He was as anxious as Brady to get some news on the Jag and the missing girl.After Brady had talked to Trina McGuire he’d immediately called Claudia. But all he’d got was her voicemail. He didn’t know what else he had expected. It was after 10:40 on a Saturday night when he tried contacting her. He was surprised that she had rung him back given the fact it was nearly midnight.Conrad, who was as demoralised and exhausted as Brady, was now driving them back to the station. They’d been on a frantic goose chase for the past hour trying to locate the whereabouts of the black Jag. But the car had simply disappeared.Conrad had immediately radioed details of the car in as instructed. But none of the other patrol cars in Newcastle or North Tyneside had located its whereabouts. Even the police helicopter had been issued with details of the Jag and the direction it had been heading. But again, nothing.It was Conrad who had persuaded Brady that it was time to call it a day. And Brady was forced to agree that the search was now futile.
