The Body - Season 1

The heartbreaking story of 'Adam' – whose dismembered body was discovered in the Thames in 2001. It would become one of the Met's longest unsolved child murder cases – and take detectives across the globe in their hunt for those responsible.

An unopened suitcase in a hedge on a quiet lane. Its contents, the remains of a young woman, would lead to the most complex murder investigation ever undertaken by North Yorkshire Police. Who is she? How did she get here? Who killed her? And why?

The Body in The Carpet follows the truly groundbreaking detective work that solved the shocking case of 15-year-old Karen Price, whose skeletal remains were found in a carpet in 1989 - eight years after she had last officially been seen.
