She Disappeared After Deciding To Leave Him: The Natalie Hemming Case | A Killer's Mistake

Natalie Hemming vanished without warning. As police searched, all signs pointed to her long-term partner and his history of control. Natalie was the baby of a close military family, a sociable young woman who joined the Navy at 16, married and became a mum to her daughter, Kirsty. After her marriage ended, she moved home for support, and at 22 met Paul Hemming, 12 years older, with a good job, a nice house and an Audi. He arrived with flowers for Natalie and a present for Kirsty, but within three months he’d thrown a phone at her head and put his hand around her throat over a birthday text from her ex. Over nearly a decade, Paul cancelled three planned weddings, kept Natalie off the mortgage while she paid the bills, checked her phone and controlled the children, who were left terrified of him. Kirsty tried to tell her school, a neighbour called police after hearing “Daddy’s hitting Mummy,” and Natalie fled to her sister in Yorkshire, but Paul followed. When she finally found independence through a new job, separated from him and met someone new, she disappeared. Her mother called police after 48 hours, and when asked what her concern was, she answered with one word: “Him.” Senior investigating officer Simon Steel and Natalie’s family describe a hunt with no trace of a mother of three, and a partner whose story kept changing.
