Forensics: Catching the Killer - Season 4
Season 4
Forensics: Catching the Killer returns for a fourth series and eight new murder cases – each one resolved thanks in part to the role of forensic science. In each episode we unpack a case in detail. We aim to speak to the families of those involved, as well as a cast list that will include forensic scientists, police officers, journalists, witnesses, friends, and experts.
