Summary

In April 1968, 14-year-old Roy Tutill vanished on his way home from school, a route he often travelled by hitch-hiking. Three days later, his lifeless body was discovered, sparking an investigation that would span decades.


Roy’s tragic murder haunted investigators and the community alike as the years ticked by without justice. Then, in 2001, a breakthrough came when advances in DNA technology linked his killer to the crime - 33 years after the fact.


The match was triggered by a chance arrest for drink-driving in 1999, unravelling a secret that had evaded detection for many years and finally bringing closure to one of Britain’s most heartbreaking cold cases.
