In the quiet village of Lease, a turbulent marriage between a controlling husband and a fun-loving teacher came to a deadly end. Gordon Park, obsessed with his image and his wife Carol's infidelity, hatched a meticulous plan. After a custody battle forced Carol to return home, Gordon saw his chance for revenge. He took his children on a day trip to Blackpool, leaving Carol at home. When they returned, he bludgeoned his wife to death with an ice axe, then trussed up her body and dumped it in Coniston Water. This is the programme 'Countdown to Murder'. For two decades, he maintained the lie that she had abandoned her family. But in 1997, two divers made a horrifying discovery that would reignite the case. The body, still tied with climber's knots, led police back to Gordon Park. He was arrested, but it would take another seven years and a new piece of evidence—a rock from his own home—to finally put him behind bars.
