In the last days of 2014, a young woman was found dead in a hotel in Cardiff. Nadine Aburas had been in a stormy, long distance relationship with New Yorker Sammy Almahri for almost two years. They through an online dating site and, in late December, Almahri flew to the UK to visit Nadine. But when her family discovered him at her flat, they threw him out. Realising he had left his phone and passport there, Almahri checked into a hotel and headed for the bar before persuading the manager to call Nadine to ask her to bring his belongings.

The murderer was now a fugitive, but where was he heading?
