City Homicide

City Homicide

Episode 40

A missing toddler. A despondent taskforce. A case handed over to Homicide when all hope is lost. This is no longer a lost babe they're searching for. This is now a murder investigation.

Stanley: Sometimes we're presented with something horribly familiar... A set of circumstances that seems to insist that we draw certain conclusions. We mustn't do that. We have to remain open to all possibilities. This is not Liverpool, in 1993.

The details are uncanny. Two young boys are seen leading a toddler away. They want to play rough, see what happens, until it’s all too late. A police force and the general public left with a terrible sense of deja vu.

The challenge for the team is sorting through the white lies, the pre-conceptions and a lack of reliable witnesses. No matter what, they can’t and won’t jump to conclusions. Even if this does feel like history repeating.

    I found this one really disturbing, not because it was particularly well made, but just the subject matter. It wasn't one of the best episodes of City Homicide, but certainly an emotive topic. I don't think anyone over 25 would easily forget the case of young James B in the UK, abducted from a shopping mall by 2 11 year olds, and obviously used as a dubious inspiration for this ep. All in all, it was way out of my comfort zone, and something to keep everyone busy and focus off ...
