The Girls Who Were Found Alive20 Feb 2008
Lisa Hoodless and Charlene Lunnon
Charlene and Lisa; the friends abducted as ten year olds and held for four days

In 1999, as they walked to school, Lisa Hoodless and Charlene Lunnon were abducted off the street by a paedophile. They were just 10 years old. For 4 days they were held in a flat in Eastbourne, watching on television as the nation was gripped by the mystery of their disappearance. Incredibly, as all hope of finding them alive began to fade, they were discovered, accidentally, by the police. Charlene and Lisa are the subject of a Channel 4 documentary. They join Jenni to discuss how the trauma of their ordeal nearly wrecked their friendship, but how, now aged 19, they are as close as ever.

Cutting Edge Documentary ‘The Girls Who Were Found Alive’ is broadcast on Channel 4 at 9pm on Thursday February 28th 2008.
