On the 29th of July 1981, Vishal Mehrotra had been watching the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana with his family in London where he lived. While the rest of the country and the world continued to watch the festivities, 8 year old Vishal disappeared from a street in Putney. His remains were found 7 months later in Surrey and foul play was thought to be involved. The events following this would lead the police and the public down a dark and terrifying road and one which has not led to this case being solved.
