00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,800
NARRATOR: In December 2012,
in Omagh, Northern Ireland,

2
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:16,000
alarm bells began ringing
for the family

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,560
alarm bells began ringing
for the family

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,520
of 34-year-old Charlotte Murray.

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Charlotte lived
quite a distance from her family,

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,600
Charlotte lived
quite a distance from her family,

7
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,240
but she never missed
a birthday or Christmas.

8
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,000
Charlotte's fiance, Johnny Miller,
told her worried family

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,080
Charlotte's fiance, Johnny Miller,
told her worried family

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,120
she'd simply walked out
two months earlier.

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,000
WANSELL: Charlotte's just taken off.

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:40,280
WANSELL: Charlotte's just taken off.

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:41,720
She's vanished.

14
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,760
She leaves her dog,
her beloved dog, Bella,

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,920
leaves her car.

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Months turned to years,

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,040
Months turned to years,

18
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,760
and Charlotte Murray
did not return...

19
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,080
nor were there
any signs of life.

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,960
She hadn't registered a phone.
She hadn't used a bank account.

21
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,760
As detectives continued to dig,

22
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,000
they realised Charlotte's boyfriend

23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,280
they realised Charlotte's boyfriend

24
00:01:06,320 --> 00:01:07,680
was not the jilted fiance

25
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,920
he was pretending to be.

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:13,560
What seemed like quite deliberate

27
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,560
attempts to cover up and to suggest

28
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,200
that she was still alive.

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:20,000
He was determined
to get away with it.

30
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,480
He was determined
to get away with it.

31
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,480
And he was very calm afterwards.

32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,440
This is dangerous person.

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,360
Though Charlotte Murray's body

34
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,000
was never found,

35
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:28,600
was never found,

36
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,840
in 2019, her fiance, Johnny Miller,

37
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,800
was finally proven to be

38
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,000
one of Britain's most evil killers.

39
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:36,720
one of Britain's most evil killers.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

42
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,040
Johnny Miller's conviction
for murdering Charlotte Murray

43
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,000
was without precedent
in Irish legal history.

44
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,720
was without precedent
in Irish legal history.

45
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,120
It was Northern Ireland's first ever

46
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,360
no-body murder conviction.

47
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,600
It changed the landscape
of possibilities.

48
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,240
Now, people just weren't
going to get walking away

49
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,000
just because it didn't just fill...

50
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,800
just because it didn't just fill...

51
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,360
tick every box.

52
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,320
Dig deeper and deeper,
and you keep digging

53
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,960
until you get the facts.

54
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,840
Charlotte's family is now working

55
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,120
with Northern Ireland's
justice minister

56
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,600
on new legislation

57
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:39,840
that will put pressure on killers

58
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:40,000
to reveal where
their victim's remains

59
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,320
to reveal where
their victim's remains

60
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,320
can be found.

61
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,000
Losing a loved one in any
circumstance is very difficult,

62
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:48,160
Losing a loved one in any
circumstance is very difficult,

63
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,440
but for these families,
they have no certainty

64
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,440
as to what happened
or how it happened

65
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,720
or why it happened.
They've never had that closure.

66
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:56,000
I would hope that the law

67
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,160
I would hope that the law

68
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,080
and the processes
that we're putting in place

69
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,000
would help the families
in being able to find the truth

70
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,000
about their final hours

71
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,720
and be able to locate the remains
so that they can have a burial.

72
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,920
BRANNIGAN:
Charlotte might never be found,

73
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,000
but at least that law
will be introduced

74
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:12,760
but at least that law
will be introduced

75
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,360
and people will be...
dissuaded from doing this

76
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,640
'cause they know they will
never get out if they do it.

77
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,000
It's the last bit of power
he has over the family.

78
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,800
"I'm not telling you,
and you can't make me.

79
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,600
I'm still saying I'm innocent,

80
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:33,080
even though
I've been proven guilty."

81
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,000
DS James Brannigan,
who was part of the team

82
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,560
DS James Brannigan,
who was part of the team

83
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,560
that brought Miller to justice,

84
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,200
lives in hope that the killer
might one day do the right thing.

85
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,680
He's been convicted.

86
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,120
He's had his appeal heard,
his appeal has been rejected.

87
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,000
You know, if he has
any moral fibre in him,

88
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,960
You know, if he has
any moral fibre in him,

89
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,360
just put the family out of misery

90
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,320
and let them know
where Charlotte is.

91
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,000
Only time will tell if Johnny Miller
will end his silence

92
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,520
Only time will tell if Johnny Miller
will end his silence

93
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,760
and give Charlotte's family
the closure they deserve.

94
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,000
This killer's story begins
on the 16th of January, 1971.

95
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,080
This killer's story begins
on the 16th of January, 1971.

96
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,760
John Patrick Miller

97
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,080
was born in County Londonderry,
Northern Ireland.

98
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,040
He's originally from Coleraine,

99
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,720
his parents were very upstanding
members of the community.

100
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,000
He came from a very educated,

101
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,760
He came from a very educated,

102
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,040
privileged background.

103
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,280
He was very, very fond
of his parents and his sister.

104
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,000
He seemed to have
a stable upbringing

105
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:32,920
He seemed to have
a stable upbringing

106
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,640
at the time with that family.

107
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,240
We don't know
what went on in his life

108
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:38,880
outside of the family set up.

109
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,000
He was, by all accounts,
a perfectly reasonable schoolboy,

110
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,480
He was, by all accounts,
a perfectly reasonable schoolboy,

111
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,000
but he was also
a very fine canoeist,

112
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,000
and in fact, became
an all-Ireland canoe champion.

113
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:48,960
and in fact, became
an all-Ireland canoe champion.

114
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,040
This is a considerable achievement.

115
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,600
He then went on to become a chef

116
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,000
and was working in various
establishments over the years

117
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,120
and was working in various
establishments over the years

118
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,000
and never continued
with the canoeing,

119
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,000
even though he had a talent at it.

120
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:04,600
even though he had a talent at it.

121
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,040
One friend who worked with him
said he was

122
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,360
hardworking and likeable,

123
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,000
never aggressive, never angry.

124
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,600
never aggressive, never angry.

125
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,000
He worked for a time in the very
plush resort of Lusty Beg

126
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:20,200
He worked for a time in the very
plush resort of Lusty Beg

127
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,080
in Fermanagh, which is
really top of the range.

128
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,200
That's where they actually met.

129
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:27,800
Charlotte was working there, too.

130
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:28,000
Johnny Miller and Charlotte Murray

131
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,960
Johnny Miller and Charlotte Murray

132
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,960
met in late 2010,

133
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,960
and the 39-year-old chef

134
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
very quickly became
the centre of Charlotte's world.

135
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,680
very quickly became
the centre of Charlotte's world.

136
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,080
I think what happened

137
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,960
was literally a sort of...

138
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,000
spark of infatuation.

139
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,800
spark of infatuation.

140
00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:48,600
It was really strong and powerful.

141
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,000
Charlotte Murray
hailed from County Tyrone,

142
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,880
Charlotte Murray
hailed from County Tyrone,

143
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,600
25 miles from Lusty Beg.

144
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,000
She was the older
of the two identical twins.

145
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,800
She was the older
of the two identical twins.

146
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:02,680
Her sister was called Denise,

147
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,280
and they were the
sixth and seventh children

148
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,480
in an 11 children family.

149
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,000
Born just two minutes apart

150
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,920
Born just two minutes apart

151
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,200
in December 1978,

152
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,680
the twins were inseparable
growing up.

153
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,000
They felt one another's pain,

154
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:16,680
They felt one another's pain,

155
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,320
and even got identical scars

156
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,000
when they hurt themselves
while playing.

157
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,000
The two of them were...
were wild kids at the time.

158
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,280
The two of them were...
were wild kids at the time.

159
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,920
They sound the same,

160
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,560
looked the same, it was bizarre.

161
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,000
But they were close.
They were really, really close.

162
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:32,480
But they were close.
They were really, really close.

163
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:35,120
Charlotte's twin described her

164
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,480
as the louder, more confident one,

165
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,760
always first on the dance floor.

166
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,360
Perfectly happy girl.

167
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,120
she could be the life and soul
of the party when she chose to be.

168
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,000
But potential fractures
between Charlotte and her family

169
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,960
But potential fractures
between Charlotte and her family

170
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,520
always lay just below the surface.

171
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,000
She was a much-loved child.

172
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,720
She was a much-loved child.

173
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,600
At times, she felt...

174
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,400
um, there was more affection
given elsewhere in the family,

175
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:04,000
but she was a very much-loved child.

176
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
but she was a very much-loved child.

177
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,640
But, drifted.

178
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,560
She definitely did drift.

179
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,000
I know she would've fallen out
with siblings from time to time,

180
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,040
I know she would've fallen out
with siblings from time to time,

181
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,520
and it would've been quite
fractious relationship at times.

182
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,400
And you look at
when she was growing up

183
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,000
was in the midst of
what was going on here

184
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,520
was in the midst of
what was going on here

185
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,240
during The Troubles.

186
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,880
So, it was quite a chaotic life,
and children would...

187
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,000
could get lost in that...
that atmosphere at that time.

188
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:28,560
could get lost in that...
that atmosphere at that time.

189
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,840
And she did.

190
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,200
In her 20s,
Charlotte experienced

191
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,000
some trouble with her mental health.

192
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,640
some trouble with her mental health.

193
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,840
She was getting treatment,
she was being looked after

194
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,520
by medical professionals,

195
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,000
but it looked like she was
getting onto a more stable footing.

196
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,600
but it looked like she was
getting onto a more stable footing.

197
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,960
She was a hard worker,

198
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,000
very hard worker,
never out of a job for long.

199
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000
very hard worker,
never out of a job for long.

200
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,800
Worked in the hospitality industry

201
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,960
either as waitressing

202
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
or front of house,
or those sort of things.

203
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,520
or front of house,
or those sort of things.

204
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,040
This was the young woman who,
in late 2010,

205
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,840
fell for chef Johnny Miller,

206
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:08,000
on the resort island of Lusty Beg.

207
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,320
on the resort island of Lusty Beg.

208
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,720
In early 2011,

209
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,000
32-year-old Charlotte
moved with Miller

210
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:16,720
32-year-old Charlotte
moved with Miller

211
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,240
to a small village in County Tyrone.

212
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,280
(SOFT, OMINOUS MUSIC)

213
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,560
They then moved to Moy,

214
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,800
where Johnny and Charlotte
got a job in the Cohannon Inn.

215
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,000
So they were both working together,
living together,

216
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:32,360
So they were both working together,
living together,

217
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,280
and living up
in Roxborough Heights in Moy.

218
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:40,000
Moy is a small village.

219
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,840
Moy is a small village.

220
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,160
It has a town square.

221
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:45,720
It's really a pretty village,

222
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,000
and the people
are very close to each other,

223
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,200
and the people
are very close to each other,

224
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,560
and everybody would be
friends with everybody.

225
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,000
In their new home,

226
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:56,800
In their new home,

227
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,000
Charlotte set about making a life
for herself with Miller.

228
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,000
It seems to have been
a good relationship to begin with.

229
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
It seems to have been
a good relationship to begin with.

230
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,880
She described him
as protective of her.

231
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,000
She was clearly very, very...

232
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:12,440
She was clearly very, very...

233
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,600
entranced by Mr. Miller.

234
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,080
But she would've been very...

235
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,000
I use this term respectfully, needy.

236
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,480
I use this term respectfully, needy.

237
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,200
She liked affection,

238
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,240
and I think we all do.

239
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,000
But she liked to have someone there
caring about her,

240
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:28,320
But she liked to have someone there
caring about her,

241
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,640
worrying about her,
looking after her.

242
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:32,760
She liked that and she needed it.

243
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,040
And that seemed
to give her some stability.

244
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,000
There was, perhaps,
a darker side to the bond

245
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,680
There was, perhaps,
a darker side to the bond

246
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,760
Charlotte and her new boyfriend

247
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,920
seemed to have quickly developed.

248
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:44,000
Two of them moved
quite quickly together;

249
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,960
Two of them moved
quite quickly together;

250
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,680
moved in together,
worked together.

251
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,000
It was very, very quick.

252
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,360
It was very, very quick.

253
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,520
She would've known
nobody except him.

254
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:58,840
All this happened
within three months,

255
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,000
and that's always a concerning sign

256
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,000
and that's always a concerning sign

257
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,080
because it can suggest
that there's a bit of

258
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,800
control in that relationship.

259
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,000
On the surface, though,
Charlotte seemed settled.

260
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,120
On the surface, though,
Charlotte seemed settled.

261
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:11,880
She got a little dog, Bella,

262
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,400
her pride and joy,

263
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,000
and the couple
made new friends in the area.

264
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,040
and the couple
made new friends in the area.

265
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,040
She was a regular in the local bar,

266
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,440
she had a group of friends.

267
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,280
On the 29th of February, 2012,
leap year day,

268
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,440
Charlotte actually
proposed to Miller.

269
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,840
She said about getting married,
and he agreed.

270
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,400
She chose the ring
and he paid for it.

271
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,000
Charlotte seemed happy
to be engaged.

272
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,040
Charlotte seemed happy
to be engaged.

273
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,920
But her family was not invited
to share in her joy.

274
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,000
Despite living
just 35 miles from Moy,

275
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,360
Despite living
just 35 miles from Moy,

276
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,880
they never got to meet her fiance.

277
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:55,840
There was some Facebook contacts

278
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:56,000
and maybe the occasional phone call,

279
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,120
and maybe the occasional phone call,

280
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,200
but as far as the family knew,

281
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,000
she was simply with a new bloke.

282
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,000
She never took Miller to see them.

283
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:04,720
She never took Miller to see them.

When Charlotte Murray's family

285
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,600
finally came face-to-face

286
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,000
with Johnny Miller 13 months later,

287
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,400
with Johnny Miller 13 months later,

288
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,480
they would not be celebrating
the couple's engagement.

289
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,520
Instead, they'd be
desperately searching

290
00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:20,000
for a missing person.

291
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,120
for a missing person.

NARRATOR: In the spring of 2012,

294
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,000
while living with
her boyfriend, Johnny Miller,

295
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:36,720
while living with
her boyfriend, Johnny Miller,

296
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,720
in the village of Moy
in County Tyrone,

297
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,600
33-year-old Charlotte Murray

298
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,000
became increasingly isolated

299
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:44,160
became increasingly isolated

300
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,760
from her mother and siblings.

301
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,840
I think there was some determination

302
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,840
on the part of Johnny Miller to...

303
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,000
isolate and control Charlotte.

304
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,800
isolate and control Charlotte.

305
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,520
There was one peculiar instance

306
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:00,000
where Charlotte rang her mother

307
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,360
where Charlotte rang her mother

308
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,440
when she was living with Johnny.

309
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,000
And the mother recounts
this conversation where

310
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:08,800
And the mother recounts
this conversation where

311
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,640
the male voice in the background
was saying,

312
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:12,680
"They don't love you anymore."

313
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,000
Now, how was she being
controlled in that environment?

314
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:16,320
Now, how was she being
controlled in that environment?

315
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,160
We don't know.

WANSELL: Significantly,
very shortly after

00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,760
Charlotte proposed to Miller,

319

the twins fell out.

Working together,

321
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,000
living together,
socialising together,

00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,760
living together,
socialising together,

323
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,400
they were always together.

324

Same group of friends,
same group of everything.

325
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,000
Charlotte probably couldn't have
confided in anybody

326
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,800
Charlotte probably couldn't have
confided in anybody

327
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,640
if there was an issue.

328
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,680
Another concerning thing
that we find out about Johnny Miller

329
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,960
is that he was porn addicted,

330
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,000
and that he used to regularly

331
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,240
and that he used to regularly

332
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,160
seek the services of sex workers.

333
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,000
Those things are really
big red flags.

334
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:04,680
Those things are really
big red flags.

335
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,960
You put those two things together

336
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,320
and you probably have a man
who's quite misogynistic.

00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,800
In the autumn of 2012,

340
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,960
there was another troubling incident

341
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,000
in Miller and Charlotte's
relationship.

342
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,520
In the middle of October, 2012,

343
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:28,000
she and Miller make a sex tape...

344
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,040
she and Miller make a sex tape...

345
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,160
obviously extremely explicit,

346
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,960
which Miller then urges her

347
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,000
to send to her ex-boyfriend
in Belfast.

348
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,480
The idea was to say, you know,
"Well she's mine now," type thing.

349
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,000
Given what we know
about his behaviour,

350
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:44,240
Given what we know
about his behaviour,

351
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,560
I would be very suspicious

352
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,520
that Charlotte entered into that

353
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:50,360
quite willingly.

354
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,000
I think she probably didn't.

355
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:52,320
I think she probably didn't.

356
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,240
He's also treating her

357
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,160
almost as if she's a commodity,
as if she's throwaway.

358
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,000
If you really cared for
and loved someone,

359
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,280
If you really cared for
and loved someone,

360
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,840
you wouldn't put them
in a position where they were doing

361
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,800
anything that they felt
very uncomfortable with.

362
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,160
There did seem to be
a jealous streak there at times,

363
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,280
even though he played
this very blase.

364
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,000
I don't know that he was
in a protective way.

365
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,600
I don't know that he was
in a protective way.

366
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,960
I think it was more his male ego

367
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,680
that she would dare
see somebody else.

368
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,520
It was around this time that
Charlotte went to a professional

369
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,040
to seek help for her mental health

370
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,000
and to express misgivings about
her relationship with Johnny Miller.

371
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,880
and to express misgivings about
her relationship with Johnny Miller.

372
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,760
Charlotte goes to see a doctor

373
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:40,000
and says, "I'm very depressed

374
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,960
and says, "I'm very depressed

375
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,080
and I'm thinking of harming myself."

376
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,600
It was a sort of appeal for help.

377
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,000
She feels overwhelmed
and she just needed space.

378
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,600
She feels overwhelmed
and she just needed space.

379
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,320
But she tells the psychiatrist
that she's not suicidal.

380
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,000
She likes life
and she wants to be part of it.

381
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,440
She likes life
and she wants to be part of it.

382
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,400
She told the doctor

383
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,400
that she wanted to leave Miller,

384
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,000
but was afraid of being alone.

385
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,520
You can entirely understand
those feelings.

386
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,000
Like the moth and the flame,
she can't quite tear herself away.

387
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:12,520
Like the moth and the flame,
she can't quite tear herself away.

388
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,960
A few days later,
on the 20th of October,

389
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
came an incident that exposed

390
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,920
just how much the couple's
relationship had soured.

391
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,680
Charlotte, Miller,
and their friend, Kieran,

392
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,000
go out to the pub for a drink.

393
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:28,560
go out to the pub for a drink.

394
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,080
They were celebrating
a birthday in Bishop's bar.

395
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,000
They all left together,

396
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,520
but they just went different ways.

397
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,000
Charlotte and Kieran
ended up outside his house,

398
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,000
and at that point,
they went into the house.

399
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,040
and at that point,
they went into the house.

400
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,360
Johnny Miller was disturbed

401
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,000
when Charlotte didn't come home
that night.

402
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,880
And then he is ringing Charlotte,
ringing, ringing, no answer.

403
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,000
We know he was down
knocking on the house.

404
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000
We know he was down
knocking on the house.

405
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,800
After searching the streets
until four in the morning,

406
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,440
Miller went home.

407
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,000
Suspecting infidelity,
Miller told friends

408
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,760
Suspecting infidelity,
Miller told friends

409
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,960
this was the last straw
for him and Charlotte.

410
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,000
I suspect that he then

411
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:16,520
I suspect that he then

412
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,120
really did lose his temper with her.

413
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,280
And the relationship,
which had already been tense,

414
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,000
was even tenser.

415
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:24,120
was even tenser.

416
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,320
It was a precarious moment

417
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,880
for a woman with a jealous
and controlling fiance.

418
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:32,000
That was potentially
an incredibly dangerous situation

419
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,600
That was potentially
an incredibly dangerous situation

420
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,240
for Charlotte to be in.

421
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:40,000
Ten days later,

422
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,280
Ten days later,

423
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,160
Miller began telling
his and Charlotte's friends in Moy

424
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,200
that the engagement was off.

425
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,080
Johnny was just telling them,
"Oh, she she's gone to Belfast.

426
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,000
She's...
We've broke up, she's away."

427
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,000
Charlotte seemed to have been
planning to leave Miller.

428
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,000
Charlotte seemed to have been
planning to leave Miller.

429
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,880
She had been for
a job interview in Belfast.

430
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,040
But had Charlotte really left

431
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,000
for a new life in the capital?

432
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,240
for a new life in the capital?

433
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,840
That would, you know,
raise the hackles on my neck.

434
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,000
If you are in a relationship
with a controlling person,

435
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,320
If you are in a relationship
with a controlling person,

436
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:15,720
the most common trigger

437
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,880
that predicts homicide

438
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,000
is that you are attempting
to leave them or you have left them.

439
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,440
is that you are attempting
to leave them or you have left them.

440
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,000
11 weeks later, in December 2012,

441
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,160
11 weeks later, in December 2012,

442
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,120
in Omagh, County Tyrone,

443
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,280
Denise Murray
expected to celebrate her birthday

444
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,000
with twin sister, Charlotte,

445
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:36,200
with twin sister, Charlotte,

446
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,160
just as they always did.

447
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,640
The two were turning 34.

448
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Charlotte was not always
in touch with them,

449
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,560
Charlotte was not always
in touch with them,

450
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,280
but she never let
a Christmas go by

451
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,040
or a birthday go by
that she didn't get in touch.

452
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,000
That year,

453
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:52,400
That year,

454
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,480
Christmas and the twins' birthday
came and went

455
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,920
without a word from Charlotte.

456
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:00,000
There's not a sign of her.
Nothing. She's disappeared.

457
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,320
There's not a sign of her.
Nothing. She's disappeared.

458
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:04,800
As such a large family,

459
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,360
they all thought somebody else
had been talking to Charlotte

460
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:08,000
until it came to Christmas
and they said

461
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,120
until it came to Christmas
and they said

462
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,880
nobody's heard from her.
And then that's what prompted them

463
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,960
to start looking further
into this themselves.

464
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
And it was a blessing
that she had that family behind her

465
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,280
And it was a blessing
that she had that family behind her

466
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,080
to ask those questions, at the time.

467
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:23,920
They then started
contacting Johnny after that

468
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:24,000
to see had he seen Charlotte,
when's the last time you saw her?

469
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,960
to see had he seen Charlotte,
when's the last time you saw her?

470
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,760
"Well, Charlotte left.
Charlotte's just taken off.

471
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:32,000
Oh, I dunno where she's gone.
I'm not sure."

472
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,080
Oh, I dunno where she's gone.
I'm not sure."

473
00:18:34,120 --> 00:18:36,200
Miller told Charlotte's family

474
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,720
that she had left him
around Halloween 2012.

475
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:40,000
FOWLES:
He kept assuring it was all right.

476
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,320
FOWLES:
He kept assuring it was all right.

477
00:18:42,360 --> 00:18:44,880
"We've split up,
what do you want me to tell you?

478
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,880
You know, she's not
my problem anymore."

479
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,000
Miller would say that, "Oh,
she texted me the other day there,

480
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,400
Miller would say that, "Oh,
she texted me the other day there,

481
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,240
she's met some new guy,"

482
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,720
and was very flippant about it.

483
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,000
I think at one point
he suggests to them

484
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:56,040
I think at one point
he suggests to them

485
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,920
that she might have gone to Belfast
to work in a call centre.

486
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,120
January, February that year,

487
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,000
he arranged to meet them
and brought them

488
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:04,480
he arranged to meet them
and brought them

489
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,720
a box of her belongings,

490
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,920
which was really very little

491
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,000
of her actual belongings,
and said that's all she'd left.

492
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:12,240
of her actual belongings,
and said that's all she'd left.

493
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,120
Miller told Charlotte's family

494
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,040
she'd left behind her car,

495
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,000
which by this time, was long gone.

496
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:20,040
which by this time, was long gone.

497
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,320
He said that she told him
to sell the car

498
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:24,640
because she owed him rent money.

499
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,440
She left her laptop.

500
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,000
Anything of value,
she seems to have left behind.

501
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:28,400
Anything of value,
she seems to have left behind.

502
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,120
What really struck
Charlotte's mother

503
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,920
and siblings as strange

504
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,000
was the fact she'd left
her beloved dog behind in Moy.

505
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:37,200
was the fact she'd left
her beloved dog behind in Moy.

506
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,120
She never went anywhere
without Bella, her dog.

507
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,080
And she was her pride and joy.

508
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,000
This wasn't normal behaviour,

509
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,440
This wasn't normal behaviour,

510
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,080
not normal for Charlotte.

511
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:49,120
If it was Charlotte's car,
she would've taken it.

512
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,280
If it was Charlotte's dog,
she would've taken it.

513
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,000
Miller seemed very evasive,

514
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,880
Miller seemed very evasive,

515
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,080
not answering direct questions,

516
00:19:56,120 --> 00:19:58,760
and just seemed
very fidgety and edgy.

517
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,000
And didn't...
didn't want to be there.

518
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,040
And didn't...
didn't want to be there.

519
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,280
And it raised concerns.

520
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,160
With horror,
Charlotte's family realised

521
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,000
they couldn't find anyone
who had spoken to her

522
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,400
they couldn't find anyone
who had spoken to her

523
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:11,840
in over five months.

524
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,520
On the 13th of March, 2013,

525
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,000
they reported her missing.

526
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:16,880
they reported her missing.

527
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,800
Would the police manage to discover

528
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,280
Charlotte's whereabouts?

529
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,960
And would she be found

530
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
safe and sound?

531
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,080
safe and sound?

NARRATOR: In May 2013,

535
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,000
Police Service Northern Ireland

536
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:40,880
Police Service Northern Ireland

537
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,280
launched a missing persons enquiry

538
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,120
to locate 34-year-old
Charlotte Murray,

539
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,000
who hadn't been seen
by her fiance, Johnny Miller,

540
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,320
who hadn't been seen
by her fiance, Johnny Miller,

541
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:51,400
since the previous October.

542
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,000
Missing persons investigations
are always complicated things

543
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:56,280
Missing persons investigations
are always complicated things

544
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,960
because they...
the police, quite rightly,

545
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,040
say, "Well, perhaps
she just wanted to disappear.

546
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,880
Perhaps she had enough."

547
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,080
Often, you don't really even know
when someone was last seen,

548
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:10,040
particularly if people are lying,

549
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,920
or particularly if
a lot of time has gone by.

550
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:12,000
The public,
often trying to be helpful,

551
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,360
The public,
often trying to be helpful,

552
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,840
ring in tips
and sightings and things,

553
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,600
which are very often wrong,

554
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,000
and leads the police into the wrong
direction, down the wrong path.

555
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,520
and leads the police into the wrong
direction, down the wrong path.

556
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,560
Are they still alive? Did they
go away of their own accord?

557
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,000
When the police knocked on
42-year-old Johnny Miller's door,

558
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,280
When the police knocked on
42-year-old Johnny Miller's door,

559
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,800
this is exactly
what he claimed had happened.

560
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,200
BRANNIGAN: Johnny,
in his first statement to police,

561
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,000
as a witness, in March,

562
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,160
as a witness, in March,

563
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,520
said that no,
she'd just gone up to Belfast.

564
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,040
And then his, uh...

565
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:44,000
his story was that while in work,

566
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,000
his story was that while in work,

567
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,360
he got a text...
(TEXT CHIMES)

568
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,440
..to say she was calling around
to the house to pick up her stuff.

569
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,120
And when he got home,
her stuff was gone.

570
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:52,000
It appeared that Charlotte

571
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000
It appeared that Charlotte

572
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,720
had also told
other people in her life

573
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,240
that she needed a change of scenery.

574
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:00,000
On the 1st of November, 5:15 AM,

575
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,120
On the 1st of November, 5:15 AM,

576
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,120
Charlotte apparently
posts on Facebook.

577
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,920
"I've had enough.
I'm going away for a while!"

578
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:08,000
I think she says,
"I'm pissed off with life."

579
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,920
I think she says,
"I'm pissed off with life."

580
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,960
She also texts one or two friends

581
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,920
saying "I'm going away for a while."

582
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,000
And Miller claims that
he's received texts from Charlotte

583
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,520
And Miller claims that
he's received texts from Charlotte

584
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,360
saying that she's going away.

Detectives needed to find out

587
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,880
just left Moy of her own accord.

588
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,840
She hadn't registered
a mobile phone.

589
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,320
She hadn't used a bank account.

590
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:32,000
Her lifestyle told us
that she could not operate,

591
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,320
Her lifestyle told us
that she could not operate,

592
00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:36,040
for any period of time,

593
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,040
without coming in contact
with the state.

594
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:40,000
She's not seeing any
medical professionals.

595
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,480
She's not seeing any
medical professionals.

596
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:43,920
She's not going to the dentist.

597
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,800
The police also needed to rule out

598
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,000
the possibility Charlotte
had taken her own life.

599
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,080
the possibility Charlotte
had taken her own life.

600
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:55,880
If anyone's ever had
an episode in their life

601
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:56,000
where they've been unhappy,
it seems...

602
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,560
where they've been unhappy,
it seems...

603
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,760
often the leap is made
that perhaps this is a suicide case.

604
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,960
At the time, we looked at it,

605
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,680
and if she had been...

606
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,000
severely depressed
or suicidal at the time,

607
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,960
you were really focused on

608
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,000
the fact that she'd
taken her own life.

609
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,120
the fact that she'd
taken her own life.

610
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,120
But there was nothing there
to tell us

611
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,600
that this was what
had actually happened there.

612
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,000
MONCKTON-SMITH:
Charlotte's body wasn't found.

613
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,520
MONCKTON-SMITH:
Charlotte's body wasn't found.

614
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,640
And...

615
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,240
it is quite difficult,

616
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,000
depending on how you plan
to take your own life,

617
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,800
depending on how you plan
to take your own life,

618
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,320
to make sure your body's
completely hidden.

619
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:36,000
Even if you jump
off a boat into the sea

620
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:36,440
Even if you jump
off a boat into the sea

621
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,000
and your body is completely
hidden for a while,

622
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,800
it usually, you know,
it will get found at some point.

623
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,000
It's a very,
very difficult thing to do,

624
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,880
It's a very,
very difficult thing to do,

625
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,160
to take your own life and
for your body never to be found.

626
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,680
No body had been found,

627
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:52,000
but nor was there any sign
that Charlotte Murray

628
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,600
but nor was there any sign
that Charlotte Murray

629
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,880
was alive and living
her life elsewhere.

630
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,000
Once the proof of life
inquiries had proved...

631
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,440
Once the proof of life
inquiries had proved...

632
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,800
or shown no existence of this...

633
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,800
of this lady, um...

634
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,000
it then becomes a murder inquiry.

635
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,520
it then becomes a murder inquiry.

636
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,240
And when the major investigations
team took on the case,

637
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,000
the first person they looked at

638
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:16,280
the first person they looked at

639
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,040
was the last person
to have seen Charlotte alive.

640
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,000
Johnny Miller was declared
a suspect June, 2013.

641
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:24,360
Johnny Miller was declared
a suspect June, 2013.

642
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,480
At that point, you're able to then
get warrants for the house.

643
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,960
There was searches
done of the garden

644
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
and forensic analysis
done of the house,

645
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:32,360
and forensic analysis
done of the house,

646
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,200
and it was declared a scene.

647
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,000
They find some blood spatters

648
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:40,240
They find some blood spatters

649
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,840
in the bathroom
of the house they shared.

650
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,000
FOWLES:
The forensics took the house apart

651
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,200
FOWLES:
The forensics took the house apart

652
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,400
and found blood in the bathroom.

653
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,320
They actually unscrewed the...

654
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:03,640
waste pipe from the toilet,

655
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,000
took it off,

656
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,360
took it off,

657
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,280
and there were little traces
of blood in there.

658
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,320
And that was Charlotte's blood.

659
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,000
They found a number
of areas of blood,

660
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,640
They found a number
of areas of blood,

661
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,640
which were...

662
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,680
down the panels of the bath.

663
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,000
There was crevices
down the panel of the bath.

664
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,560
There was crevices
down the panel of the bath.

665
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,120
There was some in there,
Charlotte's blood.

666
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,000
There was blood
underneath the waste pipe,

667
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,000
where it would've dripped down
underneath the waste pipe.

668
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,680
where it would've dripped down
underneath the waste pipe.

669
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,880
It was a find that suggested
large quantities of blood

670
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,000
had been spilled in that bathroom.

671
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,560
had been spilled in that bathroom.

672
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,520
Miller was questioned
for a number of hours.

673
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,640
And he repeats
this rather strange story

674
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,080
about she might have gone
to work in Belfast.

675
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,000
I find it really surprising
that it happens quite often,

676
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,200
I find it really surprising
that it happens quite often,

677
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,160
that it seems to be accepted
that a woman who disappears

678
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,400
has just gone off
to start a new life somewhere.

679
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,000
I wonder how often
that actually ever really happens.

680
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:00,680
I wonder how often
that actually ever really happens.

681
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,080
So, it's bizarre to me
that that's so easily accepted

682
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:06,160
and I think it's often because
judgements are made

683
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,000
about a woman's lifestyle or past.

684
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:09,000
about a woman's lifestyle or past.

685
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,320
He was also able to explain away

686
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:13,160
the blood in the bathroom,

687
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,360
citing an accident that had happened

688
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:16,000
shortly before
Charlotte disappeared.

689
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,200
shortly before
Charlotte disappeared.

690
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,800
Charlotte had a cut.

691
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,000
She had seen
the minor injuries unit.

692
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:24,920
She had seen
the minor injuries unit.

693
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,200
Now, the cut was on
the upper right buttock,

694
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,240
and she claimed she had sat

695
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,000
on a light bulb.

696
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,320
on a light bulb.

697
00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:36,720
And I don't know if that...

698
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,880
was ever proved to be anything
other than what she said,

699
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,000
but she required, stitches,
so it was quite a deep cut.

700
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,520
but she required, stitches,
so it was quite a deep cut.

701
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,800
Despite their suspicions,

702
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,000
the police did not have
enough in July 2013

703
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,160
the police did not have
enough in July 2013

704
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,040
to charge Johnny Miller
with his fiancee's murder.

705
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,000
There was no smoking gun
at that point.

706
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:56,640
There was no smoking gun
at that point.

707
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,720
There was no motive at that point.

708
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,360
There was... So they had
very little to put to him.

709
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,680
With no body,
and no definitive proof

710
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,680
a crime had been committed,

711
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,000
police resources were diverted
to other cases.

712
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,400
police resources were diverted
to other cases.

713
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,000
In 2016, when Charlotte had been
missing for over three years,

714
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:20,280
In 2016, when Charlotte had been
missing for over three years,

715
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,440
DS James Brannigan joined
the major investigations team.

716
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,440
It was the first piece of work

717
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:28,000
I was given, back as a sergeant.

718
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,400
I was given, back as a sergeant.

719
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,760
I think missing persons cases
are so difficult,

720
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,000
and, you know, just to acknowledge

721
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,520
and, you know, just to acknowledge

722
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,360
it is really difficult
for the police as well

723
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,240
because there's no evidence at all.

724
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,800
There's no body,
often there's no crime scene.

725
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,560
But it was at that point
I started to do more work into it.

726
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,960
My attitude was people
just don't vanish and disappear.

727
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,640
Something has happened.

728
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,400
A visit to Omagh made DS Brannigan

729
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,000
even more determined

730
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,000
to get to the bottom
of Charlotte's disappearance.

731
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:00,920
to get to the bottom
of Charlotte's disappearance.

732
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,040
Even years later,

733
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,720
you could see how much
it was still impacting them.

734
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:08,000
These are the people you're...
you're doing this for.

735
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,040
These are the people you're...
you're doing this for.

736
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,040
And not just Charlotte.
They need the answers.

737
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,000
First of all,
detectives needed to make sure

738
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:16,040
First of all,
detectives needed to make sure

739
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,760
Charlotte hadn't turned up

740
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,880
living somewhere else
in the last three years.

741
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:24,000
The police carried out extensive

742
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,200
The police carried out extensive

743
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,840
proof of life inquiries,

744
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,680
credit card transactions,
sightings, everything.

745
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,000
And there were supposedly
a number of sightings.

746
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:32,960
And there were supposedly
a number of sightings.

747
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,720
One in Birmingham, one in Germany,

748
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,840
all these different areas.

749
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,320
There was some talk

750
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,000
that she may have been alive
and living in Dublin.

751
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,560
that she may have been alive
and living in Dublin.

752
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,240
That all had to be investigated
to the nth degree.

753
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,000
Plus all these other
Charlotte Murrays that appear

754
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,960
Plus all these other
Charlotte Murrays that appear

755
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,960
around the UK and Ireland,
they have to be spoken to.

756
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,320
Who's that Charlotte?
Is this our Charlotte?

757
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:56,000
There's thousands of inquiries,

758
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,960
There's thousands of inquiries,

759
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,800
thousands of requests
off to councils, hospitals,

760
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,000
police forces, banks, telecoms.

761
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,280
police forces, banks, telecoms.

762
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,440
Once satisfied that Charlotte
was no longer alive,

763
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,000
the next thing police
needed to identify was a motive.

764
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,440
the next thing police
needed to identify was a motive.

765
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,160
If Johnny Miller
had killed his fiancee,

766
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:19,920
why had he done it?

767
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:20,000
As detectives kept digging
into Charlotte's final days,

768
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,480
As detectives kept digging
into Charlotte's final days,

769
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,840
they made a disturbing discovery.

770
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:28,000
That there was intelligence
to say that there was...

771
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,920
That there was intelligence
to say that there was...

772
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,400
a certain individual
had naked images of Charlotte.

773
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,000
Two officers, all credit to 'em,
went out to speak to this person

774
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,600
Two officers, all credit to 'em,
went out to speak to this person

775
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,680
and he still had the phone

776
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,320
going back five years.

777
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,000
So, suddenly we had this phone
with naked images of Charlotte,

778
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:44,840
So, suddenly we had this phone
with naked images of Charlotte,

779
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,160
which were taken
on the 20th of October.

780
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,480
The 20th of October, 2012,

781
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,000
was just 11 days
before Charlotte was believed

782
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,440
was just 11 days
before Charlotte was believed

783
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,720
to have vanished.

784
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,120
Had Johnny Miller been aware of

785
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,000
the photos of his fiancee
taken with another man?

786
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,560
the photos of his fiancee
taken with another man?

787
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,680
Well, now the police have something

788
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,000
which they never had before: Motive.

789
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:08,200
which they never had before: Motive.

790
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,960
What if Miller was so infuriated
by those photographs

791
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,560
that he decided to kill her?

792
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,000
When detectives dived
into Johnny Miller's computer,

793
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,600
When detectives dived
into Johnny Miller's computer,

794
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:23,000
they discovered that on the night
of 31st October to 1st November,

795
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,000
he had been very, very busy.

796
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,080
he had been very, very busy.

797
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,360
Miller was online
looking to sell the engagement ring.

798
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,000
When questioned,
Miller tried to claim

799
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:32,200
When questioned,
Miller tried to claim

800
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,280
he'd been sent
the explicit images of Charlotte,

801
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,120
and as a result,
had decided to end their engagement.

802
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,160
He was gonna say, "I saw the images.

803
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,880
I was trying to sell
the engagement ring."

804
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,000
But there was an obvious flaw
in his story.

805
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:48,160
But there was an obvious flaw
in his story.

806
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,400
You did not get the images
till six o'clock.

807
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,680
So why are you trying to sell
the engagement ring

808
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,000
at three o'clock in the morning?

809
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:56,440
at three o'clock in the morning?

810
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,520
MONCKTON-SMITH:
The police found that Miller

811
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,760
had been accessing dating sites

812
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,000
just a couple of hours
after Charlotte went missing.

813
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,400
just a couple of hours
after Charlotte went missing.

814
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,800
It sounds like a really
strange thing to do.

815
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,840
He wasn't worrying about

816
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:12,000
where she was because...

817
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:12,800
where she was because...

818
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,400
he knew exactly where she was.

819
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,000
They also found that Charlotte's

820
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:20,640
They also found that Charlotte's

821
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,640
Facebook post

822
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,360
on the morning
after her disappearance,

823
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,600
which said that she was taking off,

824
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:28,000
"I'm pissed off with life,
I want a new one,"

825
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
"I'm pissed off with life,
I want a new one,"

826
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,080
had been sent from my IP address
identical to the one

827
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,760
that Miller had been using,

828
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:36,000
searching dating sites
that same day.

829
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,840
searching dating sites
that same day.

830
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,920
Cell site analysis also cast doubt

831
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,000
on the goodbye messages
Charlotte had apparently sent

832
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,640
on the goodbye messages
Charlotte had apparently sent

833
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,800
in the days after Halloween.

834
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,920
You can see when Charlotte
went to Belfast

835
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:52,000
on the 30th of October,
she went up for a job interview.

836
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,360
on the 30th of October,
she went up for a job interview.

837
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,160
You can see her car
and her phone going up to Belfast.

838
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,640
You can see her car and phone
coming back down...

839
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,760
connecting to the cells
as she came back down to Moy.

840
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,240
When she disappeared,

841
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,000
her phone didn't leave Moy.

842
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:08,320
her phone didn't leave Moy.

843
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,720
So we believe it was Johnny

844
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,440
making these texts,
closing her life down,

845
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,000
and texting her friend,

846
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:16,040
and texting her friend,

847
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,280
Michelle, to say,
I'm taking time out

848
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,160
and I'll give you a shout
at some point in the future.

849
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,920
So, Michelle then
would stop looking for her.

850
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,760
Circumstantial evidence

851
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,360
was stacking up
against Johnny Miller.

852
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,000
But there was still no smoking gun.

853
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,520
But there was still no smoking gun.

854
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,920
Would it be enough
to persuade a jury

855
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,040
he was a callous killer?

NARRATOR:
On the 24th of October, 2017,

859
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,000
almost five years
after Charlotte Murray

860
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,800
almost five years
after Charlotte Murray

861
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,840
was last seen alive,

862
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:03,000
her fiance,
46-year-old Johnny Miller,

863
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,000
was charged with her murder.

864
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,240
was charged with her murder.

865
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,280
The news was a bombshell

866
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,000
for the small community
of Moy, County Tyrone,

867
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:12,680
for the small community
of Moy, County Tyrone,

868
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:17,000
where Miller and 34-year-old
Charlotte had lived.

869
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:18,760
Shock was the big thing.

870
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,000
Because nobody expected it
to be murder.

871
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,560
Because nobody expected it
to be murder.

872
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,960
Missing, runaway,

873
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,760
probably thought
all sorts of things,

874
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,320
but nobody expected it to be murder.

875
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:28,000
And I don't think
anybody expected it to be Johnny.

876
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,200
And I don't think
anybody expected it to be Johnny.

877
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,120
THE Johnny...

878
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:33,600
in the village,

879
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,000
'cause he was very likeable,
everybody knew him.

880
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:36,160
'cause he was very likeable,
everybody knew him.

881
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,640
And he carried on living there,

882
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,240
mixed with the same people.

883
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,000
And probably felt
quite sorry for him

884
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:44,320
And probably felt
quite sorry for him

885
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,360
because, you know,
she's just cleared off

886
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,080
and left me with half the rent

887
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,560
and left me with her dog.

888
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,000
I do find that people
are often very quick to...

889
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,120
I do find that people
are often very quick to...

890
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,280
believe what a man says
about a woman

891
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,320
and to make assumptions
about a woman

892
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,760
based on past behaviour or history,

893
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:00,000
lifestyle, anything like that.

894
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,760
lifestyle, anything like that.

895
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,360
I suppose that's partly because
it is quite a huge cognitive leap

896
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,480
that a man that you know
and you care about

897
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:08,000
could have a violent side.

898
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:08,960
could have a violent side.

899
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
(SOLEMN MUSIC)

900
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,880
The trial begins
at Dungannon Crown Court

901
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,000
on the 11th of September, 2019,

902
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,960
on the 11th of September, 2019,

903
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,960
and Miller pleads

904
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,680
not guilty.

905
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:24,000
Journalist, Tanya Fowles,

906
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,520
Journalist, Tanya Fowles,

907
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,280
attended every day of the trial,

908
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,000
as did Charlotte's grieving family,

909
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,000
including her identical twin,
Denise.

910
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,880
including her identical twin,
Denise.

911
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,840
Every time we were
talking about Charlotte

912
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,440
and you look to your left,

913
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:40,000
you just swore she was
sitting in the gallery.

914
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,120
you just swore she was
sitting in the gallery.

915
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,640
She was so like her.

916
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,880
The atmosphere...

917
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,000
it was frightening at times.

918
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,160
it was frightening at times.

919
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:50,600
You have the dock

920
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,200
and you have the gallery,
where the families are,

921
00:34:53,240 --> 00:34:55,520
and they're keeping them
very much apart.

922
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,000
One side fighting for his innocence,

923
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,960
one side fighting for
a verdict of guilty.

924
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,960
The prosecution argue, of course...

925
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,000
that the photographs,

926
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:12,600
that the photographs,

927
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,160
the naked photographs,

928
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,480
are the motive that Miller has used.

929
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,800
And there was a marvellous phrase

930
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:20,000
used by the prosecution
at one point said

931
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,040
used by the prosecution
at one point said

932
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,160
"They were the last straw.

933
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,240
You were being shown as a cuckold."

934
00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:30,400
Our main evidence was his statement

935
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,240
and the cell site
information we had.

936
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,440
The fact that we could prove
she's no longer alive

937
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:36,000
and she has not left the Moy.

938
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:36,880
and she has not left the Moy.

939
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:38,440
She did not leave the Moy.

940
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,000
He's saying she left in a van.

941
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,920
He's saying she left
to go to Belfast.

942
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,200
We can prove she never left.

943
00:35:43,240 --> 00:35:44,000
And her phone never left Moy.

944
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,760
And her phone never left Moy.

945
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,400
What he was doing
on the 31st on his computer,

946
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,160
we can see image by image

947
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,000
of a screenshot of his machine
of what he's doing.

948
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:52,720
of a screenshot of his machine
of what he's doing.

949
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,520
He's up all night
working on his computer.

950
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,560
He's trying to sell
the engagement ring.

951
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,000
Fascinatingly,
when she disappeared, 2012,

952
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,560
Fascinatingly,
when she disappeared, 2012,

953
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,840
Miller had bought an axe and a saw

954
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,000
as what he said was
a Christmas present for his father.

955
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,000
as what he said was
a Christmas present for his father.

956
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,040
He bought items; carpet cleaner

957
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,920
and some tools.

958
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,000
Over four days on the stand,

959
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,200
Over four days on the stand,

960
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:19,040
chef Johnny Miller

961
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,600
tried to explain away
all of the inconsistencies

962
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,000
in his stories.

963
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:24,440
in his stories.

964
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:30,520
He was completely passive
in the dock.

965
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,000
He never showed any stress.

966
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:32,880
He never showed any stress.

967
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,800
He was completely relaxed
in the witness box.

968
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:40,000
He was so...
arm up on the back of the chair,

969
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:40,880
He was so...
arm up on the back of the chair,

970
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,880
very casual, you know.

971
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,360
"I'm here to help."
Very, very charming.

972
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,840
Very, 'I'm so likeable.'

973
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:55,280
Johnny Miller, we know,
was an incredibly misogynistic

974
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,000
and controlling

975
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,360
and controlling

976
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,440
predatory man,

977
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,640
but he was also...

978
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,000
quite charming when he wanted to be,

979
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,040
quite charming when he wanted to be,

980
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:09,640
and he could be friendly
and he could draw people to him.

981
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,000
On the 7th of October, 2019,

982
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:12,760
On the 7th of October, 2019,

983
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,120
the jury retired
to consider its verdict.

984
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:19,440
I'll never forget it,
'cause you're sitting waiting.

985
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:20,000
You can't do anything. But...

986
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,520
You can't do anything. But...

987
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,600
you know,
you hardly sleep that night.

988
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,720
You're going over everything.

989
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,000
FOWLES: 45 minutes into
the deliberation the next day,

990
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:28,720
FOWLES: 45 minutes into
the deliberation the next day,

991
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,400
his lawyer came running out

992
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,080
and said, (SOFTLY)
"Johnny, come on, verdict."

993
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,000
Johnny's out having a smoke,
flicks the cigarette,

994
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,920
Johnny's out having a smoke,
flicks the cigarette,

995
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,120
very calm. Very, very calm.

996
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,080
But there was something
about his lawyer's face

997
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:44,000
that made me think,
"Hey, this is too quick."

998
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,240
that made me think,
"Hey, this is too quick."

999
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,440
And you're looking
across to the family.

1000
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,160
They're all in tears at this point.

1001
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,440
In the dock, Miller stood

1002
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:52,000
ready to hear his fate.

1003
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,880
ready to hear his fate.

1004
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,360
"How do you find the defendant

1005
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,000
on the charge of murder?"

1006
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:00,080
on the charge of murder?"

1007
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,840
And they went, "Guilty."

1008
00:38:04,720 --> 00:38:06,200
And he drops.

1009
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:08,000
He just (GASPS)
and drops into the seat.

1010
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:08,680
He just (GASPS)
and drops into the seat.

1011
00:38:08,720 --> 00:38:11,200
His mother is in hysterics

1012
00:38:11,240 --> 00:38:13,720
and two of Charlotte's family
just...

1013
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,600
little soft clap.

1014
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:16,000
It was highly charged.

1015
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,840
It was highly charged.

1016
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,520
The relief is... is unreal.

1017
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,000
Years of work.
You see the family, they're...

1018
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:25,400
Years of work.
You see the family, they're...

1019
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,640
in tears, colleagues in tears,

1020
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,040
and you see you've...
put all this work in

1021
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,000
to this for that family, and...

1022
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,000
to this for that family, and...

1023
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,240
it's just such a relief.

1024
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,880
Miller was given life
with a minimum of 16 years.

1025
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,040
Miller was then only 48,

1026
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,000
which theoretically means
he's eligible for parole

1027
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:48,720
which theoretically means
he's eligible for parole

1028
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,440
in his mid 60s.

1029
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,040
In the wake of his conviction,

1030
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,000
Charlotte's twin sister, Denise,

1031
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,840
and the family demand

1032
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,280
that he tell 'em what he did...

1033
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,000
with Charlotte's body.

1034
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:04,080
with Charlotte's body.

1035
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:07,560
He steadfastly refused to do so.

1036
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,000
They are a family grieving,
they're trying to get closure,

1037
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,920
They are a family grieving,
they're trying to get closure,

1038
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,760
they are struggling terribly.

1039
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,000
and it's not going to be right
until Charlotte's found.

1040
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:20,320
and it's not going to be right
until Charlotte's found.

1041
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:25,080
And Charlotte's sister
made a really emotional appeal.

1042
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:28,000
"Do the right thing,
do the honourable thing,

1043
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:28,120
"Do the right thing,
do the honourable thing,

1044
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,000
tell us where she is."

1045
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,440
And that's the way
they're living at the minute.

1046
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:39,680
Johnny Miller had, however,
given detectives

1047
00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:41,600
a clue they hoped

1048
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,000
might lead to Charlotte's remains.

1049
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:44,480
might lead to Charlotte's remains.

1050
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,480
We are about six miles outside Moy

1051
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:52,000
in a old quarry,

1052
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:52,720
in a old quarry,

1053
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,320
flooded quarry, in Benburb,

1054
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,920
which is just next to
Benburb Priory.

1055
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,160
He had said in his evidence
that he was down here

1056
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:00,000
at half six the morning
after she disappeared.

1057
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,520
at half six the morning
after she disappeared.

1058
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,080
It's extremely isolated.

1059
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,560
We first searched the ground area.

1060
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,000
It was, I believe, 2018.

1061
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,120
It was, I believe, 2018.

1062
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,960
We were searching the... the bank

1063
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,400
of the quarry and we had
divers in the quarry.

1064
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:19,880
It's quite murky down there,

1065
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,280
so they couldn't see much.

1066
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:22,920
So we then had sonar,

1067
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,000
a boat in with sonar.

1068
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:24,280
a boat in with sonar.

1069
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,120
So, they mapped out
the whole bottom of the quarry,

1070
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,720
but the dog gave the biggest
indication up on the bank

1071
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,560
of human remains.

1072
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,640
With strong signs that a body

1073
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,320
may have been disposed of
at the quarry,

1074
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,000
the decision was made to drain it.

1075
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:40,880
the decision was made to drain it.

1076
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,920
And it was...

1077
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,120
It was a long, long wait
watching it go down,

1078
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,000
'cause we couldn't search
till it was drained.

1079
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:48,040
'cause we couldn't search
till it was drained.

1080
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,280
There were bones found,

1081
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,600
a lot of bones,
but all animal bones,

1082
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,800
where people had discarded
animals in here.

1083
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,480
It was tense because the family
were here a lot of time as well.

1084
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,560
And we really were hopeful that

1085
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:04,000
her remains could be located here
to give the family some closure

1086
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,440
her remains could be located here
to give the family some closure

1087
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,400
from that side of it.
They had the conviction,

1088
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,000
but they still haven't that...
they don't have Charlotte.

1089
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:12,040
but they still haven't that...
they don't have Charlotte.

1090
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,280
After days of determined searching,

1091
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:19,160
there was no resolution
for Charlotte's loving family.

1092
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:25,080
Years later,
the search for Charlotte continues,

1093
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,000
and those at the very top
of Northern Ireland's government

1094
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:28,600
and those at the very top
of Northern Ireland's government

1095
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,840
have dedicated themselves

1096
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,080
to the campaign for justice.

1097
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,000
Charlotte's body
has never been found.

1098
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:36,400
Charlotte's body
has never been found.

1099
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,600
To lose a loved one in such...

1100
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,360
violent circumstances, is in itself

1101
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:43,880
incredibly distressing.

1102
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:44,000
But to have that pain and anguish
compounded by the fact

1103
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,000
But to have that pain and anguish
compounded by the fact

1104
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,160
that you can never
have a memorial for that person,

1105
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,000
to not have the ability
to be able to bury their loved one,

1106
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,360
to not have the ability
to be able to bury their loved one,

1107
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,680
to not have the ability to...

1108
00:41:55,720 --> 00:41:57,600
to take flowers on a birthday

1109
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,000
or to visit the graveside
at Christmas,

1110
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:00,160
or to visit the graveside
at Christmas,

1111
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,840
it's incredibly distressing
for families.

1112
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:07,240
In the aftermath
of Johnny Miller's conviction,

1113
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,000
Charlotte's family is campaigning

1114
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,360
Charlotte's family is campaigning

1115
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,320
for new legislation
that would force killers like him

1116
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,000
to reveal where they've concealed
their victim's body.

1117
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:16,680
to reveal where they've concealed
their victim's body.

1118
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,760
The families came to me here
with a proposal for Charlotte's Law.

1119
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,000
So we worked with
the families very closely

1120
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:24,240
So we worked with
the families very closely

1121
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:27,120
and looked at how
at each stage of the process

1122
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,960
we would be able to incentivise

1123
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,000
for the perpetrator to actually...

1124
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,640
for the perpetrator to actually...

1125
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,400
tell where the body was

1126
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,080
and give the families
that... that comfort.

1127
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:40,000
And there's a sort of sliding scale
that we are putting in place

1128
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,320
And there's a sort of sliding scale
that we are putting in place

1129
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,640
that the earlier that information
is released to the families,

1130
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,000
the more significant
the consideration will be

1131
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:48,480
the more significant
the consideration will be

1132
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,240
for the person in sentencing.

1133
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,720
You have to understand
this family's pain.

1134
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,000
And if the only way to do that
is to say to him,

1135
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,800
And if the only way to do that
is to say to him,

1136
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,160
"Your sentence
might be somewhat reduced."

1137
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,480
The family are willing
to accept that.

1138
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,440
By denying his guilt

1139
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,120
and refusing to reveal
where Charlotte's body can be found,

1140
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,000
Johnny Miller has denied
his victim's family

1141
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,480
Johnny Miller has denied
his victim's family

1142
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:18,040
the opportunity to let
their beloved daughter and sister

1143
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:20,000
rest in peace.

1144
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:20,120
rest in peace.

1145
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:25,560
By ending his fiancee's young life,

1146
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,000
then laying a trail of deception,

1147
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:28,280
then laying a trail of deception,

1148
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,920
Miller has proven himself to be

1149
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,160
one of the Britain's
most evil killers.
