Detectives are on the trail of a child killer in a 60 year old murder case. Using the latest developments in forensic science to uncover new evidence, a specialist team of cold case detectives from South Wales Police are determined to finally get justice for 6 year old Carol Ann Stephens. The little girl disappeared from the streets of Cathays in Cardiff in 1959 and her body was found over 50 miles away in West Wales, two weeks later. The case has gone unsolved for over 60 years but now, with DNA and modern technology on their side, the team revisit old crime scenes, interview new witnesses and re-examine crucial pieces of evidence kept in storage for over half a century. And for one seasoned detective the murder of schoolgirl Carol Ann Stephens is a case that's close to his heart - he was childhood friends with the 6 year old girl and was one of the reasons he joined the police as a young officer.
