Nick Ross reviews the drowning of Elizabeth Barlow in 1957. Could forensics prove it was actually murder? Stars Phillip Sully.

True tales of murder from the days when police cars had bells and the men from the Yard wore trilby hats.

Elizabeth Barlow was found drowned in her bath in May 1957. 

She showed signs of having been drugged but no trace of any substance could be found. Had someone committed the perfect murder?
