Season 8 - Episode 44

DESCRIPTION: 

Five young women vanished off the streets of Ipswich during a five-week period in late 2006. Working in one of the oldest professions put the missing women at risk. The secrecy required to operate in the red light district meant there were no witnesses… (Part 1 of 2).
