Moments later she had vanished. "I knew she was in trouble," said her husband Keith Woodford who woke up the next morning to an empty bed. "I just knew".

The discovery of Gayle's body three days later threw the tightknit community of Fregon into freefall and ignited a debate about the security of remote area medical staff working alone.

For Keith and his family it was the beginning of a five-year mission as they lobbied to improve the system they thought had failed Gayle.

In this updated episode the family break their silence to discuss the recent coroner’s findings into Gayle’s death and their journey to find answers.
