The Wimbledon

Kidnapping Exclusive Premiere |Trailer

Britain's first kidnap and ransom case galvanised the nation in 1969. In leafy, suburban Wimbledon Muriel McKay was kidnapped by mistake, the real target being the wife of media tycoon, Rupert Murdoch. In an era that signalled the phenomenon of tabloid press, McKay's mysterious disappearance confounded the police, Fleet Street and hundreds of clairvoyants in their search for the respectable 55-year-old housewife. For the first time, all of the key players in this astonishing crime tell their side of the story: one of the men convicted, the daughters of the kidnapped woman who took the ransom calls and the family of the second kidnapper.
