The Elk Hair

Description
This episode takes us to Sweden – and an unusual case where the Smoking Gun actually clears the only suspect. In this small town, the death of a woman prompts everyone to point a finger at her husband. The injuries she sustained are brutal – the couple clearly argued – and he went to extraordinary lengths to cover his tracks. But as the investigation unfolds, there’s a problem…no evidence to link him to the crime. In fact – the only evidence is some elk hair, which presents a very different scenario – one you won’t quite believe. Smoking Gun is a What's The Story original series, narrated by Romola Garai and Britain's best known forensic scientist Tracy Alexander. And is supported by the British Academy of Forensic Sciences.

Wetsuits. We all know how they work in theory. By trapping a thin layer of water between the suit and the wearer’s skin, it allows you to stay warm underwater. But get too many holes in them and they’ll start to leak…sometimes more than just water. One wetsuit owner was left metaphorically high...
