An heiress, whose family is linked to British royalty, has been trying to erase all traces since the beginning of January in England. The story worries the authorities, because the thirties, in a relationship with a former convict, would have given birth to a baby just before disappearing.
What happened to Constance Marten? Why hasn’t she given any sign of life for days? Did she give birth to a child that she would have with a certain Mark Gordon, known unfavorably to American justice for rape? All these questions greatly occupy the minds of the British, whose authorities are concerned regarding these disappearances which seem as voluntary as they are problematic.
The story begins on January 5, when the vehicle attributed to the couple formed by Constance Marten and Mark Gordon, is found in flames on a road near Bolton, in the north of England. The two occupants are not found on the scene, first mystery, but the investigators have a conviction: the 35-year-old woman gave birth, one or two days earlier only, to a child, perhaps even in this car.
A couple who questions
The identity of the two members of the couple questions. She, whose grandmother was directly linked to the royal family and who recently inherited a significant heritage. He, 13 years his senior, who experienced prison in the United States for two decades following being sentenced there for rape at only 14 years old.
Since this strange episode, the trace of Constance Marten and Mark Gordon led to Liverpool, where they would have gone by taxi (45 kilometers of walk) following the fire of their vehicle, then to Harwich, in the south-east, before to arrive in London on January 7, where they were spotted by underground surveillance cameras.
Two weeks later, we don’t know much more. The couple would have enough cash to stay, through Airbnb rentals in particular. The fate of the child remains a mystery and crystallizes the concerns of the authorities. The latter have also broadcast on social networks a call for witnesses, on January 18.

The family of Constance Marten, with whom the latter would have cut ties since her meeting with Mark Gordon, has also implored their daughter to resurface.
