On the 17th of May 2001, 17-year-old Alissa Turney went missing, on the last day of school. At first, she was considered a runaway, but as time passed, the police realised that this was now a murder inquiry.

After a killer serving a life sentence gave a false confession, investigators looked more closely at Alissa's home life. And that's when the case took a different direction....

This is REAL.

Home is meant to be the safest place—but for some, it becomes the most dangerous.

In this episode, we uncover the hidden world of domestic drugging and abuse within relationships. An investigation by CNN revealed that one chatroom with this horrifying abuse as it's subject, had over 62 million views in just one month.

This is REAL.

When Naomi Hunte was found murdered in her own home, the police had a prime suspect. Naomi had called the police four times, on a man called Carl Cooper, she told them that he had been stalking her and subjecting her to abuse, but nothing was done.

The police found a knife with Naomi's blood on it in Carl's home, CCTV showed him in the area just before he died, as well as mobile phone data that shows they spoke on the phone on the night she was killed. But still.... he was bailed and back out on the streets after the police said they didn't have enough evidence to charge him.

Carl was free to date again... and he targeted a vulnerable woman called Fiona Holm. Fiona was never told that Carl was on bail for suspected murder, despite calling the police after he attacked her. And soon, the police would be investigating a double murder.
