50Someone's got to look after this lot. Got half kids

0:33:50 > 0:33:53- off t'estate here.- We could have taken 'em. Some are.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55- Not little 'uns, we couldn't. - Callie's old enough.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59- What?- I want to go.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02No. Right, just stay there.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05Sorry, darling.

0:34:05 > 0:34:06- Get in there.- What?

0:34:09 > 0:34:11I don't want Callie going on marches.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13But it's a massive day for the estate.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15Yeah, massive excuse for a piss-up.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18- Oh...- No, Shannon's Callie's friend and she's worried about her.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20I don't think it's appropriate.

0:34:20 > 0:34:24Stop being so maungy! We're just showing solidarity wi' Karen!

0:34:32 > 0:34:34You all right?

0:34:37 > 0:34:40APPLAUSE Good turnout.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47Are you pleased with the turnout, Julie?

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Only what I expected, love.

0:34:49 > 0:34:53Right, everybody, let's form up and march for Shannon!

0:34:53 > 0:34:56Hi, I'm Kathy. I'm the vicar at St John's.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58I just wanted to see if there's anything I could do.

0:34:58 > 0:35:01Well, you'll not find many bible-bashers on this estate.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03I understand, but I'd love to join the march.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05Great. More the merrier.

0:35:06 > 0:35:09Oi, oi! Back, back, back, back.

0:37:07 > 0:37:11Our message to the world is, we won't give up till Shannon's found.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13Our message to Shannon is,

0:37:13 > 0:37:16we're looking forward to you being back home safe, love.

0:37:19 > 0:37:23There's a message attached to every one of these balloons that says so.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26So here's hoping one of 'em will reach you.

0:37:26 > 0:37:27Ready, Sheryl?

0:37:27 > 0:37:29Ready, Julie.

0:37:29 > 0:37:30OK, let 'em go.

0:37:35 > 0:37:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:38:05 > 0:38:08Lovely touch, them balloons, Julie. Absolute class.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44DOOR OPENS

0:38:50 > 0:38:52- Ready?- Er...yeah.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56But it's hard.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58It were easier when I did it t'first time.

0:38:58 > 0:39:02I've sort of...got used to her not being around.

0:39:04 > 0:39:05I understand.

0:39:07 > 0:39:09Anyway, I've got my cuddly bear.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12Like...like you wanted.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14Like Maddie's mum holds her Cuddle Cat.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Is it Shannon's favourite?

0:39:20 > 0:39:21Probably.

0:39:28 > 0:39:30Come on, love.

0:39:52 > 0:39:55Well, it's hard to sleep, really, it's just...

0:39:57 > 0:40:00The house doesn't feel t'same without her not being there, really.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02It just feels empty.

0:40:03 > 0:40:06Whoever's got Shannon, please, let her go.

0:40:06 > 0:40:10Her family's missing her, all her friends are missing her at school.

0:40:11 > 0:40:14- MAN:- Have you any idea who may have her?

0:40:14 > 0:40:17I think that someone out there who knows Shannon...

0:40:19 > 0:40:21..probably knows me, as well.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24I just want her home safe, really.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29It makes me think now that I can't trust the people

0:40:29 > 0:40:30who's really close to me any more.

0:40:32 > 0:40:33I just can't trust 'em.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36Can you recall the last words you and Shannon exchanged?

0:40:36 > 0:40:39"Bye, Mum. Love you."

0:40:42 > 0:40:43SHE SOBS

0:41:22 > 0:41:24they're offering a reward of 20 grand for her now.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27They're offering two and a half million for Maddie McCann.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30- Is it cos they're posher than us?- It's not a contest. On!

0:41:33 > 0:41:35And Shannon's got all of us fighting for her, hasn't she?

0:41:35 > 0:41:39Anyway, I'd pay £20,000 to get you kidnapped. On, I said!

0:41:47 > 0:41:49CHILDREN'S CHATTER

0:41:53 > 0:41:54Could go on a while, Julie said.

0:41:54 > 0:41:56Might turn into a bit of a party.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58So, shall I put your kids to sleep over here with mine tonight?

0:41:58 > 0:42:00Yeah, if you like.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02It's not a case of what I like, Karen,

0:42:02 > 0:42:03It's what you want. They're your kids.

0:42:03 > 0:42:05There's no need to get narky with her, Natalie.

0:42:05 > 0:42:08- Julie don't get narky with me. - What's Julie got to do with it?

0:42:08 > 0:42:10- I thought you didn't mind looking after them?- I don't!

0:42:10 > 0:42:13- Karen's been looking forward to tonight.- Fine.

0:42:13 > 0:42:16I just want her to decide where her kids are sleeping.

0:42:16 > 0:42:17I mean...

0:42:18 > 0:42:21You've already had one child go missing.

0:42:21 > 0:42:23Why are you so casual about it?

0:42:23 > 0:42:25Will you stop being so horrible to me?

0:42:25 > 0:42:27Come on, Craig.

0:42:35 > 0:42:37# He's got the whole world

0:42:37 > 0:42:39# In his hands

0:42:39 > 0:42:43# He's got the whole wide world in his hands

0:42:43 > 0:42:46# He's got the whole world in his hands

0:42:46 > 0:42:50# He's got the whole world in his hands

0:42:50 > 0:42:53# He's got Shannon and her family

0:42:53 > 0:42:54# In his hands

0:42:54 > 0:42:58# He's got Shannon and her family in his hands

0:42:58 > 0:43:01# He's got Shannon and her family in his hands

0:43:01 > 0:43:05# He's got the whole world in his hands

0:43:05 > 0:43:07# He's got Shannon and her family...#

0:43:26 > 0:43:28You all right, sweetheart?

0:43:30 > 0:43:32Hiya.

0:43:32 > 0:43:35Oh. Thanks for bringing t'candles.

0:43:35 > 0:43:37Only too happy. We have loads.

0:43:37 > 0:43:40Candles play a really important part in Christian ritual.

0:43:40 > 0:43:43- That's not why I wanted them. - I gather you're not a believer.

0:43:43 > 0:43:45It's not like I don't have faith.

0:43:45 > 0:43:49- In what?- People. These people.

0:43:49 > 0:43:51And that Shannon will be found.

0:43:51 > 0:43:53But you don't do God?

0:43:53 > 0:43:54Well, I might if God did children.

0:43:54 > 0:43:56How do you mean?

0:43:56 > 0:43:59If there was a God, why would he let children suffer?

0:43:59 > 0:44:01- That's a very big question.- I know.

0:44:01 > 0:44:05And when I asked God, all I got was a big fat silence.

0:44:05 > 0:44:07When did you ask God that, Julie?

0:44:07 > 0:44:10Er, long story. Another time.

0:44:17 > 0:44:20- Shitting hell!- What's up?

0:44:20 > 0:44:22My editor's just called to tell me

0:44:22 > 0:44:24one of the Sundays is running a story.

0:44:24 > 0:44:26That's great. There hasn't been owt all week.

0:44:26 > 0:44:28No, it's not the kind of publicity you'd want.

0:44:28 > 0:44:29It's not about Shannon being missing.

0:44:29 > 0:44:32They're running an interview with Karen's parents tomorrow.

0:44:32 > 0:44:35- And what have they said?- Whatever it is, it won't be very nice.

0:44:35 > 0:44:37They don't like me and they hate Craig.

0:44:37 > 0:44:39What's Craig ever done to your parents, Karen?

0:44:39 > 0:44:40He's worked wonders for you.

0:44:40 > 0:44:42And he's treated them kids of yours like they were his own.

0:44:42 > 0:44:44TEXT ALERT

0:44:50 > 0:44:52Here you are, Karen, love, let's go for a drink.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57- You all right, love?- Yeah.

0:44:58 > 0:45:00- What's up?- It's Craig.

0:45:00 > 0:45:02- Well, Craig were here. - He's gone home.

0:45:05 > 0:45:08- He's threatening to take an overdose.- What?!

0:45:08 > 0:45:10He were in a sulk.

0:45:10 > 0:45:14He says I haven't been spending enough time with him.

0:45:14 > 0:45:16They'll blame me if he does owt stupid.

0:45:16 > 0:45:18Listen, don't say anything to them.

0:45:19 > 0:45:22- I'll sort him out, all right? - Thanks, Julie.

0:45:23 > 0:45:25- You OK?- Yeah, I'm all right. Thanks a lot.

0:45:25 > 0:45:27(Thanks.)

0:45:51 > 0:45:53I've done it.

0:45:55 > 0:45:57I were that fed up, Julie.

0:46:00 > 0:46:03- Calpol?!- It's all there were.

0:46:06 > 0:46:07Bloody hell, Julie, what were that for?!

0:46:07 > 0:46:09This is no time for playing games!

0:46:09 > 0:46:11I don't know if Karen wants to be with me no more.

0:46:11 > 0:46:12- What do you mean? - She won't even cuddle me.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14She's got a hell of a lot on her mind, hasn't she?

0:46:14 > 0:46:17She's been like it for a while, even before Shannon went missing.

0:46:17 > 0:46:19This is no time for marriage fucking guidance, Craig!

0:46:19 > 0:46:21- It's not my fault Shannon's gone missing!- Jesus, Craig!

0:46:23 > 0:46:25- What'll happen to me?- You'll live!

0:46:27 > 0:46:29And you need to stop hiding behind your mum and sister

0:46:29 > 0:46:31and stand by Karen!

0:46:34 > 0:46:35DOOR SLAMS SHUT

0:46:53 > 0:46:54This is icing on t'cake, this is.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56They're searching the whole road.

0:46:56 > 0:47:00I know. Made a right mess of ours. Took up floorboards and all sorts.

0:47:00 > 0:47:03- What for?- They said one of the dogs had got a scent of death.

0:47:03 > 0:47:04Had an' all, it were a dead mouse.

0:47:04 > 0:47:06Police have lost t'plot.

0:47:06 > 0:47:09Aye. Press have lost interest, an' all.

0:47:09 > 0:47:10Not seen a camera up here in days.

0:47:11 > 0:47:13Your turn now, is it?

0:47:13 > 0:47:16You should've seen the state of mine after they'd finished.

0:47:16 > 0:47:17Why are they searching our houses?

0:47:17 > 0:47:20Well, cos they think someone on the estate knows summat.

0:47:20 > 0:47:22And that Karen knows more than she's saying.

0:47:22 > 0:47:24Don't blame it on bloody Karen.

0:47:24 > 0:47:26I am only saying it how I see it, Julie.

0:47:26 > 0:47:28I see more of her than you.

0:47:28 > 0:47:31And when they moved her into our house, I saw her 24/7.

0:47:33 > 0:47:36- I'm not happy about some of her behaviour.- Such as?

0:47:36 > 0:47:38Well, times she's been flippant.

0:47:38 > 0:47:41She's been flippant with me, Natalie, doesn't mean she's lying.

0:47:41 > 0:47:42Yeah, well, I used to think that.

0:47:42 > 0:47:45- Karen's not clever enough to have made all this up!- Either that...

0:47:47 > 0:47:50..or you're leaning over too far to make excuses for her.

0:47:51 > 0:47:53Come on, Callie.

0:47:54 > 0:47:56Another march for Shannon tonight!

0:47:56 > 0:47:57Yeah, I'll be there.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22- FREEMAN:- Sorry, I had no signal. What's happened?

0:48:22 > 0:48:24Just been speaking to one of the lads.

0:48:24 > 0:48:27They've discovered Craig's got an uncle nobody's mentioned before.

0:48:27 > 0:48:30- Oh.- Just added him to the family tree.

0:48:30 > 0:48:31Goes by the name of Michael Donovan,

0:48:31 > 0:48:34though his real name's Paul Drake.

0:48:34 > 0:48:37- How come nobody mentioned him? - Quite.

0:48:37 > 0:48:39Apparently, he's not been in touch with any of the family

0:48:39 > 0:48:42- since she disappeared. - It's been all over the news.

0:48:42 > 0:48:44You'd have thought they'd have been in constant touch

0:48:44 > 0:48:46- to find out what's happening. - Exactly.

0:48:46 > 0:48:48Anyway, they've made further inquiries about this Donovan.

0:48:48 > 0:48:52He has a daughter who was put into the care of foster parents.

0:48:52 > 0:48:55Seems he was accused of abducting her from outside her school,

0:48:55 > 0:48:57but the case was dropped.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00Interesting. Where's he live?

0:49:00 > 0:49:03About a mile from Shannon. Lidgate Gardens, Batley Carr.

0:49:03 > 0:49:05They're sending someone round there.

0:49:10 > 0:49:12Come on, you've had enough sweets for today, you.

0:49:14 > 0:49:17TEXT ALERT Hang on.

0:49:25 > 0:49:27SHE GASPS

0:49:34 > 0:49:36Oh!

0:49:36 > 0:49:38Shit! Hang on a sec.

0:49:38 > 0:49:40SHE BREATHES HARD

0:49:43 > 0:49:44Oh, God!

0:49:50 > 0:49:52Karen? It's Julie.

0:49:54 > 0:49:56Have you heard owt?
