Frances had only just arrived at work when she received a phone call that turned her life upside down.
Police officers had arrested her solicitor husband Andrew over allegations he was defrauding clients - and were searching the family home the couple shared with their two children.
Andrew's office, in a leafy village to the south of Manchester, also resembled a scene from a TV drama - cloaked in yellow crime tape, staff in shock and records being boxed up.
His legal practice held power of attorney for many elderly people with dementia. But the police discovered that hundreds of thousands of pounds of Andrew's clients' money were missing. Officers later found he had spent the funds on adult webcam sites, sex workers and antiques.
That was 12 years ago.
