The Disappearance of Charlene Downes (Full Documentary)
Video Overview & Insights
This true crime documentary follows the disappearance of 14-year-old Charlene from her home in Blackpool in 2003, with unprecedented access to Charlene's friends, family, suspects, and police. The information the police received would unveil what was considered to be Britain's first grooming gang scandal.
This is one of the cases where literally I could aee it going either way.
Despite the strength of the evidence, a suspect claimed he was only accused due to racism and a long-running personal vendetta against him by a member of the police force. Feeling let down by the system, the family continued campaigning for their missing daughter. But with Blackpool awash with rumors around Charlene's home life before she went missing, nothing was what it seemed.
This documentary was originally published in 2020 as a multi-part series on @VICE, and rereleased here for the first time in full.
Everyone knows what happened Especially her Mother and Father there just playing there part it's sad

Guessing this is related to Pakistani intelligence services. They do the same things as MSAD (Epstein)

1:27:15 the Rule book wasn’t bent love, you and your copper mates are. It’s a clear stitch up job.
(Yes the men they targeted are awful human beings who should have been in prison for different reasons, but all these corrupt officers did was make it harder to prosecute them for the stuff they actually did do.)

The family were active supporters of the EDL and BNP at the time. All too convenient to blame 2 Muslims. The brother couldn't live with the guilt - about what, I don't know.. but he ended up taking his own life. People should look closer to home. Want an indication of the mothers true nature? skip to 1:21 to see the venom in her face. She sweats profusely later in the documentary when asked about the convicted paedo who stayed in her house at the time Charlene went missing. Also at 1:46:50, her friend slips up when he is looking at the family home and says "that's the house Charlene went missing in". Seriously.. investigate the parents.

Some friends they are. Your mate goes missing, suspected murdered and your first instinct is to protect the people that did it to keep the money flowing.

If police are still lying (allegedly) all these years later what hope is there?
@lizard47saWhy not I thought Americans were ugly these people are like a different level.
@arch_stanton_unknownYou can tell by the officers face she is talking rubbish and remembers that woman when she was a kid but that’s the uk justice system for you!
@Grimes1993Outstanding documentary. What a shambles humanity is.
@lesleyegbert4807its sad that she will never get a proper burial or funeral that is what makes it all the more worse she can never rest as no ones where her remains are

@MegaCatlady66and wtf was he allowed to foster young girls who in their right mind though yea lets let him have young lasses they should be looked into as well as its fishy as hell
@MegaCatlady66the mother the lies just spill from her mouth she knew what was happening but did not care
@MegaCatlady66i live in Fleetwood i remember hearing this news and thought straight away funny business a few of us did it was no accident what that poor girl went through and so called mother and family knew it sick and twisted people may she find peace she didn't deserve what happened to her poor lass didn't stand a chance rest well child you was let down by so many people
@MegaCatlady66So the police had video of a sa of a minor and they dropped charges? This is appalling
@RainyRecollections48:26 then you should've stayed your ass in your OWN country. Anytime theres even a modicum of guilt for something vile they have to scream RACISM. More often than not, especially in the UK, thats all it takes.
@ShitTheBedFredMy God. That girl never stood a chance with those parents. So many people commenting who clearly have not bothered to watch the whole documentary…all so depressing.
@margueritefiereThe police attempted to stitch up two innocent shop keepers, but were unable to do so properly when the real PDFs were in their own homes.
@Picachu1964What a bunch of absolutely hideous people its like watching a serious version of The league of gentlemen!!!
@ajadjani9892The mother is acting not a single tear. Why? Do her and the sister know more than they are letting on?
@ajadjani9892What an absolute disaster.

@carpuskingusJesus how many failures of children in this is insane.
@choccycakesslets circle back to 4chan's famous adage "Islam is right about women" does this now ring differently? XD XD XD XD
@3v1lch0nkzI think the police did thier best, but the parents did not. To take men into your home were young children are is NOT right. God bless that child. She never stood a chance in that environment.. so many evil people .
@attract1234Is david cassidy " fat wallet " ??
@bike1214Ms doing Ms things. You all know what 'M' stands for.
@davism3800The police no exactly what's going on but are scared of loosing there jobs as they don't want to be called racist, and loose there jobs , this country is finished if your young get out whilst you can
@johnboy40671:07:03 " it's not burial place" then purses her lips to say "I'm absolutely sure it's not" if you are so sure, why is your mouth trying so hard to stop you saying those words? I wonder how many other dirty M P's she's got off?

@JoanneAnderson-tn2jfNo one had Charlene’s best interest at heart. No one was caring for her or watching over her….and I do mean no one
@bonniephelps9481Just for the avoidance of doubt, a CHILD under the age of 16 in England and Wales cannot consent to sex. The offence is otherwise statutory rape.
@RichardHubbuckThese protest are a small hiccup the powers that be will overcome.
The people need to do more than burn a bus for there to be change.
Burn down city & maybe we can rebuild a new Christian society.
