Episode Information

When 28-year-old Hollie Kerrell disappeared from her home in Knucklas, mid-Wales, concerned husband Chris contacted everyone he could think of - but no one had seen or heard from her. He told police they’d argued and she’d stormed off to start, she said, a new life. But Detective Superintendent Anthony Griffiths knew something wasn’t right. Why would devoted mum Hollie leave her three children behind? Under arrest, Chris Kerrell coolly maintained his innocence - until mounting evidence and an unexpected phone call finally exposed his web of lies, and the awful truth began to emerge. He’d brutally murdered Hollie, dumping her body where he believed she would never be found. This film delves deep inside a murder investigation to reveal how painstaking detective work and rapid decision-making led to the conviction of a man determined to take the ultimate control over his wife.
