Less than 10 days before Christmas 1998 in the seaside resort of Southport a search was on to find the missing mother of two young children who had vanished from the family home. Mitchell Quy appeared to be the dutiful and worried husband and joined the Police search for his wife Lynsey, even appearing on talk shows and phoning radio stations, appealing for help. The 23 year old croupier who seem to bask in the attention of the media, was however hiding a dark and chilling secret, he had killed and dismembered his own wife. It would not be until summer of 2000 when a grisly discovery of a human torso in a shallow grave, near an amusement park in the town, that Quy was finally revealed to be a monster. After his arrest he told police that his wife was seeking a divorce and that in a confrontation with her, while holding her on the floor for some 20 minutes, had strangled her to death. Enlisting the help of his brother , a butcher, the body was chopped up. The remains aside from the torso were never recovered after allegedly being disposed of on a trash heap.
