A murder investigation built around one crucial trace

Killer Clues: Forensics follows individual murder investigations through the scientific evidence that changes their direction. The Super Channel Fuse original ranges from DNA and genetic genealogy to telephone records and physical traces. Its organising principle is the relationship between an apparently minor discovery and the reconstruction of a crime.

The opening case, A Footprint on Bread, concerns a young mother killed in her Iowa home and a blood-marked impression on a hamburger bun. Cameras Don't Blink shifts to Bradford, England, where a police constable's killing leads investigators to use a city-wide number-plate recognition network to trace suspects across the country.

Biological evidence and digital trails

Three Silent Witnesses examines a Utah bookstore owner's murder and a drop of blood whose significance develops as DNA science advances. Snowball follows the disappearance of a mother on Prince Edward Island, where white hairs on a bloody jacket become an unusual investigative lead. The cases broaden the idea of forensic evidence beyond a conventional laboratory sample.

The production comes from Shadow Pine Studios, with Chantal Jackson and Leanne Brennan credited as producers. Across its cases, the series connects scientific technique with the particular investigative question it is being asked to resolve: identifying a person, testing an account of events or locating a trace left behind.
