Tragedy of the innocent grandmother driven to an early death after being wrongly accused over missing teenager Gaia Pope
On the day she disappeared in November 2017, teenager Gaia Pope had knocked on the door of the pensioner she had come to regard as her second grandmother. Rosemary Dinch used to collect Gaia and her twin sister, Maya, from their primary school in Swanage, Dorset, along with her grandson, Nathan.
