Summary

24 year old Tracey Cowley lived in Cannock with her husband of two years 29 year old Simon and their 19 month old daughter, Robyn. The young family had lived in the house for two years, and the three of them were often spotted together, enjoying their shared leisure time regularly walking and going on bike rides, enjoying each others company and making the most of the beautiful countryside.

But one evening Tracey went out to see a friend and she never came home.

I tell Tracey's story.
