Family's anguish at not knowing where their murdered sister's body has been hidden
When Alan Edwards was jailed for life for the murder of his partner Susan Wareing, her family breathed a sigh of relief.
Appearing in the documentary, Susan's brother Peter and sister Karen spoke of the cheeky and naughty child they grew up with - and how her vulnerabilities pulled her away from them and into the hands of a manipulative killer. By the time she was reported missing, in January 2019, she had not been seen for around three weeks. As officers tried to piece together Susan's last movements, they checked hospitals, police custody suites and homeless shelters in the hope of finding Susan alive.
Lancashire Police launched a public appeal asking for sightings of Susan. Det Insp Lukmaan Mulla headed up the investigation and received reports from Dumbarton in Scotland, where Susan had lived for a decade. Sadly, the new start in Lancashire saw Susan returning to her old ways. Suspecting she was back on drugs, her family confronted her, but Susan continued to deny she was using again. But while the investigations gave clues into Susan's lifestyle, officers were no nearer to finding her. Ten weeks after she was reported missing, officers launched a 'no body homicide' investigation, to search for signs of life.
Det Insp Mulla suspected Edwards knew more than he was letting on. The killer's demeanour switched from answering questions directly to replying 'no comment' when the interview got tough. But with no body, and no solid evidence Edwards had killed Susan, they had no choice but to release him on bail. Safeguarding measures were put in place with officers monitoring Edwards' living arrangements and relationships.
Det Insp Mulla said: "His ex partners disclosed horrific violence. One woman was so scared she had changed her name and another spent the first two hours of her interview crying. There was a pattern of behaviour. Initially he was very charming, very attentive, and a perfect partner. Once in a relationship, he turned very quickly."
