True Crime: The Haunting Unsolved Case of Marie Wilks

Описание: True crime documentary covering the haunting unsolved case of Marie Wilks. In 1988, a pregnant woman vanished from a motorway phone box while calling for help — her killer has never been caught.

Seven months pregnant with her second child, Marie broke down on the M50 motorway near Ledbury. She walked to the emergency phone and called for help. The operator heard traffic, a male voice, and then silence. Marie was gone.

Her 11-year-old sister Georgina was found walking the hard shoulder carrying Marie's baby. Over fifty officers searched through the night. Two days later, Marie's body was found down an embankment.

A man was convicted. Then freed. Police had hidden crucial evidence. The case remains unsolved.

This is the story of one of Britain's most haunting unsolved murders...
