description: It was a frozen, sunny day outside a supermarket in South London. It was Saturday and there were crowds. Stephen and his five-year-old daughter, Kate, were holding hands. Fifteen minutes later they were at the checkout. Then Kate was gone. Stolen. Two years on, Stephen remains on the watch for a five-year-old girl.
