00:00To prosecute the offenders, these are their stories.
00:08Don't you just push the button and then you're off?
00:10I'm telling you, Josh's dad has one like this.
00:12You need the bloody fob to start it.
00:16Well, it's not in there.
00:18I'll push it again.
00:20Like that's going to work.
00:21You've got a better idea.
00:24Can we get a registration check on a vehicle, please?
00:27You the owner of this vehicle?
00:29Yes.
00:30No.
00:32It's my father's.
00:34Do you mind stepping out of the vehicle for me?
00:36You two.
00:37Can you confirm the vehicle owner?
00:41Go on.
00:42Vehicle is registered to a Charlotte Lee.
00:46That's your dad's name, is it?
00:50No.
00:51Didn't think so.
00:54Didn't do anything wrong.
00:56We were just looking after it for her.
00:57She went to get some petrol.
01:01Leaving her purse behind.
01:02Charlotte Lee.
01:0840.
01:08DVLA gave her an address in Richmond.
01:11Spoke to the husband.
01:13Bit frantic.
01:14Says he's got no idea where she is.
01:17Never gone missing before.
01:19What about those two?
01:20I don't reckon they found it unlocked and tried to start it.
01:24It's a keyless ignition.
01:25The fob's got to be in the car.
01:27Yeah.
01:29And all the time it was sitting in a purse, no more than two feet away.
01:33Why don't we check either end of the bridge, CCCV, to see if she went for a walk with anyone.
01:39It's a recovery vehicle on route, out of the bridge, CCCV, to see if she went for a walk with anyone.
01:42Or...
01:42Or what?
01:45Well, mate, look.
01:47It's a cold night.
01:48My coat is still in the car.
01:50She's dropped her purse there.
02:00Maybe she went for a dip.
02:01Maybe she went for a dip.
02:31Someone must have seen her.
02:55You got people looking for her, right?
02:57Yeah, we have, but there's no sightings yet.
02:59When did you last see your wife?
03:02This morning, before I went to work.
03:05And you didn't see her at all this evening?
03:07No.
03:09I went for a pint after I left sight.
03:12What do you do?
03:13I'm a painter, decorator.
03:15What time did you get home from the pub?
03:18It'd be after midnight, I'd say.
03:21You didn't think it was strange that your wife wasn't here when you got home?
03:26She works late to the odd time, just for it she was still at the office.
03:30Where's that?
03:32Over in Clapham.
03:34Charlie's a property developer.
03:35She throws work my way, doing the places up.
03:42Sean, was everything all right at work?
03:46No money worries, any problems?
03:49Yeah, fine.
03:51She wasn't anxious or depressed?
03:53You don't think...
04:00You don't think she killed herself?
04:06No.
04:07She wouldn't.
04:10Listen, mate.
04:11Has anything like this ever happened before?
04:14Anything?
04:15Anything abnormal?
04:16There was once, before my time, when she was still with Holly's dad.
04:33She took an overdose.
04:37When was that?
04:41That was years ago.
04:43She's fine now.
04:46I was, um, at a concert at school.
04:52And what time did you get back home?
04:54Um, I think it was about half nine.
04:59And was your mum here?
05:04Where is mum?
05:06Well, that's what we're trying to find out, Holly.
05:08Well, I could help, I could go out looking for her.
05:11I think your mum would want you here when she got back home, don't you?
05:16Yeah.
05:19Did your mum mention to you about going out or maybe going to meet someone?
05:26No.
05:27No, no, no, nothing.
05:28I...
05:28I...
05:29I...
05:30I don't know.
05:32What's happened to you?
05:33I'm...
05:34Mummy's gonna come back, isn't she?
05:36Okay.
05:36Well, I...
05:37That's enough.
05:41It's okay.
05:43We've had patrols in Thames out all night looking for her.
05:47Contacting the hospitals, nothing yet.
05:49No note?
05:50Well, no.
05:51Maybe she wasn't planning on leaving.
05:54She's a property developer.
05:55There's plenty of money involved.
05:57Don't tell me we're dealing with a kidnapping.
05:59Well, there's no evidence of that.
06:01We've had no card activity since yesterday morning and no ransom notes.
06:05That we know of.
06:06I mean, it could be that the husband didn't want to tell us.
06:09She's attempted suicide once before, right?
06:11Yeah.
06:11Let me find her car abandoned on Abel Bridge.
06:14Any joy from the CCTV?
06:16No.
06:16There's no cameras on the bridge.
06:18Oh, that's brilliant.
06:19Well, look, why don't we just ask around her close friends, eh?
06:22See what we can find out about Charlotte Lee.
06:30I saw Charlotte last week.
06:33She was planning a trip to France in the summer.
06:36She already booked the house.
06:38She wasn't planning on killing herself.
06:41A couple of years ago, she took an overdose.
06:46Charlotte was on a course of painkillers.
06:48She was under a lot of stress.
06:50She double-dosed by accident.
06:56Jess?
07:01Hello, darling.
07:02Hi.
07:03How was school?
07:04Uh, fine.
07:06Darling, these are the police.
07:08Hello.
07:09Hi.
07:10Did you get my text about Charlotte?
07:13Yeah.
07:14Everyone was talking about it.
07:16Have you spoken to her?
07:19No, she wasn't in.
07:24Can I go?
07:24I've got a ton of revision.
07:27Yeah, of course.
07:28Good.
07:29Did Charlotte mention anything?
07:31Any problems lately?
07:34You've spoken to her ex?
07:36No.
07:37No, we haven't.
07:38Richard McGrath.
07:39Richard McGrath.
07:41To say he's a drunken, violent pig would be unfair to pigs.
07:45He hit her?
07:46That's why she was on the painkillers.
07:50That bastard fractured her jaw.
07:53It was only for Holly's sake that she finally had the courage to leave him.
07:56Did she know that he was violent?
07:59Yeah.
08:00She knew.
08:01And does Holly still see her father?
08:03She started seeing him without telling Charlotte.
08:07Had to pick her up from there once.
08:09Where was that?
08:11He's got a flat in Battersea.
08:13You know, near the bridge?
08:14When was the last time you saw your ex-wife, Mr. McGrath?
08:21Last weekend.
08:23I'd been a good boy, and she'd granted me permission to see my own daughter for an hour.
08:29Supervised.
08:31Don't exactly sound happy about that situation.
08:34Do you have kids?
08:35Yes, I do.
08:37How would you feel?
08:38Happy?
08:38And you haven't seen or spoken to your ex-wife since?
08:45We spoke last night.
08:47Holly wasn't answering her phone, so she called me in a panic, as usual, accusing me, assuming she was here.
08:54Was she?
08:55No.
08:56She said she was at a school concert, and I believed her.
08:59What time did you receive that call?
09:038.27.
09:05And where were you the rest of the night?
09:08Cadwick Airport.
09:11Cad picked me up at 9.
09:12I've got a job on site in Edinburgh.
09:14I had to meet the contractor, first thing.
09:16And what is it you do for a living?
09:18You paint her and decorate her as well?
09:20No, I'm an architect.
09:23That's how Charlotte and I met.
09:24She bought the properties, I did the schemes.
09:27Until we split up, and then she turfed me out.
09:32He was pretty useless, even when he worked here, to be honest.
09:35And since then?
09:38Complete and utter nightmare.
09:41How so?
09:42Always barging in here unannounced.
09:45Please.
09:46I begged her to get a restraining order.
09:51She was always too afraid of his reaction, though.
09:54Has he been here recently?
09:56Last week?
09:58Charlotte had been trying to help him seek treatment as a condition of access to Holly.
10:03The cleaner he got, the more he could see her.
10:08Look, I hope I'm wrong.
10:11But it really wouldn't surprise me if he had something to do with this.
10:15Especially since the arrest.
10:17The arrest?
10:18He was arrested for assault?
10:23Like, just a few weeks ago?
10:28Aren't you guys supposed to know stuff like that already?
10:32Yes.
10:33We are.
10:35Please, hurry, please.
10:36It's okay, Charlotte.
10:38The unit's been dispatched and it's on its way to you.
10:40It'll be with you in five minutes.
10:42Just stay with me.
10:43Give me the phone.
10:44I did, no!
10:45Charlotte.
10:47And that's where it ends.
10:51Thankfully.
10:52So, look, at least we've got it now, though, eh?
10:56Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
10:57Human error won't happen again.
10:59Don't worry, Ange.
11:00It's all good things.
11:00She refused to make a statement.
11:02Yeah, a fight of making him worse, apparently.
11:06Right, Ange.
11:07What were McGrath's movements the night Charlotte Lee disappeared, please?
11:11She called him at 8.27pm.
11:15Called Astage for eight minutes.
11:17Okay.
11:17Then a car picked him up for the airport at nine.
11:20And we have him on a flight to Edinburgh that evening.
11:23Okay, well, that's enough time.
11:25For what?
11:25Well, she called him looking for their daughter.
11:28She gets there, he's drunk, they argue.
11:30He hits her too hard.
11:32Dumps her body.
11:33Makes it look like suicide.
11:35All within 25 minutes, lads.
11:36That is too tight.
11:37Just because he's got a drink problem waste does not make him a murderer.
11:41No, no, I agree with that, but come on, you heard what I just heard.
11:44It's worth checking.
11:45Anyway, it doesn't matter.
11:46We haven't got a body.
11:48We have now.
11:49I'm getting too old for this.
11:54Come on.
11:55It's better than me stacking doors all the time.
11:58It's like the old days, eh, Ronnie?
11:59Come on, mate.
12:00Well, Ange was right about something.
12:14We've definitely got ourselves a body.
12:18Cause of death, acute intracerebral hemorrhage,
12:23compound fracture of the occipital bone.
12:27It's a whack on the back of the head to me and you.
12:29Chomping off the bridge.
12:31Unlikely.
12:32If she'd hit her head on the way down,
12:35given the speed of the impact,
12:37I wouldn't expect there to be much skull left.
12:40Nice.
12:41Mm.
12:42I've examined the lungs.
12:44There's no distension.
12:46And the airways are clear.
12:48Meaning?
12:49She didn't drown.
12:51She was dead before she hit the water.
12:52I've told you.
12:57She was screaming at me down the phone,
12:59accusing me of having Holly there without her permission.
13:03Or her usual paranoid bullshit.
13:05So is that why you assaulted her?
13:09Early this month?
13:10She virtually had me pissing in a cup before I could see my own daughter.
13:14I snapped a K-O.
13:18I lost my temper.
13:20Did you lose your temper the other night?
13:23You know, when she came round.
13:25Very funny.
13:27She never came round.
13:28She wouldn't have been welcome if she did.
13:30She hasn't ever set foot inside my place,
13:35but you know that already, don't you?
13:37Forensics have been all over it.
13:39She's taken away your job, your home,
13:44your daughter, basically your whole life.
13:46So, Mr. McGrath, you must be pretty bitter, I guess.
13:53Yeah, of course I'm bitter.
13:57So are plenty of divorced fathers.
14:00Well, you can see how this looks.
14:02You have a drink problem that's completely out of control,
14:05a history of violence.
14:07With your wife gone,
14:09you would have sole custody of your daughter.
14:13Yeah.
14:16A daughter whose mother's dead,
14:18how's that for a parenting strategy?
14:23We pulled the body out over there.
14:26It's on the map, that's Hammersmith Bridge.
14:28And you think she went in at Albert Bridge.
14:32Well, that's where her car was found, yeah.
14:34It'd be unusual for a body to travel upstream at that time.
14:38But not impossible?
14:39Well, no.
14:40Most likely, she was dumped to the west.
14:44Cue Richmond, maybe.
14:47And who do we know who lives in Richmond?
14:50Yeah.
14:51Sean, Holly and Charlotte.
14:53You know what, Sam?
14:54Wes might not like it, but I think I'm right.
14:57No way would McGrath have enough time
14:59to kill Charlotte Lee at his place in Battersea,
15:03then drive the body in her car over to Richmond,
15:05dump the car at the Albert Bridge,
15:07get back to his place in Battersea
15:08to pick up a cab for nine o'clock
15:10to get him to the airport.
15:11Not within half an hour, no.
15:13Yeah, Charlotte Lee went into the river
15:15two minutes from her own home.
15:18So, who helped her off that bridge?
15:20You say you were at a school concert
15:25and did your mum drop you off there?
15:28No, Kim drove me.
15:30Kim?
15:31My nanny.
15:33Why?
15:34You have a nanny?
15:35Charlotte liked her to be here after school,
15:38so Holly wasn't alone.
15:40So, did Kim pick you up and bring you back?
15:42No, I...
15:43I wasn't feeling well, so I left early.
15:47I got the bus back.
15:48So, you didn't phone your mum to be picked up, then?
15:53What about your dad?
15:54Did you speak to him?
15:56No.
15:57Or what about your stepfather, Sean?
15:58No, I didn't speak to anyone.
16:02Do we have to do this now?
16:04I know this is difficult.
16:05It's just that Sean told us
16:08that when he got home
16:09at around midnight,
16:12your mum wasn't here.
16:15So, you have to understand,
16:16as far as we're concerned,
16:17you were probably the last person
16:19to see your mum alive.
16:28Holly?
16:33I didn't actually see her.
16:35I'm sorry, I don't follow you.
16:38I didn't see her.
16:40What, she wasn't here?
16:42I don't know.
16:43The lights were on.
16:44I thought she was.
16:45So, when you came in,
16:46you didn't call out to her hello
16:48or pop your head in the room
16:49and see who she was about?
16:53And why didn't you do that?
16:54Was that because of your dad?
16:55We'd had this massive fight
17:03before I went out.
17:04I couldn't cope with part two
17:07when I got back.
17:10She said she hated him,
17:11so I...
17:15I said I wish she was dead.
17:19Why did I say that?
17:21How long have you been
17:26with the family, Kim?
17:27About three years.
17:29It was just as Richard and Charlotte
17:30were breaking up.
17:32Got pretty ugly at times.
17:34What about the new husband, Sean?
17:36Any ugly moments with him recently?
17:39Well, just like any other couple,
17:41you know?
17:42Nothing major,
17:43but they argued sometimes, yeah.
17:46What about?
17:48I'm not sure whether I should say this.
17:50It feels a bit wrong, but...
17:54Charlotte could be quite hard work.
17:56She treated him a bit like an employee.
17:59Do you know what I mean?
18:00Yeah, yeah.
18:01She even gave him an allowance.
18:03I honestly don't know
18:04what he was doing with her.
18:06He could have done so much better.
18:07Yeah.
18:09Well,
18:11Kim, the night Charlotte was killed,
18:14Holly said that you
18:15dropped her at the school concert.
18:18That's right?
18:18Yeah, that's right.
18:19Yeah.
18:20But you didn't stay, no?
18:22No.
18:23Holly was getting a lift back
18:25with her friend, Jess.
18:26Charlotte said I could go home.
18:29Well, Sean said that when he got back,
18:31Holly was on her own.
18:33Considering how protective Charlotte is,
18:35seems a bit odd, don't you think?
18:37It's kind of weird, yeah.
18:39Charlotte would never leave her at home alone.
18:42But if Sean said that's what happened,
18:43then it must be.
18:46Look, I really have to go.
18:47I'm already late.
18:49OK, well, thanks for your help.
18:54Looks like the pretty nanny's got a crush
18:57on the handsome husband.
18:59Yeah.
19:01Looks like catnip as well, isn't he?
19:03I wonder what his alibi is like.
19:04What do you reckon?
19:05Well, before he went to the pub,
19:07he said he was working overtime
19:08with, uh...
19:09Eddie Markham.
19:12Yeah, I don't want no trouble, look.
19:15Uh, me uncle Sean's a good fella.
19:18Has me crash here
19:19till I find my own place.
19:21This is Sean's flat?
19:23It is, yeah.
19:24He's letting me stay here
19:25for nothing as well.
19:27That's decent of him.
19:28Yeah.
19:32Does Sean pop by often?
19:34He keeps his paint and stuff here
19:37out in the yard.
19:39Does he, uh...
19:41Does he keep anything else here?
19:43Or...
19:45He's yours.
19:46Oh, man.
19:48That's nothing to do with me at all.
19:50All right.
19:51So what's the story, Eddie?
19:52You meet a lot of bored housewives
19:54in this trade, do you?
19:55Not me.
19:56But Sean takes advantage.
20:01Oh, come on, lads.
20:04All right, he's my uncle, yeah?
20:06He's doing me a favour here.
20:08Well, we could always continue
20:09this conversation down the station.
20:11We'll even ring your boss
20:12telling you're gonna be late.
20:14No, okay, all right.
20:18That's nothing bad, like...
20:19But, yeah, sometimes...
20:24Sean gives me the nod, and...
20:26I have to make myself scarce,
20:28you get me?
20:29Who says romance is dead, eh?
20:32Who's the latest?
20:33Well, I don't know her name.
20:35Last week, I seen this lass
20:37heading in here when I was pulling up.
20:39What'd she look like?
20:41I don't know.
20:43That cute.
20:45Long, brown hair.
20:48Quite young.
20:49Uh, Sean said you were working
20:51all evening Tuesday together.
20:52Is that right?
20:53Yeah, we were meant to be,
20:54but...
20:55after a bit,
20:57Sean got a call.
21:00Said he had to go.
21:02Did he say where?
21:04No.
21:05Just...
21:06Just said it was personal.
21:11Yeah, mate.
21:12Lovely.
21:13Cheers.
21:15Sean Hart told us
21:16he went to the pub after work, right?
21:18Yeah, uh...
21:19Quinn's.
21:20Well, he lied about working late,
21:22so why don't we see if he lied to us
21:24about going to the pub and all?
21:27Sean's a regular here.
21:29So he was definitely in here that night?
21:32Came in just before the bell.
21:35How did he see him?
21:36All right, I suppose.
21:38Sat at the bar,
21:39had a couple of whiskies.
21:41Maybe he was hiding from the wife,
21:42you know?
21:43Didn't ask.
21:44What time did he leave?
21:46About midnight, I'd say.
21:48I was locked up by then.
21:50I let him out the back.
21:52He was parked out there.
21:53Said he had some stuff for the bins.
21:56What stuff?
21:57From work, I imagine.
22:00Would you mind if we take a look?
22:01Help yourself.
22:02So?
22:03But the bins were empty this morning.
22:09Whatever it was,
22:10it is now long gone.
22:12It's a landfill site in Essex.
22:14You know what I wish, Ron?
22:15What?
22:15I wish I had the resources
22:17to go searching landfill,
22:19but...
22:20Don't sell me.
22:21Your hands are tied.
22:22Yeah, welcome to my world.
22:24I've already got the ex-husband
22:26making an official complaint.
22:27I don't need the current one
22:29doing the same thing.
22:30Oh, we could have a potential lead here
22:32with this husband.
22:33Sam, with respect,
22:34what you've got is
22:35some guy who may or may not
22:38have put something in a bin.
22:39It's not enough.
22:40Sorry.
22:45Forensics room from the Lee house.
22:49Someone had a real goal
22:50at cleaning up here,
22:52but we found a faint patch of blood
22:54on the rug near the kitchen.
22:56Again, here,
22:58an attempted clean-up,
22:59but we found traces of blood protein
23:02all round the kitchen area
23:03on the grouting,
23:05on the base of the tap
23:06and in the trap of the sink.
23:08Recent?
23:09Difficult to see exactly,
23:11but we know who it belongs to.
23:13Charlotte Lee?
23:15Yes.
23:16Right.
23:18Well, let's see if her husband
23:19can explain what it's doing there.
23:22I may have played around,
23:24but he did not kill my wife.
23:26That's pure madness,
23:28and you know it.
23:29Otherwise, he'd have arrested me already.
23:31What did you dump
23:32in the bins
23:34outside the pub?
23:35Just some old dust sheets.
23:37I cleared it with Jed.
23:38Are you getting me for fly-tipping now?
23:39We know you lied about working late.
23:41Your nephew said you left him to it,
23:43so where'd you go?
23:44I was on another job,
23:51a bit of private work.
23:53I didn't want the contractor
23:54taking his cut.
23:56Look, I tried to pull a fast one there.
23:58I'll hold my hands up to that.
24:00I didn't tell Eddie,
24:01God bless him,
24:02because
24:02he'd only let it slip.
24:04You've seen what he's like.
24:05We have.
24:06He likes to talk.
24:08He told us about the girl he saw
24:09going into your flat last week.
24:11Yeah.
24:14Was that a bit extra
24:15on the side, too?
24:25What's Holly?
24:29Something you need to know
24:30about that girl.
24:33Really?
24:33What's that?
24:36She's made life
24:37very difficult.
24:42Didn't want her to come to this.
24:49She's obsessed with me.
24:53The poor girl reckons
24:54she's in love.
24:56You still haven't found out
24:57who killed Mum?
24:59He's still out there.
25:00It's okay, Holly.
25:01No one's going to hurt you.
25:03We're getting closer.
25:03Is that why you're
25:05talking to Sean?
25:05Do you think he's got
25:07something to do with it?
25:09Sean lied to us.
25:11Sean was lying to your mother.
25:13He was, uh...
25:14He was cheating on her.
25:17Two-faced bastard.
25:19Dad, don't, please.
25:23Holly, did...
25:25Sean ever threaten you at all?
25:28What is it, Holly?
25:40Are you scared of him?
25:45Holly?
25:48You said that you'd
25:50left the school concert
25:52early
25:53and then went straight home.
25:55Is that right?
25:56Yeah.
25:56Yeah, yeah, I went, um...
25:59I went home to get changed
26:01out of my uniform.
26:03Then what happened?
26:04Well, I...
26:05didn't want to stay at home
26:08and...
26:09went round to yours
26:10but you weren't there.
26:12Let myself in.
26:14Sorry.
26:14It's all right.
26:16You know you're always welcome.
26:20Why didn't you call me?
26:21I...
26:21Holly, did anyone else
26:29see you at your dad's house?
26:31I don't think so.
26:32I just watched
26:34she leave for a few hours.
26:36And why didn't you
26:37want to go back
26:37to your own home?
26:39Um...
26:40Mum was
26:41out
26:42working late
26:44and I...
26:44I thought...
26:50I thought
26:54Sean might come back.
27:01Okay.
27:02And...
27:03Mum...
27:05Yeah.
27:06I was...
27:17I was scared to be...
27:22I was scared to be on my own with him.
27:27I mean...
27:28He's been trying...
27:30He's been coming on to me.
27:34I...
27:34I...
27:34I didn't let him...
27:36Please, please, tell me
27:37not to say anything.
27:38I'm...
27:38I'm...
27:38I'm sorry.
27:40I'm so...
27:40So...
27:42So, she's accusing him
27:45of grooming her
27:46and he's saying
27:47she was obsessed with him.
27:49Either way,
27:50Mum ends up in the Thames.
27:52Yeah.
27:53Arrest them both
27:53on suspicion of murder
27:54and see whose story
27:55cracks first.
27:57What, you really think
27:57she's capable of killing
27:59her own mother
27:59over a man?
28:01Well, what we have
28:02suggests that Charlotte
28:03leave us killed in her kitchen.
28:05But there's nothing hard
28:06to link either of them
28:07to the murder.
28:08Oh, I hate to say it
28:09but the girl's alibi
28:10is not the strongest of her,
28:11that's for sure.
28:12And she matches
28:13the description
28:14of the girl
28:14seen going into Hart's flat.
28:16Well, that could be anyone.
28:17He's admitted
28:17to being a ladies' man, sir.
28:19Have you been to her school?
28:21Spoken to her mates?
28:22Not yet.
28:23Well, you should.
28:25Girls talk.
28:26Can you tell us
28:29anything about Holly
28:30before this?
28:31She came through
28:31a difficult time
28:32when her parents divorced.
28:35Holly's a bright young thing,
28:38though I've noticed
28:39her marks are not
28:41what they were,
28:42which is a cause for concern.
28:44I can imagine.
28:46About the night
28:47of the concert,
28:48Mr. Crossley.
28:49The girls performed
28:50a recital.
28:52Several pieces
28:53I'd, uh,
28:54I'd written myself.
29:00Can we keep these, please?
29:01Of course.
29:03It actually went
29:04rather well.
29:05And Holly,
29:06did she play a part
29:08in the concert herself?
29:09She plays the flute.
29:11But she left early, yeah?
29:12Yes.
29:13When I went to collect her
29:15for her solo,
29:16Jess informed me
29:17the young girl
29:17had been taken unwell.
29:18So I had to carry on
29:20without her, sadly.
29:22You say Jess.
29:23Was that Jess Hayes?
29:25No.
29:26It wasn't a lie.
29:27She was in the toilets
29:31and she did leave early.
29:38I don't want her
29:39to get into trouble.
29:41Darling,
29:41just tell the truth.
29:43It's okay.
29:45Have you spoken to Holly
29:46about that night?
29:48No, but I tried to.
29:50She, um,
29:51she wasn't answering
29:52her phone.
29:53She never said
29:53where she was going.
29:55Not to me.
29:56Home, I assumed.
29:58Didn't mention to you
29:59about meeting anyone,
30:00maybe a boyfriend?
30:02No, boyfriends
30:03were strictly off-limits.
30:06As far as her mom
30:07was concerned.
30:08Why's that?
30:10Some boy liked
30:11one of Holly's
30:11profile pictures once.
30:14Her mom went round
30:15to his parents' house
30:16and totally freaked.
30:21That was pretty typical.
30:23Jess,
30:24what's the truth?
30:27And how was
30:28Holly, Jess,
30:30her reaction
30:31to her mom
30:31going round
30:32to the boys' house
30:33regarding the photographs?
30:34Was she angry?
30:35No, um,
30:37she was scared of her.
30:39I used to tell her
30:40she ought to stick up
30:41for herself.
30:42You say you used to?
30:44She got defensive.
30:47Told me to mind
30:47my own business.
30:48On the night,
30:53Holly left here
30:54wearing her school uniform.
30:56Yeah, but Francis
30:57took it in already.
30:58It's clean.
30:59But maybe she had
30:59another one.
31:00See, when my girls
31:01were at school,
31:02they always had
31:02a spare uniform.
31:04We need to sweep
31:04that house again
31:05just in case we
31:06miss something
31:07first time around.
31:08I mean,
31:11someone should have
31:12their knuckles
31:13wrapped for missing this.
31:14You reckon?
31:15That was found
31:16in a carrier bag
31:17under a bed.
31:18There's blood
31:19all over it.
31:20Is it a match
31:21for the victims?
31:22Yes.
31:23Given what her mate
31:24said about how she felt
31:25about her own mother,
31:27she sounds like
31:28a ticking bomb.
31:28No, look,
31:29that just doesn't
31:30feel right, Sam.
31:32Why?
31:32They were competing
31:33for the same man.
31:34She just couldn't
31:34have done it
31:35on her own.
31:36It's okay.
31:37I'm dealing with it.
31:38It's under control.
31:42Listen, I'm gonna
31:43have to go.
31:44I'll see you later.
31:46I'm afraid you won't
31:48unless there's
31:49a solicitor.
31:51You're under arrest.
32:01Holly Lee?
32:02What now?
32:03I'm arresting
32:03your suspicion
32:04of the murder
32:05of Charlotte Lee.
32:06What?
32:06You do not have
32:07to say anything,
32:07but it may help
32:08your defense.
32:09Do you have to do this
32:09here?
32:10It's something
32:10which you lay
32:11to the liability.
32:12If anything you do
32:13say may be given
32:14an evidence.
32:14Do you understand
32:15everything I've said
32:16so far?
32:17Excuse me, sir.
32:17Do you understand
32:18everything I've said
32:19so far?
32:19Yes.
32:20Okay.
32:21Officer,
32:21it's gonna be fine,
32:22don't worry, don't worry.
32:30Why wouldn't
32:31you believe me?
32:34she's pretty convincing.
32:38Jury might think so too.
32:41When would they hear
32:41that she was infatuated
32:43with her mother's husband?
32:44Yeah, on his say so.
32:47Defense will say that
32:48we should be sympathizing
32:49with this girl.
32:50She's the victim
32:50in all this.
32:53How?
32:54A terrified schoolgirl,
32:56groomed and abused
32:58by her stepfather.
32:59With her mother's blood
33:00splattered across
33:01her school jumper.
33:02So?
33:04So,
33:04suggests she was there.
33:07Her jumper was there.
33:09And she did say
33:09she got changed
33:10before she went
33:11to her dad's.
33:12He's dressing up
33:12as a schoolgirl too
33:13now, is he?
33:14He must have helped her.
33:16There isn't enough
33:17evidence to support that.
33:19I won't enjoy
33:20putting away
33:20a 16-year-old girl,
33:22but if the jury
33:22decides she's guilty,
33:24then we'll have
33:25done our job properly.
33:26Ronnie's been in touch.
33:27Sean Hart is ready
33:29to talk.
33:29He's admitted to
33:30assisting,
33:30but not murder.
33:36Holly's very immature
33:37for her age.
33:41Like I told you before,
33:42she has this insane
33:44schoolgirl crush.
33:47He's selling her out.
33:50I thought if he just
33:51ignored it,
33:51it would go away,
33:52but she was getting
33:53out of control.
33:56I tried to let her
33:57them gen meet,
33:59but she took
34:00to rejection hard,
34:02screaming at me,
34:03threatening to tell
34:04Charlotte I'd abused her.
34:06She was so angry.
34:11I had no choice
34:12but to tell Charlotte
34:13myself after I left
34:14the site while
34:15Holly was still out.
34:18Okay.
34:18And how did
34:19Charlotte react?
34:20Holly came home early
34:27in the middle of it
34:28and things really
34:28kicked off.
34:31Screaming at each
34:32other,
34:33all sorts been said
34:34about the ex
34:35and that.
34:37I thought
34:38it's best just to get
34:40out.
34:41So you left?
34:42Well,
34:42I had to.
34:43I went back to work.
34:48I couldn't face
34:49going home,
34:50so I went down
34:51to the pub
34:51after I drowned
34:52my sorrows
34:53and when I got back...
34:58Sorry.
35:02It's okay.
35:03Take your time.
35:07So,
35:08you got back home.
35:09what happened?
35:16Holly was in the room
35:17sobbing.
35:22I don't think
35:23she meant to kill her.
35:27You said
35:28whilst this fight
35:31was happening
35:32at the house
35:33you were moonlighting
35:34on another job
35:35at 88 Welford Road,
35:37yeah?
35:38That's right.
35:38any witnesses?
35:48There was someone
35:49there who couldn't
35:50prove I'm telling you
35:51the truth.
35:57I didn't want
35:58to drag her into it.
36:01Her?
36:05Mr. Hart.
36:08Jess.
36:18I think he's
36:18hanging Holly out
36:19to dry.
36:20But her best friend's
36:21provided an alibi for him.
36:23Putting Jess
36:24on the stand
36:24will show
36:25it's not in Sean's
36:26character
36:26to do something
36:27like this,
36:27whereas Holly
36:28had a turbulent
36:29relationship
36:30with her mother,
36:31no alibi to speak of
36:32and forensic evidence
36:33pointing directly
36:34to her.
36:36I'm not saying
36:37I like it,
36:37Ronnie,
36:38but we proceed
36:40with charging him
36:40with assisting
36:41an offender
36:42and Holly
36:43with murder.
36:46Would you say
36:46that your friend
36:47had a good relationship
36:48with her mother?
36:52Yeah,
36:53I guess.
36:54I mean,
36:57they argued
36:57sometimes,
36:58like anyone does.
37:00Do you know
37:01what these arguments
37:01were about?
37:03She'd get pretty angry
37:04with how controlling
37:05she was.
37:06She was checking
37:07her phone and stuff.
37:10She was obsessed
37:10with knowing
37:11if she had a boyfriend.
37:13Did Holly
37:13have a boyfriend?
37:17Not that I know of,
37:18no.
37:18No.
37:19What was the relationship
37:21between Holly
37:22and Mr. Hart, Mike?
37:27Good,
37:28as far as I knew.
37:31Until all this happened.
37:34On the night
37:35Charlotte Lee died,
37:37what did you do
37:38after the concert
37:39at school?
37:44I, um...
37:49I went to,
37:52I see Sean.
37:54Why was that?
37:59Miss Hayes,
38:00why did you meet
38:02with Mr. Hart
38:03that evening?
38:07It was about
38:09my mum and dad.
38:11In what way?
38:14Well,
38:15since they, um,
38:19separated,
38:21I just
38:21missed having
38:25my dad around.
38:27Was there a reason
38:29you didn't mention
38:30this to the police
38:30earlier?
38:32I, uh,
38:34didn't want
38:35my mum to know.
38:38Would you say
38:39you're a father
38:39figure to Holly?
38:41I loved her
38:42like she was
38:42my own daughter
38:43since her
38:43old father left her.
38:46You say she
38:47became fixated.
38:48How did this
38:49manifest itself?
38:51It started with
38:52love notes
38:54and that,
38:55you know,
38:57left of my
38:58jacket pocket.
38:59I laughed it off.
39:01I thought it was
39:03just a schoolgirl
39:04crush thing.
39:05It had passed.
39:07And did it pass?
39:08No.
39:09It got worse.
39:10On the evening
39:12your wife was
39:13killed,
39:13you told her
39:14about Holly's
39:15behaviour?
39:16Yeah,
39:16I had to.
39:18And how did
39:19she react?
39:20Well,
39:21she was upset,
39:22as you might
39:22imagine.
39:24Then,
39:25Holly arrived
39:26home,
39:27and
39:27it just
39:30exploded.
39:31What happened
39:32then?
39:34Well,
39:35with the two of them
39:35screaming at each
39:36other,
39:36I had to get
39:37out of there.
39:38I thought
39:39telling Charlotte
39:41would help
39:43resolve it.
39:46I never imagined
39:47it would end
39:47in such tragedy.
39:49And when you
39:49arrived home
39:50later that evening,
39:51where was your
39:52wife?
39:55I found
39:56Charlotte
39:57lying on the
40:00kitchen floor.
40:03You're okay.
40:05And where
40:06was Holly?
40:08they found
40:09her in a
40:09room.
40:11She was
40:11shaking.
40:13What did
40:13you say to
40:14her?
40:15They asked
40:16her what
40:16had happened.
40:18She just
40:19kept saying,
40:20I didn't mean
40:21to,
40:22I didn't mean
40:22to.
40:23Oh,
40:23no,
40:23no.
40:24I'm sorry.
40:25Direct
40:26your answers
40:26to the jury,
40:27please,
40:28Mr.
40:28Hart.
40:28she said
40:36they fought.
40:39She pushed
40:40her mother.
40:41She fell
40:42back,
40:43hit her head.
40:44Why didn't you
40:45call 999?
40:46I tried to.
40:49Holly started
40:49screaming at me.
40:51She said if I
40:52didn't help her,
40:52she'd say I did it.
40:53Did you help
40:56dispose of the
40:57body in the
40:57River Thames
40:58and try to
40:59make it look
40:59like suicide?
41:04Yes.
41:05I did.
41:08I panicked.
41:11I thought
41:11all this was
41:12my fault.
41:14If I
41:15hadn't
41:15said anything.
41:15That is all.
41:26Thank you,
41:26Mr.
41:27Hart.
41:33It started
41:34with little
41:35things.
41:36He'd,
41:37um,
41:38sit too
41:40close to me
41:41on the
41:41sofa or
41:42walk in
41:45when I was
41:46getting
41:46changed
41:47accidentally.
41:51Then he
41:51started giving
41:52me what
41:52he called
41:53his
41:53daddy bear
41:55cuddles.
41:57Even when
41:58I told him
41:58it made me
41:59feel uncomfortable,
42:00he'd
42:00always find
42:03a way to
42:03get me on
42:04my own.
42:05And why
42:06didn't you
42:06tell anyone?
42:08I don't know.
42:09I guess I
42:09just thought
42:09that if I
42:10ignored it,
42:11he'd get
42:12bored and
42:13leave me
42:13alone.
42:15And did
42:16he?
42:25You
42:25tried to
42:26give me
42:26money.
42:28You
42:29said I
42:29should
42:29go and
42:30buy some
42:31underwear
42:32that my
42:32mum wouldn't
42:33approve of
42:33now that
42:34I was
42:35getting all
42:36grown up.
42:39You
42:39kept making
42:40jokes about
42:40me turning
42:4116.
42:42It made
42:43me feel
42:43sick.
42:46When
42:47you
42:47rejected
42:48Mr.
42:49Hart,
42:50what was
42:51his
42:51response?
42:55Angry.
42:57He
42:58said that
42:58if I
43:00didn't want
43:01to be
43:01his
43:01special
43:01girl,
43:02then he'd
43:02find
43:02someone
43:03who
43:03did.
43:03on the
43:23night in
43:23question,
43:24you were
43:25performing
43:25in a school
43:27concert while
43:27your mother
43:28was working
43:28late.
43:29Yeah,
43:31I had to
43:34leave
43:34early.
43:36Where did
43:36you go?
43:38I went
43:38home to
43:39get changed.
43:42I didn't
43:42want to
43:43stay there,
43:44so I
43:44went over
43:47to my
43:47dad's and
43:48forgot he
43:49was away
43:49in business.
43:52Just sat
43:53in his
43:53flat,
43:54like a
43:55face going
43:55home.
43:56And what
43:59happened
44:00when you
44:00arrived home?
44:02It was
44:02quiet.
44:05The lights
44:05were on,
44:06so I assumed
44:06Mum was
44:07back.
44:09I didn't
44:10want to see
44:10anyone,
44:11so I just
44:11went straight
44:12upstairs.
44:13When did
44:14you hear that
44:14your mother
44:15was missing?
44:20The police
44:21arrived.
44:24Well,
44:24one,
44:25I think,
44:26sure
44:27won't
44:27get told
44:28me.
44:36I keep
44:36thinking
44:37that
44:37I'm
44:38just going
44:40to wake
44:41up.
44:46Mum will
44:46be there
44:47and she'll
44:48give me a
44:49hug and tell
44:50me it's
44:50going to be
44:51OK.
44:51all this
44:57will be
44:57over
44:57just
44:58like a
44:59nightmare.
45:04Why
45:04are you
45:06doing this
45:06on the
45:07stone?
45:08everything
45:25all right?
45:26signals
45:32rubbish here,
45:33are you?
45:36Must be
45:37hard for
45:37you,
45:38Jess.
45:40Seeing what
45:40this is doing
45:41to Holly,
45:42you being
45:42such good
45:42friends.
45:47Yeah.
45:47hard for her,
45:50of course,
45:51losing her
45:52mum.
45:54And now
45:55looking like
45:56she's going
45:56to prison
45:56for it.
45:59Prison?
46:00Well,
46:01young
46:01offenders
46:01institution
46:02for the
46:02first year
46:03or so.
46:04Bit of
46:04solitary,
46:05not very
46:05nice,
46:06I have
46:06to admit.
46:07Nasty.
46:09But on
46:10her 18th
46:10birthday,
46:11she'll get
46:11to go to
46:12an adult
46:12prison,
46:12so.
46:15But
46:16she's
46:17going to
46:17get off,
46:18isn't she?
46:20Not unless
46:21you can
46:21help.
46:29See,
46:29this is
46:29very serious,
46:30Jess,
46:30you know
46:31that,
46:31don't you?
46:34The rest
46:35of your
46:35friends'
46:36life's
46:36at stake
46:36here.
46:39So if
46:39there's
46:40anything
46:40else you
46:41can remember
46:41about that
46:42night,
46:42anything
46:42at all.
46:46I don't
46:47know what
46:47you mean.
46:51I think
46:51you do.
46:54I saw
46:55your reaction
46:55in the
46:56court.
46:59You know
47:00that Holly's
47:01telling the
47:01truth,
47:01don't you?
47:06Because
47:06you've
47:06heard those
47:07lines from
47:07Sean
47:08yourself
47:08before,
47:09haven't
47:09you?
47:12Jess,
47:13whatever
47:13he's
47:13promised
47:14you,
47:15you've
47:16now
47:16seen what
47:17he's
47:17really
47:17capable
47:18of.
47:21You could
47:21be next.
47:22it wasn't
47:30Holly's fault.
47:34In your
47:35earlier
47:35evidence,
47:37you said
47:37that you
47:38phoned
47:38Sean Hart
47:39and then
47:40went to
47:41meet him
47:41at his
47:42place of
47:42work.
47:44You wanted
47:44to talk
47:45over your
47:45parents'
47:46recent divorce.
47:48Is that
47:48correct?
47:51Partly.
47:52Which
47:53part?
47:54Well,
47:55I did
47:56call
47:56Sean,
47:56but
47:57he told
48:00me to
48:00go to
48:00the
48:00house.
48:03He
48:04said
48:04Charlotte
48:04was out
48:05and
48:05we could
48:08be alone.
48:10Not
48:10to talk
48:11about
48:11your
48:11parents?
48:16No.
48:18We've been
48:29seeing
48:30each
48:30other.
48:33Seeing?
48:41Sleeping
48:42together.
48:45So,
48:46you went to
48:46the Lee
48:47home
48:47that
48:47evening
48:48and
48:49had
48:49sex
48:50with
48:50Sean
48:51Hart.
48:53Yes.
48:57But it
48:58wasn't how
48:58you make
48:59it sound.
49:00How do
49:01I make
49:01it sound?
49:02Sort
49:03of
49:03dirty.
49:09It
49:10wasn't
49:10like
49:10that.
49:11Sean
49:12was
49:17different.
49:17He
49:18was
49:18kind
49:18and
49:19gentle.
49:22He
49:22called me
49:27a special
49:28girl.
49:28but it
49:37all went
49:37wrong.
49:43Mrs. Lee
49:44came
49:44home and
49:45and we
49:48were in
49:49the kitchen.
49:49you
49:56know.
49:57She
49:58walked
49:58in on
49:58you
49:59having
49:59sex
49:59in the
50:00kitchen.
50:04She
50:05went
50:05mental.
50:09Started
50:10screaming,
50:12calling
50:13him
50:13names.
50:13she
50:18said
50:18she
50:19was
50:19going
50:19to
50:19call
50:20the
50:20police
50:20and
50:23that
50:24Sean
50:24would
50:24go
50:24to
50:25prison.
50:32How
50:32did he
50:33react to
50:33that?
50:35He
50:35tried
50:35to
50:35calm
50:36her
50:36down.
50:39But
50:40she
50:40started
50:41hitting
50:41him
50:41and
50:42she
50:44was
50:45just
50:45screaming
50:45so
50:46loud.
50:51And
50:52then
50:56he
50:56punched
50:57her.
51:01He
51:02just
51:02threw
51:02her
51:03and
51:06she
51:06cracked
51:06her
51:07head

51:14horrible
51:15sense.
51:18She
51:19was
51:19just
51:19lying
51:20there.
51:22She
51:23wasn't
51:23moving.
51:26What
51:27did
51:27Mr.
51:27Hart
51:27do?
51:29Did he
51:29call an

51:40told me
51:40to shut
51:41up

51:51big
51:51sheet
51:52from
51:56his
51:56van.

52:14That
52:15she

53:02them.
53:09It
53:09wasn't
53:10meant to

53:16It
53:17wasn't
53:17meant to
53:17be
