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.
