ON June 16, 1990, Trevaline Evans left a note on the door of the antiques shop where she worked saying she'd be back in two minutes.
But three decades on the grandmother, then 52, has never been seen again.
Now her bizarre disappearance is examined in Channel 4's In the Footsteps of Killers, presented by Emilia Fox.
The case left residents of Llangollan, the small town in north Wales where Trevaline had lived all her life, baffled – and residents still seek closure to this day.
It has piqued the interest of arm chair detectives across the country and sparked multiple theories.
And last year a cryptic message claiming her 'remains' had been 'moved' appeared on a nearby bench.

While there was speculation at the time that her 30-year marriage to husband Richard was unhappy and she'd run away to start a new life elsewhere, in tonight's programme experts suggest the evidence indicates she was most likely murdered.
Criminologist Dr Graham Hill says: "To me it doesn’t look like a missing persons investigation, it feels more like a murder investigation."
Trevaline arrived at Attic Antiques – a business she'd started up a year previously – to open up at 9:30am on June 16 as normal.
She had returned three days earlier from Rhuddlan, a coastal town roughly an hour away where she and Richard were renovating a bungalow they'd bought with retirement in mind.
