When Missing Turns to Murder

S01E05 Carole Packman

In June 1985, Carole Packman wrote a note indicating her intention to permanently leave her family home. Sixteen-year-old Sam Gillingham vividly recalls the day her mother disappeared from their house in Bournemouth, a charming seaside town. She hurried upstairs to her parents' bedroom, while her father, Russell, observed quietly. As Sam looked at her mother's undisturbed belongings, Russell reassured her with the words, "She'll return."
