Summary
In the early 2000s, the quiet seaside town of Torquay in Devon held a dark secret. One that would remain hidden for years before finally coming to light in the most harrowing of circumstances.
Saraya Broadhurst was a woman marked by hardship, but also by resilience. Behind closed doors, she did her best to overcome her mental health struggles while still trying to find stability and connection in her life. When she suddenly disappeared, there was no public appeal or manhunt - only silence.
What unfolded next is a story that never made national headlines, but one that deserves to be heard. As questions finally began to surface, authorities would uncover a shocking truth buried in plain sight. This quickly became one of the most unsettling cases Devon has ever seen.
