During the hurried search for Constance Marten and Mark Gordon’s kid, a baby’s body was discovered.
After the couple went missing on January 5 and their child was delivered in a car in Bolton, an investigation was started.
On fire and abandoned, their car was discovered close to the M61.
By paying for everything in cash and hiding their faces when caught on camera, the two were able to elude the authorities for 54 days.
It’s believed they were living rough in a tent amid cold temperatures, and they were spotted in Liverpool, Essex, south London and East Sussex.
Police became increasingly concerned as they believe the child hasn’t received medical attention since their birth.
Marten and Gordon were finally located in Brighton on February 27 after a tip-off from a member of the public.
Their baby was not with them and they were arrested on suspicion of child neglect.
Immediately after, around two hundred officers launched an urgent hunt covering some 90 square miles to find the child.
Metropolitan and Sussex police used helicopters, sniffer dogs, thermal imaging cameras and drones, and worked through the night.
The following day, the parents were further arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter.
Police warned that they believed that the child must have ‘come to serious harm’.
Marten comes from an aristocratic family with royal connections.
On Tuesday her father, Napier Marten, expressed his immense relief that she had been found, but said he remained alarmed that the baby was missing.
