Product Overview
Please note: This study guide contains two versions – a full-colour guide and a text-only version for printing and referencing.
Twenty-five years after the murder of British backpacker Peter Falconio and the attack on his girlfriend Joanne Lees, two world-leading experts examine the famous case like never before. For the first time on television, they use their unique expertise to try to solve the last remaining mystery – where is Peter Falconio?
Geoforensic specialist Dr Mark Harrison MBE and former FBI profiler Kathy Canning-Mello forensically examine the case, using the latest scientific search techniques and advanced criminal behaviour insights. Their mission is to get inside the mind of the murderer and work out where he buried Peter. As they dig deeper into the case, they uncover a flawed investigation and a trial by media of the only surviving victim – Joanne Lees.
