On August 3rd, 2012, 12 year old Tia Sharp adored her Grandmother and her partner Stuart Hazell whom she lovingly referred to as Granddad. She was a bubbly and happy young girl who loved spending time with her family. So it was perplexing when she disappeared without a trace from their home. It would take police 9 long days to discover her fate and uncover the predator closer to home than anyone could have imagined. Join us on the next episode of Crime Salad where we examine the disappearance of Tia Sharp.
