Description

In 1587 John White set sail in an attempt to colonise the New World, but due to a severe shortage of supplies he was forced to return home, leaving his daughter and newly born granddaughter (as well as over 100 more settlers) on the island of Roanoke - North Carolina. Due to delays he wouldn't return for a further 3 years. When he returned the entire colony had disappeared, but what happened to them? Did they move? Were they murdered? Were they abducted by aliens? Or did no one at the time really even just care? Tune in to find out.
