Waking The Dead
Led by Detective Superintendent Peter Boyd (Trevor Eve) the Cold Case Squad investigates serious crimes which have gone unsolved. Armed with the latest technological advances and old fashioned hard work, Psychological Profiler Grace Foley (Sue Johnston), Forensic Pathologist Frankie Wharton (Holly Aird), Detective Constable Mel Silver (Claire Goose) and Detective Sergeant Spencer Jordan (Wil Johnson) wake the dead for clues and answers.
Boyd has to battle his demons when the case against a mass murderer, who killed his close friend, is reopened.
The team finds additional exculpatory evidence on convicted spree killer and finds evidence of several cover-ups.
DNA evidence clears a man of the murder of his adopted fisherman stepfather eleven years earlier, but who killed him and who was responsible for the simultaneous disappearance of three female family members?
Another member of the Lovell family turns up in the family boatyard under a pile of cockles minus a head and hands.
The CCS is alerted to sexual abuse of young boys in care homes. The team race to identify the murderer before his vengeful victims reach him.
The team are racing against the clock as they try to establish the identity of the care-home pedophilic murderer. Meanwhile, he is being hunted down by two of his victims: Tanner, the dead boy's twin brother, and another former resident who was abused. The team need to reach the pedophile first, to prevent another death.
The discovery of a mummified body opens an investigation into a supposedly fictional film from the 1960s. It transpires that the gangster responsible for the bodies behind the walls in the Notting Hill house is still active today.
The evidence points to the house being a dumping ground for dead bodies and the four corpses being the result of multiple rather than a single event.
