0:00:02 > 0:00:04If you know Tartan Noir isn't a trendy bar in Glasgow's West End
0:00:04 > 0:00:07then you've found the perfect programme for you.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11Welcome to the TV show with only one question - whodunnit?
0:00:27 > 0:00:29This is Armchair Detectives,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32the show where these 15 murder mystery enthusiasts
0:00:32 > 0:00:35are going to solve a deadly fictional crime.
0:00:35 > 0:00:40Our top amateur detectives dive headfirst into an investigation
0:00:40 > 0:00:41set in Mortcliff,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45the fictional village with one huge homicide problem.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49Making sure they don't miss a beat is Mortcliff's dream police team,
0:00:49 > 0:00:54DI Knight, DC Slater and Scene of Crimes Officer Simmons.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Before we head to Mortcliff,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58let's wave hello to the armchair detectives.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59- Hello.- Hello.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01It's almost like they'd rehearsed that.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Only three of you play each day
0:01:03 > 0:01:06so please take your armchairs, Audrey, Wisdom and Laura.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Come on up!
0:01:08 > 0:01:10APPLAUSE
0:01:14 > 0:01:17As you know by now, the detective guessing the killer correctly
0:01:17 > 0:01:18will win one of these.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22Our golden magnifying glass trophy.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25It's like a precious gem.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Audrey, welcome. This is your third show.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Who will be watching and supporting you at home, Audrey?
0:01:31 > 0:01:34My family, my husband and my two boys, and my grandsons.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35- Well, good luck, Audrey. - Thank you.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And Wisdom, who's rooting for you back home?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39I've got loads of friends and loads of family watching,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42especially my two brothers and my parents, so, yeah.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And do you think they'll be impressed with your detective skills so far, Wisdom?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I think... I think they should be, yes.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49They should be. Yes.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Laura, you run a library,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53do you spend most of your time in the crime fiction section?
0:01:53 > 0:01:58We keep joking that we need to just sort of sideline adult fiction a bit
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- and just add on a crime wing. - Oh, absolutely.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01It's what I read most of.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Well, good luck to all of you.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06It's time for round one, the Crime Scene.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Knight and Slater meet Simmons in a wood on the outskirts of town.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Notepads at the ready.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15For the first time today, let's head over to Mortcliff.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36So the car ended up all the way down there, did it?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39The ambulance took the victim away 20 minutes ago,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41she was pronounced dead at the scene.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43A wheel came off causing the car to veer off the road
0:02:43 > 0:02:45and down the ditch.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49The victim wasn't wearing a seat belt, so was killed on impact.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Who was she?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Louise Cook.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Looked like she was going to a function, smart dress,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56high heels, tricky to drive in.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Anything suspicious?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00The nuts were loosened on the wheel that came off.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02It looks deliberate.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05One air bag went off and Louise was the only person in the car
0:03:05 > 0:03:07when the ambulance found her.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11The front tyres look new, the back ones more worn.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13There are a few items of interest in the car, but we'll...
0:03:13 > 0:03:15We'll go through that later.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19The car's registered to a Luke Ramsay of the same address
0:03:19 > 0:03:20that's on her driving licence.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25This is so isolated. Who called it in?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Well, the car's got an automated system that calls for help,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30informs the emergency services there's been an accident
0:03:30 > 0:03:33and sends the location. Tons of cars have got it these days.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Hang on a minute. Louise Cook.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39She won the Miss Mortcliff Beauty Pageant this weekend.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42You go to beauty pageants in your spare time, Slater?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Oh, I keep my finger on the Mortcliff pulse, sir.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50So, she wins a popularity pageant on the Saturday
0:03:50 > 0:03:53and dies in suspicious circumstances on the Monday.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Yep. Popularity can't protect you from murder, sir.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00No, but it could form part of the motive, Slater.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Right, armchair detectives, let's go for it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Somebody's obviously loosened the wheel of the car.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14The two front wheels were new, the back wheels were old,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17so my guess is the person who is connected to this
0:04:17 > 0:04:22has got some sort of experience in regards to mechanics.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Well, the car was registered to somebody else.- Absolutely.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29And of course the crumpled note in the glove compartment reading "fraud".
0:04:29 > 0:04:30How very interesting.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Let's get details of the actual victim and talk through it.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Today we're investigating the death of Louise Cook..
0:04:37 > 0:04:39She was 25 when she died.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Louise was a previous winner
0:04:41 > 0:04:43of the Miss Mortcliff Pageant
0:04:43 > 0:04:44and PA to Mr Johnson
0:04:44 > 0:04:47at Mortcliff Motors.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49She was in a relationship.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52The cause of death is a high-impact collision
0:04:52 > 0:04:54causing fatal internal injuries.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57The time of death is estimated between 9am and 9.30am.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Mr Johnson who owns Mortcliff Motors,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05I want to know a bit more about him now.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Mm-hm, straight away.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Well, first of all it just says that she was in a relationship,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11but it doesn't say with whom, so it could have been
0:05:11 > 0:05:14with the joint owner Luke Ramsay, we don't know that yet.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16That's to be... Yet to be decided.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Would like to know where was she before 9am
0:05:18 > 0:05:21and who she was with on the morning.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Well, let's look at your first piece of evidence,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25see if we can move things forward.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29It is a note found at the crime scene and it is,
0:05:29 > 0:05:31as you thought, Laura, "Fraud".
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Fraud.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36How she won the beauty pageant probably wasn't legitimate
0:05:36 > 0:05:39in someone's eyes, so they wanted to make her pay for it
0:05:39 > 0:05:41and she paid the ultimate price.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45It is a note in the glove compartment so far...
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- It was kind of scrum... - It was scrumpled.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50It was kind of scrumpled up, wasn't it, when we saw it?
0:05:50 > 0:05:55Interesting, keep that in mind as we go on to round two,
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Last Movements.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00The mayor is hosting the annual Miss Mortcliff Beauty Pageant
0:06:00 > 0:06:03two days before Louise's death.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Notepads at the ready, let's head back to Mortcliff.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24This part of the competition is when we get an insight
0:06:24 > 0:06:30into how our participants would support Mortcliff, moving forward.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35In one sentence, Gemma, can you tell us why Mortcliff is great?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40It's the overwhelming sense of civic pride
0:06:40 > 0:06:43and community spirit that brings us together.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45APPLAUSE
0:06:51 > 0:06:54And finally, same question to you, Louise Cook.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57In one sentence, tell us why Mortcliff is great.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03It's the wide variety of local shops.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05APPLAUSE
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Time to announce the winner of the annual
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Miss Mortcliff Beauty Pageant.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18The winner will work very closely with me to promote Mortcliff.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Ladies and gents, will Louise Cook retain her crown
0:07:21 > 0:07:23or will we have a new person?
0:07:28 > 0:07:33And the winner of the 2017 Miss Mortcliff Beauty Pageant is...
0:07:34 > 0:07:35..Gemma Drummond.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Yes!
0:07:37 > 0:07:38CHEERING
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I'd just like to thank my mother who always taught me
0:07:49 > 0:07:52to believe in myself, and to my father..
0:07:52 > 0:07:53I'm terribly sorry, Gemma.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55There's been a terrible mistake.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57The actual winner is Louise Cook.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Oh, you've got to be kidding. Joking here?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05I'm terribly sorry, Gemma.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Don't worry, darling, I'll make everything all right.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21You haven't seen my shoes, have you?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23No.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Should we be going on holiday now, Lou?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30It's already paid for, Luke. It's only for two weeks.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34You can carry on looking for work once you get back.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Besides, it'll do you good to take a break.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39God, I'm going to be so late.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42You're already wearing shoes.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46I know, but these aren't comfortable to drive in. Never mind.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Have you moved the safe, babe?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56What are you doing?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Looking at our expenses and praying for a miracle.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Don't forget to put my winning fee into the budget, Mr Chancellor.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03I love you.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Where are you going?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Opening of the new Parryvale Supermarket,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10the mayor's really getting me out there.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21CAR ENGINE CHOKES
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Hi there. Yeah, I'd like to speak to someone about a personal loan.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34My car's bust again, can I take yours?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I was planning on going into town.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38It's in the other direction, please can I borrow it?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40I'm going to be so late.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43We need to have a serious chat about our holiday expenses, babe.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46When I come home, I promise.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Louise. I haven't said yes.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54I know you mean it. Deep down.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57There you go making my life difficult.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Hmm. Well, this is a good one.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Lots and lots of information in the film.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Right, the mayor had a bit of shuffling of the old envelopes.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Gemma's dad Gerry was..
0:10:23 > 0:10:26was none too pleased that his daughter
0:10:26 > 0:10:28was removed from being the winner.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30We don't know why the mix-up occurred.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32It was like the Oscars, wasn't it?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Yeah. Certainly did that... - I was thinking that.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39- Yeah.- Freddie Powell, I'm not sure what relationship
0:10:39 > 0:10:42he has to do with Louise, I just saw the name Freddie Powell
0:10:42 > 0:10:44and he seemed to be cheering when she won.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46At the beginning of that video,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48I don't know if the mayor was holding a bloody tissue
0:10:48 > 0:10:50or something like that. It looks bloodied,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- that's what I was thinking, so.. - Yeah.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55And then also, if I'm right in speaking,
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Louise winked at the mayor as well.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Yes, yeah.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03And on the envelope where she won, it...
0:11:03 > 0:11:06If I'm right in speaking, it had a red dot on the top corner.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Emma's name had a red dot as well, I was sure,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11because I noticed that and they read the name out.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Let's take a look at the suspects board because then
0:11:14 > 0:11:16we can talk in more detail about some of the people that we've met.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19We can now see Luke, who's Louise's boyfriend,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22and we also have three new suspects on the board.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Gemma Drummond, pageant contestant,
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Gerry Drummond, Gemma's father,
0:11:26 > 0:11:30and Freddie Powell who's a local resident.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33So what about Luke, first of all?
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Was the first thing he said, "Are we still going on this holiday?"
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Yes.- Because he was concerned about the expenses,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43but it was interesting the... "I haven't said yes to you
0:11:43 > 0:11:47"borrowing my car, you're just making my life difficult."
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- So she was driving...- Luke's car. - ..Luke's car.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Because hers was...
0:11:52 > 0:11:53Not working.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Gemma Drummond,
0:11:55 > 0:12:00so rudely snatched from her dream of being Miss Mortcliff 2017.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I think the one that was most... wazzed off was her father Gerry.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- Gerry. Mm-hm.- The one thing I'm curious about
0:12:06 > 0:12:08is what did Luke do as an occupation.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11If he's looking for a job now, what did he do in the past?
0:12:11 > 0:12:16- Yes.- Also Freddie is just a local resident, what does he do?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Because obviously if any of them have backgrounds
0:12:19 > 0:12:23in automotive vehicles, it could potentially put us closer.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Yeah. OK.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29You get to pick a piece of evidence from the following list.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31We have Louise's calendar
0:12:31 > 0:12:35or the service report on Luke's car
0:12:35 > 0:12:39and finally the pageant result envelopes.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42That's one answer to each of our questions.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Yes, it is, it is.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45I'd go for garage report,
0:12:45 > 0:12:49so we could find out whether it was roadworthy enough
0:12:49 > 0:12:51but there might have pre-warnings on it saying,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53look, this is a bit dodgy.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55That's what I'm homing towards as well.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00I was gearing towards the mayor's envelopes for a starter,
0:13:00 > 0:13:04but I am happy to go along with the garage report on the car.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05- Garage report?- Yeah.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09So you've gone for the garage report, let's take a look at that.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13So this is Sam's Garage Mortcliff Limited.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Customer is Louise Cook.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Sam Johnson is the technician.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22The front two tyres were replaced and the wheel nuts tightened,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24and the fuel pump was fixed.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Everything else in the report came back fine.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30So these are the three areas on the report that were highlighted.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Now it said in that report that the new tyres were put on
0:13:33 > 0:13:35the front and the wheel nuts tightened.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Why didn't they replace the back ones?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Were we told from the accident, from the scene of crime,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44that the wheel nuts had been loosened
0:13:44 > 0:13:46and one of the wheels came off?
0:13:46 > 0:13:47I've got it...
0:13:47 > 0:13:48I've got an arrow drawn to it
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- so I am assuming it was the front one that came off.- OK.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53I believe it was a rear one.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55OK.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Who do you think is most likely to be the killer so far?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Write the name down now.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Notepads away, armchair detectives.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Audrey, who's your prime suspect and why?
0:14:08 > 0:14:13At the moment it's Gerry because he looked one very disgruntled father.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Disappointed and he says, "I'm..."
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Basically, he was going to do something about it.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Yeah. Wisdom, who's your prime suspect and why?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I've also gone for Gerry.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25In regards to, like you said, the threat at the pageants.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Laura, prime suspect and why?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Our mystery man Freddie.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Really? Why?
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Because he's our mystery man,
0:14:33 > 0:14:37he's just hanging out at pageants for no apparent reason.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40So Audrey's gone for Gerry, Wisdom's gone for Gerry,
0:14:40 > 0:14:43and Laura has gone for our mystery man who we know nothing about
0:14:43 > 0:14:46and have barely met, Freddie.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49It's on to round three, the Police Interviews.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Knight and Slater have called in Luke, Gemma and Gerry for questioning.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Notepads at the ready, it's off to Mortcliff Police Station.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11She was the best thing that happened to me.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Been together for three years.
0:15:13 > 0:15:19Are you the registered keeper of the vehicle that Louise was driving?
0:15:19 > 0:15:23Yeah, but Sam Johnson gave it a full service yesterday.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26I don't know why the wheel's come off.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29He's meant to be a really good mechanic.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Sam Johnson?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33He owns the garage just off the high street.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37Sam's one of Lou's ex boyfriends, I don't know if that means anything.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Were he and Louise on good terms?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42He always gave her a good discount.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44How did you feel about that?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47What's that supposed to mean?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Mr Ramsay, we're going to have to ask some tough questions.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Now, how did you feel about your girlfriend
0:15:54 > 0:15:57going to her ex-boyfriend for car repairs?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Some men would have an issue with that.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00Not me.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Thank you.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Can you think of anyone who might have had a grudge against Louise?
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Gemma Drummond was pretty upset after the pageant,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13but Lou won fair and square.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18There was a weird note someone left on my car though.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Just said "Fraud", nothing else.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24I saw it on the windshield when I was waiting for Louise
0:16:24 > 0:16:26so I just chucked it into the glove compartment,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28didn't want her to see it.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Louise was made Miss Mortcliff last year
0:16:35 > 0:16:37and that's when I first met her.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39She did all sorts of events for the mayor
0:16:39 > 0:16:42when he was sick, which is often.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Did you think she was a good Miss Mortcliff?
0:16:45 > 0:16:46She was fine.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51But anyways, I gave better answers, I got more applause,
0:16:51 > 0:16:53and she's older than me.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55You know, past her sell-by date.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59She's only three years older than you.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Yeah, that's make or break in beauty terms.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Gemma, did you write a note calling Louise a fraud?
0:17:05 > 0:17:08What, me? I would never do something like that.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09So you wouldn't mind it
0:17:09 > 0:17:12if we arranged to get a sample of your handwriting?
0:17:14 > 0:17:15That won't be a problem.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24So just to confirm, Mr Drummond,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27you're saying you didn't know Louise?
0:17:27 > 0:17:31As I said, I know her by name and by sight,
0:17:31 > 0:17:37because she is in the same line of work as my daughter Gemma,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40but I do know Luke pretty well.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43He plays football for the Mortcliff Mammoths and I'm their coach.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Do you know what type of car Luke drives?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Mm-hm, yeah, why?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50What can you tell us about Luke?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52He's been struggling.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56He's been out of a job and I think it was beginning to get to him.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01Just last week, he and Freddie Powell, a mate of his,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03almost came to fisticuffs during a match.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Why was that?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Well, Luke's known for his temper on the pitch.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Everyone that knows him's seen it.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15I think Freddie was goading him about not being able
0:18:15 > 0:18:19to afford Louise, the usual "you're not good enough for her" nonsense,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21but I really couldn't tell you any more than that.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Right, right.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Luke involved in fisticuffs with Freddie,
0:18:30 > 0:18:35because of...Freddie is goading Luke about not being able
0:18:35 > 0:18:40to afford Louise, and Freddie was the other person to applaud
0:18:40 > 0:18:45Louise's answer about Mortcliff's shopping district.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49In my opinion now, I'm kind of gauging Freddie was probably
0:18:49 > 0:18:54trying to go for Luke in regards to loosening his tyres
0:18:54 > 0:18:59but obviously he wasn't aware that Louise would have been driving it,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- so obviously...- So you think it might have been mistaken...
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Yeah, mistaken identity. - What do you think, Audrey?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Gemma, she was a spiteful mare, wasn't she?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09You know, about her being three years older
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- and everything like that.- Yes, yes.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13And she was a bit of a.. a madam.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16She sounded like she was Daddy's little princess.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Let's bring the suspects up again.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21Luke, Gemma, Gerry, Freddie
0:19:21 > 0:19:25and now we have Sam Johnson, who we've added but not met yet.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Now, we know who Sam Johnson is, though, don't we?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- The mechanic. - Yeah, he owns a garage.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- The mechanic. - And Louise's ex-boyfriend.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Luke had been with Louise for three years
0:19:35 > 0:19:38so I think that's plenty of time for Sam to get over it.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Let's have a look at the evidence
0:19:39 > 0:19:42and see if we can pick something out that will help you.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43Again, you've got a choice.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Louise's calendar, the pageant result envelopes,
0:19:46 > 0:19:51or the forensics report on Luke's car tyre iron and wheel nut lock.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Initially, I was going for the mayor's envelope
0:19:54 > 0:19:56as the second option,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59but now that this one's come up, which is so annoying...
0:19:59 > 0:20:03It's a more detailed and a more exact science, so..
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I would like to see the calendar.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Right. Our second choice was the mayor's envelope,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10shall we go for the mayor's envelopes and get that out the way?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12I'd say go for the calendar.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13You've changed your mind now?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I'm saying the calendar because we technically went for the first one,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19so I reckon give Laura a shot, go for the calendar.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Yeah, all right, then, we'll go for the calendar.- Calendar?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- It's a democracy. - The calendar, please.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28It is a democracy so far. So this is Louise's calendar.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31Beauty pageant, footie,
0:20:31 > 0:20:34hair appointment, Tenerife.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- She was at the pageant on the Saturday.- Yeah.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40She was off the road on the Monday morning
0:20:40 > 0:20:43on her way to the supermarket opening.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- The supermarket.. - That was on the 5th.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I feel as though I'm missing something.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Well, she had football on the Sunday after the pageant,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52was there an incident at footie on the Sunday?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Because the next day she dies.
0:20:54 > 0:20:59OK, armchair detectives, it's time to pick your prime suspect again.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Write down your prime suspect now.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Notepads away, please.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Let's see who you've picked as your prime suspect this time.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Now, Audrey, last time you went for Gerry.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Have you stuck with Gerry?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Yes, I have, because there's nothing else at the moment
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- that's persuaded me to go to anybody else.- OK.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Wisdom, last time you went for Gerry. Have you stuck with Gerry?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32No. I have changed to Freddie.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Why?
0:21:33 > 0:21:38In a weird twisted way, this is Freddie's way of showing Luke
0:21:38 > 0:21:42she's a fantastic girl and since I can't have her, you can't either.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46And Laura, last time you went for Freddie.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Who've you gone for this time?
0:21:47 > 0:21:52At the moment, I've stayed with Freddie, I am considering Sam,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55and I just didn't change quite yet.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58OK. We have Audrey's gone for Gerry,
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Wisdom's gone for Freddie, and Laura's gone for Freddie as well.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05It's time now though for round four, Dig Deeper.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09It's handbags at dawn on the football field.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Notepads at the ready, let's head to Mortcliff.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Off! Now!
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Let it go, mate, it's not worth it.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28You're just going to let that sleazy ref walk all over us?
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Calm down.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Stop telling me to calm down, you're a pushover.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35No wonder Louise is bored with you.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Keep your mouth shut about Louise.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Or what? You'll realise she's bored with your moping and self pity.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42You're punching well above your weight, mate.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Stop it, now. Freddie, bench.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47What is wrong with you?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Want to talk about it?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Babe, you will find something soon.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02I promise.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05Coffee?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Will you take my car to the garage?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Fuel pump's playing up, I've booked it in.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Can't you cancel?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Sam's doing me a favour. It was fully booked, so...
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Pretty please.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I'll cook dinner.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25In that case.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Thanks, babe.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Luke...
0:23:42 > 0:23:44..it will be all right.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45I know it will.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Hello, gorgeous.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Hello gorgeous to you too.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Well done on your win, pal. - Thanks.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I'm heading off to town now, how long do you think it'll take?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Come back in a couple of hours and I'll throw in a full service.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13You're my hero.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Hey, gorgeous.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Ta very much.- Luke was right, it was the fuel pump.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27All fixed, gave you a couple of new tyres too.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29You're a star, Sam.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31I know, I just can't help myself. Here you are.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Paperwork's in the glove box. Jump in.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Out with it. I can see something's bothering you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- It's Luke. - When is it anything else?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- Sam!- Sorry, but seriously, Lou, ever since you've been with him
0:24:52 > 0:24:54it's just one crisis after another.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00It's just the longer he goes without work the more depressed he becomes.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02He's even talking about not going on holiday.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06And today Freddie sent me a text,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Luke got really aggressive with him at football.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Now he hasn't... He hasn't hurt you, has he?
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- Freddie?- No, though he is a stirrer, I mean Luke.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17What? Of course not.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20The guy's been unemployed for three months,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22I'm worried about him, that's all.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23OK.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26OK, listen, I'll call round later tonight,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28see if he wants to go to the pub with me.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Thank you. - I'll have a man chat.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34We'll play pool, drink a few pints, say nothing,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36he'll feel a lot better.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38You're the best.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Any time, you know that.
0:25:44 > 0:25:45I can't.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54DOORBELL RINGS
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Hey, Lukey.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07You come to say sorry?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09He's come to grov', haven't you, pal?
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Yeah, mate, sorry.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Is that a decent enough grovel? Grab your coat, pal.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26You three are a picture!
0:26:26 > 0:26:31My ex-boyfriend, my current boyfriend, and the boy I turned down.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Don't go getting a big head, babe.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Right, I'm going to head to the pub with the guys, just for one.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40OK. Have a good time.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Well...
0:26:48 > 0:26:51There's definitely a bit of rivalry between the lads.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Sam, you could tell by the way he was looking at her
0:26:53 > 0:26:57that he wanted her back, because when he sort of pulled her in
0:26:57 > 0:26:58and she went "no", type of thing.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01As for Freddie...
0:27:04 > 0:27:07The boyfriend that would have been.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Yes.- Yes.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11If we're talking about who has motive,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14who would want Louise dead,
0:27:14 > 0:27:19well, all the men like her, you know,
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- even though they are concerned about her welfare.- Cups.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25They were both holding coffee cups.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30The wrench, I reckon Sam was the one who had some sort of inkling
0:27:30 > 0:27:32because he obviously did the full service.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34How would he know the wrench was in the boot?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36OK. Let's take a look at the suspect board.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40We've got Luke, Gemma, Gerry, Freddie and Sam, who we've now met.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43I still think it was an accidental killing.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I don't think she was the intended victim
0:27:46 > 0:27:49because it was Luke's car and her... hers was playing up.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Sam wasn't to know until Louise turned up
0:27:52 > 0:27:56that she was going to be bringing in Luke's car,
0:27:56 > 0:28:00and then he was going to throw in the full service for free
0:28:00 > 0:28:01as a favour to her.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Yeah, but the thing is there's nothing stopping him
0:28:04 > 0:28:08sneaking round at some point and undoing some nuts
0:28:08 > 0:28:10and then thinking that Luke was going to get in his car
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- and unfortunately Louise did. - Well, let's see...
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Let's see if we can take you forward with another evidence pick.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17So there's the pageant result envelopes,
0:28:17 > 0:28:21the forensics report on Luke's car, tyre iron and wheel nut lock,
0:28:21 > 0:28:26and the new item is a plant pot from outside Louise and Luke's home.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29I think we should go for the tyre and forensics.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- Yeah, I want to go for the tyre... - So you want to see that.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- The tyre.- Laura? Forensics?- Yep.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Let's go for the forensic report. So...
0:28:38 > 0:28:41that's the wheel nut lock, quad wrench, fingerprint analysis,
0:28:41 > 0:28:45print match - Sam Johnson and Luke Ramsay.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Fibres - neoprene, and there's soil sediment there as well.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Well, it's Luke's car, so we would expect his fingerprints to be there.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Yes. Yes, that's right, yeah.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56Sam's performed the service,
0:28:56 > 0:28:59so they're the only ones with access to the keys.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00The soil sediment.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05- Yep.- Well, it went down an embankment. I've no idea...
0:29:05 > 0:29:07I don't know what neoprene is.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Let's bring up the suspect board again.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Luke, Gemma, Gerry, Freddie and Sam. Again, this...
0:29:12 > 0:29:17Sam and Luke's prints are found on that nut lock.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Because they keep showing the safe and they keep showing the keys.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Sam had the keys for a couple of hours.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Yes.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27What about if he made a copy of the keys?
0:29:27 > 0:29:28Quite easily.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Well, guys, unfortunately it's time for you
0:29:31 > 0:29:34to pick your prime suspect again.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Please write down the name of your prime suspect now.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Armchair detectives, notepads away, please.
0:29:45 > 0:29:46Let's see who you've picked.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Now, Audrey, last time your prime suspect was Gerry.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51- Yes.- Have you stuck with Gerry?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- No. I've gone for Sam this time. - Have you?
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Sam's got that twinkle in his eye, he wants her back,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00and he basically thinks Luke is not good enough for her,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03he's out of work, he's a hard-working guy.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04Yeah. Wisdom?
0:30:04 > 0:30:08Last time you went for Freddie. Have you changed your mind?
0:30:08 > 0:30:09- Yep.- Who have you gone for?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I have now gone for Sam.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Sam. For similar reasons to Audrey?
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Yes, and also something I've just realised,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19in regards to his fingerprints being on the wrench,
0:30:19 > 0:30:21he may have worn gloves to take a precaution
0:30:21 > 0:30:24but there may have been a hole in them, but he didn't realise.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26There may well have been.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Laura, last time you went for Freddie,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- have you stuck with Freddie?- No.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Who have you gone for?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Of my three suspect, I've now gone for Gerry.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39So you've gone...
0:30:39 > 0:30:40I've gone back to Gerry.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Why?
0:30:42 > 0:30:47Well, in his interview, he plays football with Freddie
0:30:47 > 0:30:49and Luke,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52he knew all about the argument.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57It's just that background, the only one that would really benefit
0:30:57 > 0:31:00from Louise not being in the picture any more.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05Right. Audrey has gone for Sam, Wisdom has gone for Sam,
0:31:05 > 0:31:08and Laura has gone for Gerry.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10It's round five now, the Final Clues.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Knight and Slater are almost at the end of the catwalk
0:31:12 > 0:31:16but how close are they to finding the killer of Miss Mortcliff?
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Notepads at the ready, we're heading back to Mortcliff police station.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Ah. Simmons. What do you have for us?
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Done some more tests on the car, based on the shearing that occurred,
0:31:34 > 0:31:36the nuts on the front passenger wheel
0:31:36 > 0:31:39have been deliberately loosened, as was the locking wheel nut
0:31:39 > 0:31:42which needs a specific tool to loosen and tighten it.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45So it definitely was intentional harm.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47We need to speak to Sam.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Louise brought the car in for a service,
0:31:53 > 0:31:57we checked the tyres for wear and tear, cuts and bulges.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59There wasn't enough tread on the front two
0:31:59 > 0:32:01so we replaced those as part of the service.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Generous of you.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Any chance the wheel nut wasn't done up properly?
0:32:07 > 0:32:08That's something we triple check.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Besides, the car had its own locking nut which Luke keeps in the boot.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16We used it, I double-checked it and then we put it back.
0:32:16 > 0:32:17Any other issues?
0:32:17 > 0:32:19No.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21How well do you know Louise?
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Pretty well.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28She and I went out for about a year before she met Luke.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30And he didn't have a problem
0:32:30 > 0:32:33asking his girlfriend to bring his car to you?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Louise and I were friends, always.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38What do you think of Luke?
0:32:41 > 0:32:45Known him since school, stand-up guy.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47He's moody though.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52Louise was worried about him, she thought he was depressed,
0:32:52 > 0:32:55so Freddie and I took him out to try cheer him up.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Had your car been broken into prior to this?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14No break-ins, the alarm hasn't gone off.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Louise kept our keys locked in a safe overnight.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21She was paranoid someone was going to steal the cars.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Only we knew the code.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Was the code guessable? Birthday, anniversary?
0:33:26 > 0:33:31Lou did random computer password searches for everything,
0:33:31 > 0:33:34for the safe, for all of her devices,
0:33:34 > 0:33:37sometimes I struggle to remember them.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Mr Ramsay, have you considered that whoever did this
0:33:40 > 0:33:44thought you'd be driving your car yesterday?
0:33:44 > 0:33:49Can you think of anyone who might have a grudge against you?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Are you saying she was killed by accident?
0:33:53 > 0:33:55It was meant to be me?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00I can think of loads of people that don't like me,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02I wouldn't know where to start.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07This just makes everything a whole lot worse.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15When did you last see Louise?
0:34:15 > 0:34:18I saw her on Sunday evening when Sam and me
0:34:18 > 0:34:19took her boyfriend Luke to the pub.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Sam lives a bit further out so he drove to the pub
0:34:23 > 0:34:26and took a taxi home.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28I walked with Luke as I live across the street from them.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33I did see something a bit worrying on the morning of the crash.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Louise left the house in a hurry,
0:34:38 > 0:34:40and Luke shouted at her,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42she shouted back.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Do you always watch what's going on outside Luke and Louise's house?
0:34:46 > 0:34:48It was the argument that caught my attention.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Thank you, Mr Powell, that's all for now.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Hmm. What's occurred to you?
0:34:57 > 0:35:01I think Freddie might have a touch of stalking, you know what I mean?
0:35:01 > 0:35:05He so happened to be looking out when they had a row and storming out.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09- Yeah.- Saying that they were arguing, they clearly weren't,
0:35:09 > 0:35:11he just was, like, "OK, she's gone in the car"
0:35:11 > 0:35:14- and sat down and carried on what he was doing.- Yeah.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16He didn't shout at her, they weren't having an argument.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19No, but they were trying to play on the violence
0:35:19 > 0:35:22that Luke has a history of,
0:35:22 > 0:35:25because it was mentioned by Sam and it was mentioned by Freddie.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- Yeah.- You've got an opportunity now though
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- to possibly answer some of your questions.- Yeah.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33It's time for your final evidence pick.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Now there are two pieces of evidence left,
0:35:36 > 0:35:38the pageant results envelopes
0:35:38 > 0:35:42or a plant pot from outside Louise and Luke's home.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44I'm going to go with the plant pot
0:35:44 > 0:35:47because I want to instantly rule out Gemma and Gerry.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51I think it all lies in the piece of evidence that we don't pick.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55I'm going to go with the mayor's envelopes.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Oh, my goodness, Audrey.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Yeah, because that's been there from the beginning.- Oh, no.
0:36:01 > 0:36:02You've got the casting vote.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Because I was going to go for the plant pot and now...
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- now that the envelope's back in the...- Don't look at them, Lauren,
0:36:08 > 0:36:09make your own decision.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11No, no, we'll go with the mayor, we're switching,
0:36:11 > 0:36:13we'll go with the mayor, we're switching.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16We're going with the mayor's envelopes,
0:36:16 > 0:36:19no changing of mind allowed now, no changing of mind allowed.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Yeah.- We have four envelopes.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24NP, KH, LC, GD.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28The GD and LC have orange dots at the top.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- Someone's drawn GD to rig it.- Yeah.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36Maybe Louise's one was obscured by the other two
0:36:36 > 0:36:39and he saw the first orange dot, picked it out
0:36:39 > 0:36:42and then somebody whispered in his ear, "No, no, it's Louise."
0:36:42 > 0:36:46Well, armchair detectives, now we've cleared everything up...
0:36:46 > 0:36:49..you're about to make your final accusation.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51It's time to answer the only question that matters.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Whodunnit?
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Time's up, armchair detectives, notepads down.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Right, let's find out who you've accused.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Audrey, who have you accused?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Well, God, I've changed horses again.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12I've gone to Freddie this time.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Right! - The reason being that he lied.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- Yeah.- He lied to the police that they were having an argument
0:37:18 > 0:37:20at the door which we saw they clearly didn't.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Wisdom, who are you accusing?
0:37:23 > 0:37:24I'm accusing Sam.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Sam. Because?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29The DNA on the wrench,
0:37:29 > 0:37:34the fact that he wanted to get back with her when he...
0:37:34 > 0:37:36That's what I'm thinking, I'm going to stick with that.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39OK. Laura, who are you j'accusing?
0:37:39 > 0:37:40J'accuse Freddie.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Why?
0:37:42 > 0:37:45I've gone back to him because he's across...
0:37:45 > 0:37:49We didn't know before that he was across the road,
0:37:49 > 0:37:51he's trying to set up Luke
0:37:51 > 0:37:55and we know that he's friends with Sam, so he's just...
0:37:55 > 0:37:57He's all over the place.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Audrey is accusing Freddie.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Wisdom is accusing Sam
0:38:02 > 0:38:05and Laura is accusing Freddie.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09For what it's worth, armchair detectives, I am accusing Freddie.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12So the last piece of evidence has been left,
0:38:12 > 0:38:13will this confirm your choices?
0:38:13 > 0:38:18It's a plant pot from outside Louise and Luke's home.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Keys to access front and rear doors of the property of the victim
0:38:21 > 0:38:24were stored beneath a plant pot outside the main entrance.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Luke Ramsay, resident of the property states
0:38:27 > 0:38:30the keys were stored there for the past five months.
0:38:30 > 0:38:37Excellent, because we had these soil traces on the wheel nut
0:38:37 > 0:38:40and now we know that, you know, creepy...
0:38:40 > 0:38:45creepy Freddie who knows every coming and going from the house..
0:38:45 > 0:38:46Mm.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48He knew where the keys were.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52What really happened in today's story, Driving Miss Mortcliff?
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Who killed Louise Cook?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Let's find out whodunnit.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07The accident happened on Monday morning, meaning the wheel nuts
0:39:07 > 0:39:09must have been loosened on Sunday night.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13How do you loosen the nuts using the locking wheel nut key
0:39:13 > 0:39:15that's inside the locked car?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Normally, you need to put the key in the lock but with some modern cars
0:39:18 > 0:39:21you don't even need to take the key out of your pocket.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26Good point, Slater, but Louise kept her keys in a safe.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30A portable safe, sir.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Ah. A safe that could be picked up, taken outside
0:39:34 > 0:39:38so the key is within range in order to unlock the car.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42So the murderer must have had access to the safe
0:39:42 > 0:39:44inside Louise and Luke's house.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48Well, I mean, the only people who had access to the house were
0:39:48 > 0:39:53Louise, Freddie, Luke and Sam.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57If our assumption is correct and Luke was the intended victim,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00that leaves Sam and Freddie,
0:40:00 > 0:40:02and Sam didn't like Luke much.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Sam had a couple of drinks at the pub, caught a taxi back home,
0:40:05 > 0:40:08but he lives too far away to make it back in time.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10That just leaves Freddie.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Motive?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Well, he did take an abnormal interest in Luke
0:40:14 > 0:40:18and Louise's relationship. I think he liked her...a lot.
0:40:18 > 0:40:23I mean, who in their right mind would attend a beauty pageant?
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Proud parent, proud boyfriend... Hang on.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- Freddie was there too, wasn't he? - Yeah.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32Say Freddie had a crush on Louise,
0:40:32 > 0:40:35he asked her out in the past and she said "no".
0:40:35 > 0:40:38Luke's version of the events was a lot different to Freddie's.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40He hyped up the interaction between the couple
0:40:40 > 0:40:42on the morning of her death.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Maybe Freddie thought that removing Luke from the situation
0:40:46 > 0:40:49would mean he would have a better chance with her.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51How did Freddie gain access though?
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Do you remember the plant pot outside Luke's house?
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Freddie lived just across the street, he must have known
0:40:58 > 0:41:01where they kept the spare key, underneath that plant pot.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04He could have snuck in on the night of the Sunday,
0:41:04 > 0:41:06put the safe next to the car,
0:41:06 > 0:41:09searched the car, found the locking wheel nut key
0:41:09 > 0:41:13and loosened the nut on the front passenger wheel.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17- Fully expecting Luke to use his own car the following morning.- Right.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20The handwriting analysis,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23I thought you'd like to know it was Freddie Powell
0:41:23 > 0:41:24who wrote the fraud note.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Why would Freddie call Louise a fraud? He wanted her to win.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Yeah, but maybe the note wasn't for Louise.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33Maybe the note was for Luke.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36I'll go with that.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38So Louise's car breaks down on Monday morning
0:41:38 > 0:41:41forcing her to use Luke's car.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Simmons, when you dusted the car,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46did you find Freddie's prints inside it?
0:41:46 > 0:41:50No, but I did find mud and synthetic fibres
0:41:50 > 0:41:52including rubber and neoprene.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56The same fibres as used in goalie gloves.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Well saved, Simmons.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01And you are on fire.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Go get your man, Slater.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14APPLAUSE
0:42:14 > 0:42:20It was indeed Freddie who committed the crime.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Congratulations, Audrey and Laura, you picked the killer
0:42:23 > 0:42:24and are today's winner
0:42:24 > 0:42:27and get another golden magnifying glass trophy!
0:42:30 > 0:42:31Well done.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Wisdom, nearly there.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37If you'd seen the plant pot evidence would you have gone for Freddie?
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Yeah.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Just shows you the evidence picks makes the difference, doesn't it?
0:42:42 > 0:42:46Armchair detectives, how many of you got that right?
0:42:46 > 0:42:47Ah, quite a lot of you.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49That's all from Armchair Detectives.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54Tomorrow, we'll find Knight and Slater investigating a crime
0:42:54 > 0:42:58at the local library, but who will they throw the book at?
0:42:58 > 0:43:02And remember, no-one gets away with murder in Mortcliff.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Goodbye.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08Well done, well done. Well done.
