About this episode
In 1949, wealthy widow Olive Durand-Deacon went missing. WPS Alexandra Lambourne’s suspicions were aroused. Her instincts told her that this was not a missing person’s case. It was murder. But without a body, how could the police prove anything? It was a job for the forensic scientists of Scotland Yard, led by expert pathologist Dr. Keith Simpson. They may not have had a body, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t uncover the truth.
