Summary
In November 2009, a young newlywed seemingly vanished from the home she shared with her husband on a quiet Cheshire estate. Just five months earlier, she’d been a beaming bride, surrounded by friends and family, celebrating what should have been the happiest day of her life.
25-year-old Vicky Roberts was smart, funny, and kind. She was adored by her family and had a bright future ahead of her. Her sudden disappearance left those closest to her deeply concerned — especially her devoted parents, who hadn’t heard from their daughter in days.
But as police began to dig deeper, cracks started to show in the picture-perfect relationship. What unfolded next was a tale of deception, betrayal, and a devastating act of violence hidden in plain sight.
