The Boy in the Woods

For more than 20 years the case of the murder of six-year-old Rikki Neave went unsolved. In this new ten part investigation, award-winning journalist Winifred Robinson, has unearthed the truth through unprecedented access to police interview rooms, and follows the investigation as the police move in on the perpetrator.

It's a haunting and heart-breaking case filled with injustice, a story of vulnerable children, known to the authorities who should have been protected, a tale of lives wasted and cut short. You'll hear original police tapes never broadcast before, fresh testimony from suspects and witnesses, new and compelling evidence from forensic scientists. The series takes you inside the jury room and abroad as the manhunt closes in.

In Episode Six of The Boy in the Woods the BBC Journalist, Winifred Robinson, records with Ruth Neave after her release from prison. She wants to clear her name and find her son's killer and is being supported by her new husband, Gary Rogers. Winifred follows what happens as they appeal to Cambridgeshire Police to re-open the case.
