In August 2012, the disappearance of 12-year-old Tia Sharp from her home in New Addington, South London, became one of the most heartbreaking and high-profile true crime cases in British history. In this gripping first episode of a two-part investigation, True Criminals revisits the shocking murder that stunned the UK and exposed the dark truth hiding within a family home.


Hosted by Sky News Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt and journalist Helen Fospero, with exclusive insight from former Detective Chief Inspector Nick Scola—the lead investigator on the case—this episode delivers an unprecedented look inside the real police investigation. Discover how what began as a nationwide missing persons search quickly turned into a murder hunt, the crucial missteps that delayed the discovery of Tia’s body, and how prime suspect Stuart Hazell, her step-grandfather, tried to mislead detectives and the public.


True Criminals takes you through the tense week-long search, the false witness who threw police off track, and the shocking “human error” that allowed a killer to hide in plain sight. This is not just a crime story—it’s a haunting reminder of the dangers that can exist behind closed doors.
