Trivia

Based on the real-life case of Det. Superintendent Steve Fulcher, who, whilst investigating a young woman's disappearance, broke a number of police procedural rules in order to get the prime suspect to confess and reveal the location of the victim. The suspect also simultaneously confessed to the abduction and murder of another young woman several years before. As the suspect had not been formally cautioned and advised of his rights by Fulcher, the case was put in jeopardy. Fulcher's actions were heavily criticised in court and by his superiors and, following disciplinary action, he eventually resigned from the force but does not regret his behaviour given the circumstances.

User Reviews

Dreadful camerawork - unwatchable

There's some good actors in this and it looked like it could be good but my wife and I could only tolerate about 10 minutes before turning it off. The camerawork was giving us both a bad head. Its not poor camera work, its clearly deliberate and also somewhat immature. For me, its someone trying to be clever and different. However, it didn't work. ITV shouldn't have released this or allowed this or allowed it to go ahead.
