Shafilea Ahmed was an ordinary teenager trapped in an extraordinary situation. Her parents were strict traditionalists and decided it was time for her to be married off. But when Shafilea refuses to play ball things take a dark turn. Each episode of When Missing Turns to Murder features one case as it reveals powerful and emotional testimony from families and friends of those who have disappeared. Every story intimately shares the moment when a family changes forever – when a missing persons enquiry turns into a murder investigation. As each programme unfolds police and authorities investigate and bring the perpetrators to justice.
