The Disappearance of Charlene Downes

This true crime documentary follows the disappearance of 14-year-old Charlene from her home in Blackpool in 2003, with unprecedented access to Charlene's friends, family, suspects, and police. The information the police received would unveil what was considered to be Britain's first grooming gang scandal. Despite the strength of the evidence, a suspect claimed he was only accused due to racism and a long-running personal vendetta against him by a member of the police force.
