There is a temptation, when telling the story of Katherine Knight, to begin at the end. With John Price. With Aberdeen. With the crime that made her name infamous. But by the time Price entered Knight's life, there was already a long history behind her. Three men, in particular, occupied important places in that history. David Kellett. David Saunders. John Chillingworth.

In February 2000, Katherine Mary Knight and John Price were known around Aberdeen as a couple. People saw them together. They knew Knight as a hard-working and highly skilled meatworker. Price was known as a well-liked man who worked in the local mining industry. To those around them, their relationship could appear ordinary. It wasn't.

On 28 February 2000, John Price went to court. He wasn't there because a crime had already happened. He was there because he was frightened that one might.

Every disappearance leaves behind a timeline. A sequence of moments that begins before someone is gone and continues after the world realises something has changed. In some cases, that timeline is clear. There are cameras. There are witnesses. There are physical clues that show investigators exactly where to look. But the disappearance of Bronwyn Winfield has always been different. Her case has been built from fragments. A family home. A locksmith visit. Witness

This exclusive subscriber episode goes beyond the main case episode and examines the investigation itself. From the eleven-day delay before Bronwyn was reported missing to the witness accounts, timeline reconstruction, and the significance of the Sandstone Crescent house, this episode explores the evidence detectives were forced to piece together years after the events of May 1993.

What happened to Bronwyn Winfield? Bronwyn was 31 years old when she vanished in May 1993. She was a mother of two young daughters, a daughter, a friend, and a woman whose life was much more than the mystery that would later surround her disappearance.
