How does an entire family vanish in plain sight?

Mother Buys Flowers With Daughter Who Vanishes That Night

A mother and daughter spent a Sunday afternoon buying daffodils and a birthday card. "Bye, Mom. Phone you Monday or Tuesday," the young woman said. She never called, and weeks later a man walking his dog found her body in the woods with a garrote around her neck. How does a system that knew the danger let her killer stay free for years?

In this episode, we analyze the murder of Emma Caldwell in Glasgow and the institutional failures that followed. We examine the "Beware Book" that named the killer, the four innocent men wrongly pursued, the officers sidelined for following the right lead, and the public inquiry now underway. When the system decides a victim isn't worth protecting, who pays the price?
