She Was Turned Into Food? - Charlene Downes

On 1 November 2003, the day she was last seen, Charlene had spent some time with her sister. They had been to the Promenade and played on the fruit machines at Coral Island amusement arcade before heading to a McDonald’s restaurant…Around 9.30pm Charlene and her friend went to the Carousel bar on the North pier. They didn’t stay long and headed back into the town centre before parting company near Talbot Road/Abingdon Street around 11pm...She was never seen again.
