In the cold weeks between January and late February, a newborn born without medical care in a motorway car vanished with its parents into the Sussex countryside, setting off one of the most intensive infant search operations in recent British memory. When Constance Marten and Mark Gordon were finally found in Brighton, the child was not with them — and soon after, a small body was recovered from a wooded area. The law now moves to answer what the living could not explain: how a new life, barely begun, came to end in the undergrowth of a winter landscape.
