Season 3 - Episode 29 / Case Update

DESCRIPTION:

THIS IS A CASE UPDATE. PLEASE LISTEN TO ‘SEASON 3 - EPISODE 29’ FOR MORE DETAILS.

Under Operation Ensign, Sussex Police completed one of the most significant mass DNA screenings in its history. Still, by December 2018 — the fifth anniversary of the murder, they were no further forward with capturing the person responsible. The killer appeared to have committed the perfect crime, and Valerie Graves’ death would forever remain a mystery. That was until July 10, 2019.
