Melanie Hunter had a fine career as a palaeontologist.
Melanie had tried to be good, to make something of herself,.
It seems that when you pull one thread, the whole fabric of family life can come apart.
And there is plenty to suspect: lies, half-truths, deceptions ...
The men in her life come under suspicion: her boyfriend, her step-father, her neighbour with the shady past.
So when she goes missing, it is completely out of character.
She was polite, friendly and well liked.
