'The Trial of Richard Satchwell' featuring Tina's family to air tonight
A documentary on the 'Trial of Richard Satchwell' will air on Virgin Media One tonight at 9pm.
It will feature members of Tina Satchwell's family and their suspicions after she went missing in March of 2017.
According to a post by Virgin Media News on X, they say "nothing was adding up."

They say Tina's 'beloved pets' were left behind and this is what made them suspicious.
"People that knew Tina felt that her disappearance was very much out of character. People who knew her very well would have said that there was no way she would disappear without her pets," a family member can be seen saying in the trailer.
Another family member who features in the documentary compared her relationship with her children to Tina's with her dogs.
"She would never go without them, it's like me walking on my children - they were her babies," she said.
“Nothing was adding up.”
