Missing After Midnight: The Disappearance of Patrick Warren & David Spencer
On Boxing Day 1996, David Spencer (11) and Patrick Warren (13) were out in Chelmsley Wood.
They stayed out all night.
They were last seen alive in the early hours of 27 December.
They never came home.
No confirmed crime scene.
No bodies.
No explanation that holds.
This episode of Seeing Red follows what little is known, what was missed, and what people living on that estate have had to sit with for nearly thirty years.
Because two children didn’t disappear into thin air. And someone knows why they didn’t make it back.
