Episode 1

Gaia Pope-Sutherland disappeared on 7 November, 2017. She was never seen alive by her family again. Zara McDermott explores the mystery that surrounds her death.

This episode tells the story of Gaia going missing from her aunt鈥檚 house just before sunset on a November evening in 2017. Just before she leaves, she makes a last-minute call to her identical twin sister, Maya, then she runs. She鈥檚 alone without a coat, phone or medication for her epilepsy and in a state of high distress. After making several emergency calls to police, Gaia鈥檚 family believe that a widespread search for her is underway.

Days later, after hundreds of volunteers have joined the search, Gaia鈥檚 body is found deep in undergrowth on Dancing Ledge. She had died of hypothermia.

Zara McDermott wants answers; what or who had she been running from? And could the man that Gaia had briefly been seeing have anything to do with her disappearance?
