Season 8 - Episode 45

DESCRIPTION: 

PLEASE LISTEN TO ‘SEASON 8 - EPISODE 44’ FOR PART ONE OF THIS TWO-PART CASE. The bodies of five vulnerable women who went missing from the streets of Ipswich were found over a ten-day period. Suffolk Police launched the most extensive investigation in the force's history, and within a week of the last two victims being found, they had a positive DNA match — not the profile of the prime suspect, but a man who had flown under the radar despite living in the epicentre of the disappearances... (Part 2 of 2).
