April chatted with some friends as she fussed over Judy the Donkey in a field in the hamlet of Metton, Norfolk. It was a couple of days after Easter 1969 and the 13 year old had stopped at “Donkey Field” on her way to her eldest sister’s house in the neighbouring village of Roughton. After a short time April was back on her bicycle and on her way. April never made it to her sister’s house and she has not been seen or heard from since that day.
