Nicola Fellows and Karen Hadaway were nine years old and best friends, living just three doors apart.
One afternoon, they went out to play...but they never came home.
When they were found the next day, police quickly focused on a man who had been seen nearby. He was arrested, charged, and brought to trial.
But… he was found not guilty.
Three years later, he would attack another child.
It would take more than three decades, advances in forensic science, and a change in the law before the truth could finally be proven in court.
