BBC One - Expert Witness, Series 1, DNA, Fibres and Bones

Experts catch the killer of two schoolgirls, and bones on a moor reveal their own secrets.

After 32 years, expert fibre analysis helps bring the killer of two Brighton schoolgirls to justice, and the analysis of bones found on a Yorkshire moor helps find two killers.

In this episode, we reveal how the tenacity of a team of forensic scientists helped finally catch the killer of two children in Brighton. Also, when bones were discovered on moorland in West Yorkshire, detectives weren't even certain they were human. But a team of expert witnesses was able to reveal the victim's story hidden within the bones and bring two killers to justice.
