Surprised to see this case in random USA documentary about secrets of millionaire's mansions. Even though presumed dead Gracia is not listed on any UK missing sites.
Gracia Lezama Morton
Birth: 1957
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Death: Nov. 12, 1997
Kensington
Greater London, England
Musician. Millionairess.
Gracia Morton has not been seen since she left her west London flat to take her daughter to school on November 12, 1997.
Gracia was a former professional violinist.
Mother of Celeste.
Gracia came from a large family and was one of nine children.
Close friend to Anni Gallon and her boyfriend Alexander McDonald.
Gracia was considered an extrovert with a black sense of humour and a compassionate nature that suited her job as a counsellor.
Jonathan Morton was given a seven-year sentence for killing his wife, weeks before their divorce was due to be finalized.
Cause of Death: Murdered by estranged husband Jonathan Morton. Her body has never been found.
