The Body...
With first-hand accounts from detectives involved, and chilling archive and evidence, The Body traces the unfolding tales of some of modern history’s most compelling criminal mysteries.
The Body in the River tells the heartbreaking and truly disturbing story of ‘Adam’ – the unknown boy whose dismembered body was discovered in the Thames in September 2001, ten days after 9/11. It would become the longest unsolved child murder case in the UK.
The Body in the Suitcase begins with a jarring sight – an unopened suitcase in a hedge on a quiet lane in a sleepy northern village. Its contents, the remains of a young woman, would lead to the most complex murder investigation ever undertaken by North Yorkshire Police.
The Body in The Carpet follows the groundbreaking detective work that solved the shocking case of 15-year-old Karen Price – found by Cardiff builders in 1989, wrapped in a carpet, in the shadow of what would become the Millennium Stadium.
