Girl Gone Missing

Chepstow Castle, Gloucestershire.

A woman makes a gruesome discovery whilst out walking her dog.

The body of a teenage girl has been washed up on the banks of the River Wye, after weeks spent decomposing in the water.

But this is no suicide.

After five weeks of dry weather, the fields and roads of Lancashire are suddenly flooded by heavy Bank Holiday rain.

Roads are blocked, streams become impassable, and debris that has lain stagnant in the summer weeks is uprooted.

Among that debris - a body.
