- The witness alleges police searched the wrong property linked to suspicious activity.
The disappearance of 14-year-old Charlene Downes from Blackpool in November 2003 remains unsolved. A new podcast, 'Charlene: Somebody Knows Something,' features Jodie, who claims she saw and spoke with Charlene multiple times weeks after her vanishing.
Jodie, who lived in the same neighbourhood, alleges she observed Charlene receiving gifts like a mobile phone and trainers from a man identified as 'Ronnie.' She also reported suspicious activity at a nearby flat where older men allegedly met young girls, claiming Charlene was among them.
Furthermore, Jodie asserts that police searched the incorrect flat rented by a man named Ronnie Fraser. While police found pornography, Jodie believes they missed crucial evidence by not searching a second property allegedly used for illicit meetings. Jodie has since passed away.
