The Child Who Never Came Home

In 1939, four-year-old Joyce Cox vanished whilst on her way home. Her killer has never been caught. Can the Dark Land team help her family to solve an eight-decades-old mystery?

Cardiff schoolgirl Joyce Cox was only four years old when her body was discovered along a railway line, just a few hundred yards from her home in Whitchurch. For over 80 years, her story has been lost to history: lost to everyone but her family, who remain devastated and torn apart by her death. Can the Dark Land team help identify a potential suspect to present to the police?

Despite the passage of time, new evidence comes to light that might finally solve the case, as the last person to be with Joyce before she met her killer talks for the first time about that fateful day.
