Summary

In the ninth episode of season 7, I tell the story of Mark Bridger and April Jones.

On October 1, 2012, 5-year-old April Jones was abducted and murdered by 46-year-old Mark Bridger.

April's disappearance sparked the biggest search for a missing person in UK police history after the national Child Rescue Alert (CRA) system was triggered.

On May 30, 2013, Mark Bridger was found guilty of murdering April Jones and handed a whole life order.

To this day, April's body has not been found.
