ITV viewers of the drama 'Gone' are convinced that Michael Polly is hiding a big secret, with many believing he is covering for his daughter, Alana, as the real killer of Sarah Polly. The series follows the investigation into the disappearance and murder of music teacher Sarah, whose body was found strangled in the woods near her home.
Detective Annie Cassidy, played by Eve Myles, has focused on Sarah's husband, headmaster Michael, as the main suspect. However, during the latest episode on March 16, new information emerged that led viewers to question Michael's guilt. Despite his odd behaviour since Sarah's disappearance, fans took to social media to express their doubts.
One viewer wrote on X: "Michael didn't kill his wife he's covering for someone @davemorrissey64." Another asked: "Is he protecting someone? #Gone." A third commented: "Michael didn't do it, so who did, the daughter #gone." The theory gained traction as Michael's story about his daughter's whereabouts appeared inconsistent.
In the episode, Annie interviewed Michael at his home and noticed Alana was absent. Michael initially claimed she was staying with her grandparents to look after them, but later admitted she went there to get away from him, blaming himself for the affair. The police had previously released Michael due to lack of evidence, but Annie continued to investigate.
Sarah's lover, Stephen Sedgwick, was also questioned but not charged. As the six-part series progresses, viewers are eagerly awaiting the truth behind Sarah's murder, with many convinced that Michael is shielding his daughter.
