      Great Baddow, Essex

      July 25th, 2010

      Brett Johnson was about to pour himself a coffee when he heard Julie Williams’ piercing scream. Peering from his window he saw that his next door neighbour was in her front garden, clearly deeply distraught. Hastily abandoning the percolator, he rushed outside to ascertain the cause of her panic and offer what help he could.

      Brett quickly shook his head. ‘I very much doubt that, Julie. No, she’s just wandered off somewhere. Children are prone to do that, as you well know.’

      ‘All right, listen, we’re wasting time. Wait while I grab my car keys and we’ll go find her. Ten seconds!’

      As good as his word Brett was back in a trice and Julie’s nose was soon pressed to the side window of his grey Ford hatchback as he methodically toured four or five of the tree-lined roads adjacent to theirs. With no joy. After
