Meanwhile, Erin and Broome try to press Megan over the reason the dancing twins are so desperate to find her.

They’ve managed to trace it back to a rental company, which in turn allows them to get a proper photo of the pair. Broome also finds a picture of Kayleigh, wearing an orange jacket while hanging with Carlton Flynn. From this, he realizes the girl is a key witness and needs to be brought in for questioning. ..
Kayleigh then reveals that she and Bea ran away from Carlton after he spiked their drinks with something. She also reveals that Carlton was arguing with an east Asian man wearing a pink hoody at the bar. Kayleigh claims not to know anything else, but flashbacks reveal differently. Specifically of her running away through the woods. ..

The Episode Review
The police are inept and should be ashamed of themselves. Stay Close is a terrible series and needs to be stopped.
The series has been a mess from the beginning, with way too many moving parts and a whole bunch of cliches.
It does look like Ray is the main suspect in Stewart Green’s murder, and after shockingly admitting to it, we’ll have to wait and see what ramifications are in store for him.
