In August 2012, 12 year old Tia Sharp went missing from her Grandmother's home in New Addington South London. It sparked a nationwide search for the missing schoolgirl, but unbeknown to the family and police Tia had been sexually assaulted and murdered by her step-grandfather Stuart Hazell. Hazell hid Tia's body in the loft where it was discovered more than a week later. Hazell was obsessed with Tia and had been watching violent child pornography in the weeks before her death. In this episode we reveal the extent of Hazell's perverted behaviour and find out that he had been secretly filming Tia before her death And the police reveal the true horror of Hazell's deviant sexual behaviour for the first time. It's the ultimate betrayal as Hazell continued his deceit by leading the search for Tia and comforting her family while her body decomposed in the loft. Christine and Natalie talk for the first time since the trial about the impact the murder had on them and their family. With expert analysis from Forensic psychologist Dr Keri Nixon and psychologist Emma Kenny, we get an insight into the mind of Stuart Hazell One of the UK's most notorious killers.
