LAST summer, Oldham dad-of-four Lee Carter was returning home from the watching the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
But his family never saw him arrive. One week later, Lee, 48, was found dead in a Stockport car park.
"I had to sort a funeral without knowing any answers on how my son had died," Lee's mum, Marie Hargreaves, said. "I want to get to the truth of it. It has to be told properly what happened to him. I'm not leaving it like this."
Lee's fraught loved ones have battled authorities to get to the bottom of what happened to him, all while racked with grief. He was reported missing to Humberside Police, the local force for Bridlington where he was living with his partner, on July 5 and Greater Manchester Police were informed about his disappearance.
The family believe police on both sides of the Pennines should have done more to find him. Lee had described childhood trauma and previously suffered with the death of his girlfriend, who was the mother of his four children.
