Disney+’s latest true crime series examines six separate cases that made headlines across the UK. Many viewers will already know the names, but the series promises new details and exclusive interviews.
Disney+ says every episode contains “fresh revelations” as those closest to the investigations look back on what happened.
In order, the episodes are:
-
- Ben Needham: Lost in Paradise. Little Ben Needham disappeared without a trace on the Greek island of Kos in 1991. He was 21 months old. Ben vanished while staying with his British maternal grandparents as his mum, Kerry, worked in a local bar. Kerry appears in the documentary as the investigation leads to “the murky world of child trafficking”. Disney says the family also revisits suspected burial sites and investigates an apparent prison confession. But will they finally discover what happened to Ben?
-
- Joanna Yeates: The Killer Next Door. Joanna disappeared after a night out in December 2010. The 25 year old landscape architect never returned to the Bristol flat she shared with her boyfriend. Her body was found a short time later. Detectives followed the evidence back to her own front door before arresting neighbour Vincent Tabak.
- Ben Field: Thou Shalt Not Kill. Two elderly neighbours died in suspicious circumstances in 2015, prompting detectives to investigate a young churchwarden. As officers uncovered an alleged plot involving romance, religion and inheritance, they worked to establish whether he manipulated his victims or murdered them.
-
- Peter Tobin: A Monster In Their Midst. Detectives investigating the murder of Angelika Kluk in 2006 soon focused on a seemingly quiet church handyman. Their investigation uncovered a serial killer who had remained hidden in plain sight for decades. Tobin was later linked to multiple murders across the UK.
-
- Jane Andrews: The Duchess & The Killer. Jane Andrews worked as a dresser for Sarah, Duchess of York. In 2000, police investigated her after her boyfriend was murdered. Andrews went on the run and later made a series of shocking allegations after officers found her. Detectives examined the couple’s relationship as they tried to establish whether she had killed in cold blood.
- Mahek Bukhari: The TikTok Murders. A fatal high speed car chase begins with a chilling 999 call and ends with two men dead.
