Goode led the investigation into the 2006 disappearance of Banaz Mahmod, which later became a murder investigation.

The investigation was also the subject of the two-part TV mini-series, Honour , starring Keeley Hawes as Goode, [3] [4] which was screened on ITV in September 2020. [5] [6]

Goode was awarded the Queen's Police Medal in the 2012 New Year Honours [7] for leading the investigation.
