26 Feb
Summary
- Actress Eve Myles stars in a new crime drama.
- The series is inspired by a real cold case murder.
- A detective solved the 1984 murder case in 2009.
Actress Eve Myles is set to lead a new crime drama titled "Gone," a six-part series loosely based on a real-life cold case. Myles portrays Detective Annie Cassidy, tasked with solving the perplexing disappearance of a woman.
The narrative is significantly inspired by "To Hunt a Killer," a book detailing Detective Superintendent Julie Mackay's meticulous investigation. This inquiry focused on the 1984 murder of 17-year-old Melanie Road, who was killed while walking home from a nightclub.
Mackay's persistent efforts brought closure to the decades-old case. Her investigation, which began in 2009, ultimately led to Christopher Hampton being found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment for the teenager's murder, 32 years after the crime occurred.
