On January 5, a wealthy heiress, her boyfriend and their infant child mysteriously disappeared, leaving their car in flames on the highway. Investigators say they may not want to be found.
It’s a case that makes a lot of noise in the UK. For fifteen days, the British police have been actively looking for Constance Martinhis companion Mark Gordonas well as their baby, barely a few weeks old. The family has mysteriously disappeared on January 5 after his car burned down and has since given no sign of life.
If she attracts so much media attention, it is because she is not from just any family. Indeed, as reported by our colleagues from BFM TV, Constance Martinaged 35, is none other than the heiress of a wealthy British aristocratic family. His grandmother was even goddaughter of Elizabeth II’s mother, nicknamed the “Queen Mother”. On his side, Mark Gordon is a 48-year-old American who spent twenty years in prison in the United States after a rape conviction. He was then deported to the UK in 2010.

Was it a voluntary disappearance?
The couple and their infant were last seen in Manchester, England, on the M61 motorway on January 5. That day, at the end of the day, the police were called to a car that caught fire on this road, next to the town of Bolton. Once there, the agents found that the vehicle was completely empty, but that it had indeed been occupied by the family. “Investigations revealed that Constance and Mark were the occupants of the car and that Constance had given birth very recently, maybe a day or two before, and had not been examined by medical professionals”said the police.
According to Lewis Basford, one of the investigators quoted by BFMTV, the three missing would not have suffered “intentional harm”. It could therefore be a voluntary disappearancethe two spouses do not seem not want us to find their traces. Indeed, one clue particularly led the police towards this track: the couple left their car in flames while leaving on foot. He then joined Liverpool in the east of England, then Harwich, in the south-east. He was also seen in Colchester before being filmed at East Ham tube station in London on January 7. This is the last time the family was seen.
