The Stolen Girl: Sleepover Turns Into a Terrifying Disappearance
A simple sleepover turns into every parent’s worst nightmare in the gripping new drama, The Stolen Girl , premiering tonight on ITV. The story centers on nine-year-old Lucia, a bright and curious girl excited for her first overnight stay at a new friend’s house. Her mother, Elisa Blix, naturally harbors some hesitation, but after meeting Josie’s seemingly warm and welcoming mother, Rebecca, she feels reassured and allows her daughter to go.
But when Elisa and her husband return the next morning to collect Lucia, they are met with an empty house. Josie, Rebecca, and, most devastatingly, Lucia have vanished without a trace. A lone cleaner claims the home is vacant, leaving the Blix family reeling in confusion, fear and desperation. What begins as a routine, happy event escalates into a tense and emotionally charged story of abduction, deception and family betrayal.
