In January 1995, the Cardiff suburb of St Mellons was shaken by the disappearance and murder of 15-year-old schoolgirl Claire Hood, a bright, popular teenager whose warmth touched everyone around her.
As detectives searched for answers, the inquiry became one of the largest DNA investigations the UK had ever seen. What began as a desperate hunt for a killer would uncover a devastating betrayal of trust that struck painfully close to home.
When the truth finally surfaced, it revealed not only one man’s deception, but also the heartbreaking reality of a justice system still grappling with how to balance punishment and loss, and a family left to bear the weight of a life stolen too soon.
