Episodes and Cases
The first episode focuses on Ben Needham, a 21-month-old who vanished in 1991 while on a family holiday in Kos, Greece. The search delves into child-trafficking, burial sites, and a prison confession, with the family still seeking answers over 30 years later.
Episode two examines the murder of 25-year-old Joanna Yeates, who disappeared on a freezing night in Bristol in 2010. Her body was found, leading police to arrest neighbour Vincent Tabak.
The third episode covers Ben Field, a deputy churchwarden convicted in 2019 of murdering university lecturer Peter Farquhar and defrauding neighbour Ann Moore-Martin. Field manipulated them through fake romantic relationships and altered wills, receiving a minimum 36-year sentence. A recent twist raises questions about the case.
Episode four investigates Peter Tobin, a serial killer linked to multiple murders across the UK after the 2006 murder of Angelika Kluk. Tobin, a quiet church handyman, had remained hidden for decades.
The fifth episode looks at Jane Andrews, former royal dresser to Sarah, Duchess of York, who was investigated after her boyfriend's death in 2000. She went on the run and faced allegations of cold-blooded murder.
The final episode, Mahek Bukhari: The TikTok Murders, explores a chilling 999 call capturing two men in a deadly high-speed car chase. Police follow CCTV to a mother-daughter TikTok duo, uncovering dark family secrets and a deadly ambush plot.
Each 40-minute episode offers a 40-minute investigative journey into these haunting cases.
