A new Channel 4 documentary The Kidnap of Angel Lynn uses exclusive interviews, social media and immersive graphics, to tell the story of the abusive relationship that led to the life-altering abduction of Angel Lynn. Angel was abducted by her boyfriend Chay Bowskill, after he bundled her into a van which she then fell from while the van was travelling 60mph.
Angel, who is from Leicestershire, met Chay through a mutual friend when she was 18 and living at home in Leicestershire. Before meeting Chay, Angel had ambitions to become a forensic scientist and was close with her family and friends. But, as viewers discover, very quickly into their relationship Chay became abusive towards Angel and started to isolate her from her family and friends.
At one point during the relationship, Chay was sent to prison and Angel continued to keep in touch with him and got a tattoo saying 'Chay' on her ankle. Angel no longer wore make-up but dressed in baggy clothes, which friends and family say was not like her at all.
