Cracking the Case (2025)

Every crime leaves a trail. Fingerprints, DNA, a move caught on camera. BBC News journalist Calum Leslie is joined by two experts - one who investigates how crimes are committed and one who digs into why.

The team examines the evidence that led to convictions and put some of the UK's most notorious criminals behind bars. Gaining access to information that usually remains sealed, Cracking the Case gives professional insights into the psychological profile behind the criminal act and walks the audience through how the perpetrators were caught.

At the heart of each episode lies a thorough exploration of the impact crime has on victims and their families - giving a voice to the people most profoundly impacted by terrible events by hearing directly from them.
