The Boy in the Blue Cap: The Gerard Ross Story — Part One: Gone (Rated PG)

It was warm and sunny the morning that Gerard Ross vanished from a deserted street in Rockingham, Western Australia.

Gerard’s family had only arrived at the beachside suburb, 50km south-west of Perth, a few days earlier.

Stewart and Cyrese Ross, with their three children — Malcolm, 13, Gerard, 11, and Beth, 8 — had driven 1300km through the night, leaving after school on Friday, to settle in at their holiday unit before collecting Cyrese’s mum Ellen and sister Rosina from the airport on Sunday.
