Ep 1:
The Babes in the Wood
In 1986 Brighton, two nine-year-old best friends vanish into a forbidden woodland—and a chillingly composed bystander at the search draws suspicion that will haunt a community for decades.
Ep 2:
Free Man, Marked Innocent
Forensic evidence points squarely at Russell Bishop, but a shattered timeline and a witness's stunning betrayal set a killer free—who then turns his freedom into a campaign of cruelty against an innocent grieving father.
Ep 3:
Thirty-Two Years to Justice
Freed but never finished, a predator strikes again, and a landmark legal change plus a breakthrough in DNA science finally drag him back to court thirty-two years after his first, catastrophic acquittal.

Level 6 · 2 weeks agoBishop only served 4 years for those murders. Thats not justice.
