A killer tried to destroy everything which could link them to the crime; but in doing so, they inadvertently created new forensic evidence, evidence which came to light using a technique never before used in a criminal investigation.

High 'N' Dry

Hot on the Trail

Murder on the Menu

Sole Searching

A man is murdered in his sleep but no fingerprints are anywhere to be found; a shoe impression outside could lead to the killer.

Garden of Evil

A teenager goes missing after an evening of horseback riding; her body is found a month later, three miles from her home; the killer unknowingly leaves a trace of evidence behind, tiny but unmistakable clues that pointed to him and him alone.
