Why do some missing persons cases get more attention than others – more newspaper inches and police man hours? In this episode we tell the story of Lana Purcell - a young mum who vanished from central London ten years ago. As police renew their interest in her case with a new £20,000 reward, we follow them into dark territories of depression and drugs in the hope of discovering what happened to Lana.
There is always hope, and you could be the person that makes the difference.
