  • You know what, Pip is doing really well.

  • But he's fast asleep now – I think the excitement of the day

  • must have worn him out. He loves that toy elephant he's cuddling.

  • That's Mr Pom Pom. So, can I see him again now?

  • Yeah, of coursein a moment. Can I just ask you about these drawings?

  • Drawings? Yes, I got him to draw what he'd seen with some crayons. Look...

  • Well, that's obviously his daddy.

  • Are you sure? Pip said it was Woody. Woody, like in Toy Story?

  • I guess so. Does that mean anything to you?

  • Not reallyexcept he likes Woody, especially his cowboy hat.

  • There's something I don't get. People who top themselvesdads.

  • There's, like, two patterns isn't there?

  • There's the ones that want to destroy everything:

  • kill themselves, kill their families, these family annihilators.

  • And then there's the usual one: dad's depressed, desperate,

  • kills himself to save his family. In some mad logic. But...

  • who leaves a kid by the side of a dual carriageway?

  • I don't think he's dead. I think he's done a runner.

  • I would too if she was my wife. What is your problem with her?

  • Can I have a quick word in the other room?

  • Right, I can't tell if he's witnessed anything truly traumatic.

  • He's not particularly chatty, which is fair enough, poor sod.

  • He's tired. I think he's walked quite a way.

  • How...? Hang on. From what I can gather,

  • Dad left him in the cardidn't come back. Pip went looking for him.

  • I think when he got to the big road, he didn't know what to do.

  • How far can a four-year-old walk? Further than you think. A few miles.

  • And has he drawn something? Yes. A couple.

  • Now, this is Pip's picture of where he was this morning with his dad.

  • So, we've got hills, birds, grass, sand.

  • I asked him what he sounded like and he... he did a sort of roaring sound.

  • Roar... Waves. Sound of the sea. Bang on.

  • Just a sec. What are you looking for? Map. Just use your phone!

  • Got it. OK. Right. I just.... Here we are. So,

  • this is where Pip was found, right? And let's say he can walk four miles.

  • So, that makes our search area a three-mile stretch of coastline.

  • We can discard this bit because it's inland, so that leaves us with a

  • three-mile stretch of coastline. And he had the car, right?

  • There are car-parking spots here, here and here.

  • Now, in Pip's picture, he can hear the sea but he can't see it.

  • Now, I know these two car parksNeil and I walk down there sometimes.

  • They're a bit away from the water. You can't see the sea. This one...

  • I'm not so sure... Evan, can we have one more go with Pip?

  • I want to know anything Jamie might have said to

  • him... What's that? Oh, no! She's gone. What's she playing at?

  • Excuse me, DS Pritchard. I think you might want

  • to take a look at Pip's other picture.

  • Erm... Pip and Daddy?

  • Daddy and Woody. The character from Toy Story.

You know what, Pip is doing really well.
