In 1976, Annalise Wood disappeared on her journey home from school and instantly became a local celebrity. For decades the town of Lilling tried to solve the mystery of Annalise's disappearance until, almost twenty years later, her body was discovered. Annalise's body was badly decomposed and there was a lack of DNA available; the only trace on the body was found in her skirt and did not match anyone on record. The chances of finding her killer were extremely low and the murder soon became a 'cold case' – but still the most famous Lilling had ever seen.
