In the early hours of the morning on the 28th of December 1997, 37 year old Deborah Steel left the Royal Standard pub in Ely where she was the landlady. She was heading to her home around a mile away. She would never contact her family or friends again and no one has seen her since. In 2014, her missing person investigation would be reclassified to a murder.
