In January 2003, 22-year-old Kim Banyard should have been enjoying the happiest moments of her life. She'd just given birth to her first child and she'd seen friends to celebrate her birthday. 

But when she arrived home on the night of her birthday, she had no idea that it would be her last. And what happened next, was the most incredible case of 'right place, right time' for two patrolling police officers. 

This is Real.
