Sociopolitical Documentary hosted by Robbie Coltrane, published by A&E in 2016 - English narration



Information
------------------------------

As "Cracker" crimesolver Dr. Edward "Fitz" Fitzgerald, Robbie Coltrane was no stranger to catching crooks of the fictional variety. But as the host of this acclaimed British true crime series, Coltrane focuses on real-life UK murder cases, guiding viewers through the grueling and meticulous processes of evidence collection and analysis that police had to endure as they conducted their investigations.
When there's a murder with no suspect, no leads and perhaps not even a body, that's when investigators face their toughest test. Evidence must be gathered. Evidence must be analysed. But evidence is worthless if it can't be pinned to a suspect...
Most murder victims knew the person that killed them. That's why homicide, in many cases, is a straightforward crime to solve. Yet 20 percent of UK homicides are classified as "circumstances unknown". In this series, Robbie Coltrane reveals eight of the hardest, most complex and baffling murder cases ever to be investigated by British police. The focus of each programme is the trail of evidence: how it was discovered, what it meant and how it became critical to crack the case. With interviews from the lead investigators and forensic specialists, many speaking for the first time, Robbie reveals the astonishing twists and turns of often stranger-than-fiction cases. It is a record of the detectives' art: using skill and determination to solve seemingly unsolvable cases - because the only difference between success and failure is critical evidence.
In this captivating series, Robbie Coltrane - son of a Police Surgeon and legendary star of Cracker - presents a collection of extraordinary criminal cases that were so meticulously planned and executed that the perps would have got away with them if it hadn't been for one scrap of critical evidence. In each episode, Robbie narrates the story of a single dark, notorious crime that was initially unsolvable. These highly complex cases were littered with false leads, contaminated evidence, and unreliable testimony - where nothing could be firmly pinned on a suspect... BUT, as Robbie reveals by taking us through the intricate process of each investigation, a single example of genius detection eventually led to one piece of evidence that linked everything together and finally put guilt beyond reasonable doubt.

6)  The Body in the Suitcase: Lorenzo Simon
On 12th May 2014 a human torso was discovered in a suitcase during routine maintenance work on a Birmingham canal. With no useable DNA and no other body parts, the case initially seemed impossible to crack. As investigations continued, the police got a breakthrough thanks to an environmental scientist and forensic hydrologist. By analysing flow patterns in the canal, she was able to pinpoint where the suitcase had first entered the water, and where other body parts might be found. After the identification of the body as Michael Spalding, other important evidence led police to investigate his former landlord. A search of his home prompted a forensic first: the use of 3-D imaging to establish that hidden within a lump of charcoal was a piece of human bone. Simon was convicted and jailed for life in April 2015. This is the first time the case has been featured on television.
