Constance Marten and Mark Gordon

Once upon a time, a grown-up couple named Constance Marten and Mark Gordon disappeared! Their car was found smoking and empty near a town called Bolton. It was like they just vanished into thin air! This happened in the winter of 2023, and it started a big puzzle for everyone.

When Constance and Mark disappeared, their baby daughter was also missing. This made the police very worried. They started a super big search, with more than 200 helpers looking everywhere! They searched a huge area, as big as about 90 football fields, all around the towns of Brighton and Newhaven.

Sadly, the search for the baby had a very sad ending. The baby's body was found in a shopping bag. It was hidden in a little garden shed, not too far from where Constance and Mark were finally found by the police. It was a very, very sad discovery for everyone involved.

After a lot of time and two big trials, Constance Marten and Mark Gordon were found guilty. They were blamed for their baby's death because they didn't take good enough care of her. This story is a reminder that grown-ups have a very important job to keep children safe and healthy.
