Mali Pryce, 16 years old. Went missing April 2011.
So she was held somewhere? For how long?
We could be looking at months, not weeks.
Possibly even longer.
East wind. Always brings trouble.
That brought me back.
Like I said. Trouble.
You OK?
Yeah, just knackered.
- We need to have some fun. - Stop. Leave me alone!
Megan!
OK.
Llinos Evans was reported missing in March 2007 by her foster parents.
Geraint and Anwen Richards.
Now this wasn't the first time that Llinos had run away from a foster home.
She had history.
She had only been with the Richards' for seven months
before she just vanished into thin air.
Now, if I can draw your attention to the bracelet that she is wearing in
this photograph.
This was taken a couple of days before she went missing.
Now if we compare it with the bracelet we found on Mali Pryce yesterday morning,
the similarities are obvious.
You think it could be the same one?
A word of caution, let's not jump to any conclusions quite yet.
After all, this style of bracelet is very common.
But what we'll need to do, as a matter of priority
is to go back through the MisPer files on both these girls.
Re-examine witness statements.
Check names, dates, times.
See if we can establish any sort of connection
between Mali Pryce and Llinos Evans.
So far, the team have visited up to 30 addresses in the immediate area
surrounding Pantwern.
We've prepared this statement for the press.
OK. We've kept it short.
We don't want to release any details about Llinos Evans at this stage.
How sure are we about this?
Two girls.
Similar age, similar build.
Both with dark hair.
Both go missing within a ten-mile radius of each other.
Could all be a coincidence.
But I just...
it doesn't feel that way.
We're going to need more than gut instinct and a silver bracelet
before we face the ACC and Deputy Chief Constable.
Let's keep our focus on Mali Pryce for the time being.
Keep digging her past, see what we can find.
We've got an address for an old school friend of Mali's, Sara Dean.
They were cautioned together for shoplifting two months
- before Mali went missing. - Good.
Let's talk to her. See what she has to say.
Sorry to disturb you.
We're just going house to house in the area, making some enquiries.
My name is Police Constable Ryan Davis,
my colleague is Police Constable Marie James.
We were wondering if we could ask you a few questions?
Yeah.
I don't know how closely you follow the news
but a young woman's body was found
yesterday morning in the river at Pantwern.
On Monday night, the night of the 16th,
did you see or hear anything suspicious?
No.
No suspicious activity?
No strange person or persons in the area?
Nobody comes this way.
Does anyone else live here on the premises with you?
Yes. My granddaughter and my son live here.
- What's your son's name? - Dylan.
- And the girl's mother? - She's gone.
- She's left. - How old is your granddaughter?
Ten.
And your son, does he have another partner?
Girlfriend?
What's that got to do with you?
We're just trying to establish whether your son was home on the night of the 16th.
- That's all. - Yes, he was.
We'll need to speak to your son.
Is he home?
No.
But he will be here tonight. I don't know what time.
He works shifts over at Carneddi.
OK?
You know what, I think we're done here.
That's everything, thank you for your time.
She was friendly.
It takes all sorts.
Don't I know it.
Hey.
Hi, Isabel.
Yeah, good, thanks.
Yeah.
Is Mam home?
Do you know when she'll be back?
Is she working late tonight?
Yeah.
No, it's OK. You don't have to do that.
It's not important.
What?
No, everything's good.
Yeah. I'm getting into the course after freshers.
Yeah!
Is that Charlie?
Yeah.
I bet he's not missing me at all.
No, everything's good.
Hey, there's someone at the door.
Hm. Yeah.
Tell her I phoned.
OK.
Speak soon.
Bye.
You two seemed to hit it off.
What can I say, I've always loved a halfwit.
It's why we get on so well.
Oh, shit.
Keep an eye on him for me, will you?
Hey, Dad.
Dad?
What are you doing? You're supposed to be resting.
I'm just sorting these.
I've been meaning to do it for a while.
I've got nothing better to do with my time.
Dad.
The second-hand book shop will take some of these, won't they?
And those that aren't worth very much, well,
they can go to the charity shop.
I don't know, they're fussy about what they take now, you know.
I forgot.
Nobody reads any more.
You look tired. Why don't you rest?
After what happened yesterday, well...
we don't want a repeat performance.
- You know what Aileen said. - I'm fine.
There's no need to fret.
I just need to do this.
OK, OK. I'm not here to nag.
Just give me a shout if you need anything, OK?
Have you eaten anything today?
Yes.
What about your tablets?
- Yes. - All of them?
Yes.
Is everything OK up there?
Dad?
Is that from Cadi?
Her handwriting was always atrocious.
Aw! When was this taken?
Look how young she is.
She looks about 12.
You'll have to show this to her when she comes home.
I don't know. We'll see.
You OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.
It's just that...
Nobody knows what will happen in any given moment.
You spend your life worrying about your children.
You want them to be safe.
To be happy.
And you think that there will always be time.
Yeah, but we're all here now, Dad, and that's what matters.
I'll go put some food on.
You don't have to eat it now, you can reheat it later.
OK?
Meg?
Megan?
Megan, what the fuck?
What's going on? Where have you been?
- What happened last night? - Nothing. It was nothing.
You OK? I texted you, like, 5 times.
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't have my phone on.
Well, you could have texted back to let me know you were OK.
Why did you leave like that last night?
I just wasn't feeling very well.
Needed to get out.
Look, I've got to go, I've got a seminar now.
OK. What are you doing later?
Library, probably.
I don't know. I've got that essay.
Are you sure everything's OK?
You can speak to me.
You know, about stuff.
- Anything. - Yeah, I know.
I, I'm fine.
It's just...
I'm just late for class.
OK. Well, text me later if you want to do anything.
Yeah.
Hi, Els, what's up?
Hi, Cad, where are you?
Still at work, why?
Nothing, it just sounds like you're outside somewhere, that's all.
What is it, are you OK?
Yeah. What are you doing tonight?
Do you want to come over to the house?
- Tonight? - We need to talk.
Yeah, I can't tonight.
I'm sorry. I've got too much on here, I don't know when I'll get away.
OK. When then?
I don't know.
- Tomorrow maybe? - OK.
Have you spoken to Dad today?
No, not yet.
It's been hectic here, you know how it is.
You? Is he OK?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, he seems fine.
But he probably wouldn't say anything to us either way.
You know, Cadi, you could show a bit more interest once in a while.
Seriously, Elin?
Do we really want to do this now?
I'm sorry.
I'm tired.
So tomorrow night, then?
Yeah. Tomorrow night.
OK.
So what have you got for me?
Ieuan Rhys. I've been doing a bit of digging.
Known associates, criminal records prison sentencing dates.
He served 8 months for theft,
10 months for handling stolen goods.
Possession, an aggravated assault charge.
Some other minor offences.
The list goes on. Here's what we have on the known associates.
We've also found an address for Geraint and Anwen Richards.
Llinos Evans' foster parents.
We've spoken to the wife, Anwen,
and she told us that her husband passed away last year.
June the...
8th. Aside from that there's not much more she could tell us.
She was asked about the bracelet?
She was. She couldn't remember ever seeing it on Llinos.
That's frustrating.
You need me for anything else?
No, that's everything. Thanks.
OK, well, I should...
I'll let you get on.
I don't know if you know,
but a few of us are going out for drinks this Saturday.
If you're free, you should come.
It might be fun.
Let me think about it.
OK.
Hi, Mam. It's me.
No, I was over in the library.
Everything's good, yeah.
The course is great. I'm really enjoying it.
Yeah.
Yes, I'm making friends.
I said I'd make an effort, and I am.
No reason. I just wanted to see how you are, that's all.
No.
No, I wasn't upset.
I don't know why she said that.
I know she wouldn't lie.
I know it was my choice to be here.
I'm not being snappy.
OK.
Text me a time and I'll ring you.
Hiya.
You can leave the pattern on the plate, you know.
It's good. You've got Bethan to thank for it.
Well, I didn't think you made it.
Well, somebody had to learn to cook in this family.
And it was never going to be you or Elin.
If God wanted me to cook, why did he invent takeaways?
- How are you feeling? - Oh, you know.
The occasional twinge.
Just enough to remind me that this machine of mine isn't going to last
very much longer.
Well, I see you've kept yourself busy today.
Rearranging the front room.
Where did all those bloody books come from?
And why have I been keeping them all these years?
Yeah. The junk we accumulate.
All we need are the clothes we're standing up in
and the clothes we're changing into.
Everything else is just decoration.
Still travelling light, even now.
I remember watching you once, years ago.
You could only have been
about 7 or 8.
You were trying to dam a stream on the beach.
Trying to stop the water from reaching the sea.
And every time you held it back it changed its course.
Burst its banks.
Found another way.
You were furious.
But you still fought against it.
Two forces of nature competing with each other.
I knew then that...
nothing would hold you back.
I often wonder what would've happened if you'd stayed.
If you hadn't left when you did.
It was hard.
Not having you around.
I sometimes feel as though I've...
missed out on so much of your life.
You see, Cad, the problem with the stream...
is that it pushes everything and everyone...
out of its path.
I wasn't trying to exclude you.
I just...
I'm happy doing what I'm doing.
I know that.
Dad, I...
A word of advice.
Dying men,
they talk a lot of sentimental nonsense.
That's the end of the sermon.
I won't tell you not to work too late because you won't listen.
