Lost in the Wild

In December 2004, the family of Fred Moss, a traveller from the Stansted, Essex was reported missing. As hundreds of the traveller community descended on rural Essex in search of the missing 21-year-old, the police came under increasing pressure to find answers but Fred Moss had vanished without a trace. 4 days later his beloved dog was found starving, lost and wandering on a road 16 miles from Fred’s home. A call for witnesses brought forward Christopher Nudds, a local pest controller and friend of Moss. His account of last seeing Fred the day before he went missing didn’t match the account from Fred’s aunt and when Nudds found Fred’s missing car a day later both the police and the travellers began to suspect Nudds knew more than he was revealing. What followed included an abduction, a shallow grave, an extraordinary second murder and one of the British police’s largest scale manhunts.
