Welcome to Armchair Detectives!

0:00:280:00:30

15 murder-mystery enthusiasts are chomping at the bit

0:00:300:00:33

to solve today's crime.

0:00:330:00:34

They'll work through the evidence coming in from Mortcliff,

0:00:340:00:37

a village with its fair share of criminal masterminds.

0:00:370:00:41

Looks lovely, doesn't it?

0:00:410:00:43

The police team with the clues in Mortcliff are DI Knight,

0:00:430:00:46

DC Slater, and Scene Of Crime Officer Simmons.

0:00:460:00:50

Let's meet our very competitive amateur detectives. There they are.

0:00:500:00:54

-Hello! ALL:

-Hi!

0:00:540:00:56

They all just want to get started - it's beautiful!

0:00:560:00:59

Well, only three of you play each day, so please

0:00:590:01:02

take your armchairs, Wisdom, James, and Toria.

0:01:020:01:05

Come on up!

0:01:050:01:06

As you know by now, the detective guessing the killer correctly

0:01:120:01:16

will win one of these, our golden magnifying glass trophy!

0:01:160:01:20

-ALL:

-Whoo!

0:01:200:01:22

It's what everyone wants.

0:01:220:01:24

James and Toria, you both won last time.

0:01:240:01:27

Wisdom, unfortunately, you didn't.

0:01:270:01:29

How are you going to approach it to try and get one of those trophies?

0:01:290:01:33

Be more attentive, listen, and actually analyse

0:01:330:01:37

-the whole screen properly.

-Excellent!

0:01:370:01:40

Now, at home and in the studio, I don't know who the killer is either.

0:01:400:01:44

So I will be playing along with the detectives.

0:01:440:01:46

But I don't get to win a trophy if I guess correctly.

0:01:460:01:48

What?! Hang on a second!

0:01:480:01:51

It's the only reason I'm here.

0:01:510:01:53

It's time for round one.

0:01:530:01:55

The crime scene.

0:01:550:01:57

We join Knight and Slater as they arrive

0:01:570:01:59

to meet Simmons at Parsleybed Farm.

0:01:590:02:02

For the first time today, let's head over to the outskirts of Mortcliff.

0:02:020:02:07

What?

0:02:240:02:25

You cleared it, no?

0:02:270:02:28

Get on with it.

0:02:300:02:31

Victim's a farmer, Miss Hettie Garland.

0:02:320:02:35

Found today, sir.

0:02:350:02:36

Body was discovered by a Lucy Byrne.

0:02:370:02:39

Campaigner from Mamam, Mortcliff Against Meat And Milk.

0:02:400:02:44

About time.

0:02:490:02:51

-Treacherous world out there.

-Vegans.

0:02:510:02:53

Death estimated fairly recently.

0:02:530:02:56

Around 1300 hours. She lay exactly as you see her.

0:02:560:03:00

Bathtub full of cold water, as well as this jacket.

0:03:000:03:04

That anything to do with the death?

0:03:060:03:08

We'll bag it and see. No obvious physical marks on the victim.

0:03:090:03:15

Heart attack, maybe?

0:03:150:03:17

It's possible. She's 50, though.

0:03:170:03:20

Apparently in excellent physical health.

0:03:200:03:23

Look at these. Footprints.

0:03:230:03:25

Roughly size 11. Oddly marked there...

0:03:250:03:29

..and there. We're taking impressions.

0:03:310:03:34

There are also quite a few footprints in and out of the barn.

0:03:340:03:36

-Tyre tracks?

-Loads.

0:03:360:03:38

The most recent ones are made by a 4x4.

0:03:390:03:41

You might want to talk to the young woman who found the victim

0:03:420:03:45

-while we take more samples.

-All right, then.

0:03:450:03:47

Oh, one more thing.

0:03:490:03:50

-We found a gold coin.

-Any idea where it's from?

0:03:510:03:53

It's very old. That's all I can tell you.

0:03:530:03:56

You might want to talk to the local museum.

0:03:560:03:58

They may be able to help you.

0:03:580:04:01

I'll send you a photograph.

0:04:010:04:02

Let's get this over with. I hate the countryside.

0:04:040:04:06

-Thanks for waiting, Miss Byrne.

-Have we met?

0:04:130:04:16

I don't think so. Can you tell us what happened?

0:04:170:04:20

Well, I came over to see Hettie. There was no answer at the house,

0:04:200:04:23

so I came down to the barn. And that's where I found her.

0:04:230:04:26

Haven't you attended a few of our meetings?

0:04:270:04:30

-You've been wearing those all day, presumably.

-Oh, yes.

0:04:310:04:34

You! Stop!

0:04:380:04:39

I'm so sorry - these damned boots!

0:04:450:04:49

His boot kept slipping off the pedal, poor bloke!

0:04:490:04:51

You do realise you may have compromised a crime scene?

0:04:510:04:53

Oh, no! I'm terribly sorry.

0:04:530:04:56

Are you from around here?

0:04:560:04:58

Just down the village.

0:04:580:05:00

-What's with all the kit?

-We're detectorists.

0:05:000:05:02

Nothing serious, just a hobby. Is everything all right?

0:05:040:05:07

The investigation is still ongoing.

0:05:080:05:10

If you could...

0:05:110:05:13

Oh, yeah, of course.

0:05:130:05:14

-That's odd behaviour.

-Indeed.

0:05:260:05:29

Come on, let's pay a visit to the museum.

0:05:320:05:35

Might as well start with the gold coin.

0:05:350:05:37

They came in last week.

0:05:410:05:42

Viking, we believe.

0:05:460:05:47

It's going to revolutionise the museum.

0:05:470:05:50

So, it is this same type of coin?

0:05:500:05:55

Without actually seeing it, I can't say for sure. But it looks like it

0:05:570:06:02

-could be 18th century.

-So it doesn't correlate with this haul?

0:06:020:06:05

I just can't tell.

0:06:090:06:10

Send me over a more detailed photograph and I'll be able to

0:06:120:06:14

give you more information.

0:06:140:06:15

How much is something like this worth?

0:06:170:06:19

It's difficult to say exactly. About 300,000 for this lot, for starters.

0:06:200:06:26

Whoa!

0:06:260:06:27

-ANNOUNCEMENT:

-Attention.

0:06:270:06:28

The museum will close in five minutes. Thank you.

0:06:280:06:31

I still have a fair amount to do before we close,

0:06:310:06:33

but if you'd like to come back tomorrow...

0:06:330:06:35

Of course! Thank you for your time.

0:06:350:06:37

And congratulations on your unique find.

0:06:370:06:40

Well, it wasn't exactly mine.

0:06:400:06:42

A volunteer?

0:06:430:06:45

Toby and Mackenzie. They're locals.

0:06:450:06:47

I really need to get on.

0:06:470:06:49

So, Armchair Detectives,

0:06:530:06:56

talk amongst yourselves - what did you see?

0:06:560:06:58

I think Tracey knows what that coin is.

0:06:580:07:01

-Do you think she does?

-Yeah.

0:07:010:07:03

But that coin's worth a lot. Don't you think...?

0:07:030:07:05

No, it was a collection of coins that was worth the 300,000.

0:07:050:07:08

So there clearly has been a find recently.

0:07:080:07:11

What I took from it, with the clip with Hettie,

0:07:110:07:14

she is 50 years old, she was found facedown

0:07:140:07:17

near a bath of cold water. I was thinking she had been

0:07:170:07:20

electrocuted because of the fire nearby.

0:07:200:07:22

Did you notice when Toby and McKenzie got out

0:07:220:07:24

of the 4x4, Toby went straight to the back and changed his shoes?

0:07:240:07:28

Yes, because he said that the shoes were slipping.

0:07:280:07:31

Quite unusual behaviour to drive your Land Rover through police tape.

0:07:330:07:36

Isn't it? Although I did enjoy DI Knight's "You! Stop!"

0:07:360:07:41

I mean, that was quite masculine.

0:07:410:07:43

As Soco Simmons said, there is 4x4 tyre tracks found,

0:07:430:07:47

and quite a lot, she said.

0:07:470:07:49

So is it possible that he is trying to tamper

0:07:490:07:52

with the crime scene by driving through,

0:07:520:07:54

-and using that as an excuse?

-OK.

0:07:540:07:56

Basically, the museum time was 4:40,

0:07:560:07:59

and it said in the Tannoy, "The museum closes in five minutes."

0:07:590:08:02

Which means the time must be 4:45.

0:08:020:08:05

Well, tell you what - let's focus on the victim.

0:08:050:08:08

Today's victim is Hettie Garland. Hettie was a dairy farmer, aged 50.

0:08:080:08:11

She was a widow with no children. Hettie had a very active work life.

0:08:140:08:18

The cause of death is a suspected heart failure.

0:08:180:08:22

And the estimated time of death is approximately 1pm.

0:08:220:08:25

Suspected heart failure and the fact that she was facedown...

0:08:260:08:30

There's something I need to look into.

0:08:310:08:33

James, Toria, anything jumping out at you?

0:08:330:08:36

The approximate time of death is when the museum is on a break.

0:08:360:08:41

-Yeah...

-So I immediately...

0:08:410:08:43

-Makes me think.

-I'm immediately starting to suspect Tracey.

0:08:430:08:48

We haven't even got to the suspects board yet, James!

0:08:480:08:51

Let's go there before James goes, "J'accuse!"

0:08:510:08:53

We've got Lucy Byrne, who is an environmentalist.

0:08:540:08:57

Toby Featherstone, a detectorist.

0:08:580:09:00

Mackenzie Long, a detectorist. And Tracey Tate, a historian.

0:09:010:09:07

Lucy is friends with Hettie - she came over to visit.

0:09:070:09:10

But would they be friends? Because she's an environmentalist

0:09:100:09:13

and isn't she anti-meat, dairy products?

0:09:130:09:16

But why did she come over to see her, then?

0:09:160:09:17

-Exactly!

-In order to discuss something?

0:09:170:09:20

Well, let's start you off with some evidence, Armchair Detectives.

0:09:210:09:24

Here is your first piece of evidence, a poster from the museum.

0:09:240:09:29

I think it's closing down,

0:09:350:09:37

because they're saying "save Mortcliff Museum".

0:09:370:09:40

But I'm wondering if that also means the artefacts

0:09:400:09:43

are going somewhere else.

0:09:430:09:44

So, the point is they want

0:09:440:09:46

to make sure it's not lost or goes elsewhere.

0:09:460:09:49

I don't know that affects who benefits, if there is a find,

0:09:490:09:52

if something's found there, does it go somewhere else?

0:09:520:09:55

It doesn't stay in town?

0:09:550:09:56

Looking at, like, the postcode and, like, the telephone number,

0:09:560:10:00

I've taken notes of them just in case that comes up. Because...

0:10:000:10:04

You never know! How many times have we done the show,

0:10:040:10:07

and about 40 minutes in, someone says, "What time was that?"

0:10:070:10:11

And everyone goes, "Oh, no! I didn't write it down!"

0:10:110:10:14

So, Wisdom, good job! OK, that's the poster.

0:10:140:10:18

We have some suspects - let's delve a little bit

0:10:180:10:20

more into what happened.

0:10:200:10:22

It's round two, Last Movements.

0:10:230:10:26

Let's find out what happened at Parsleybed Farm just

0:10:260:10:29

before Hettie's murder.

0:10:290:10:31

Notepads at the ready.

0:10:310:10:33

Off we go, to Mortcliff.

0:10:330:10:34

-Hi, there. Hettie Garland?

-Are you from HMRC?

0:10:470:10:52

No, I'm from Mamam, actually. Mortcliff Against Meat And Milk.

0:10:520:10:56

I was chatting to the vet earlier - she mentioned something

0:10:560:10:59

about your cows not having had their seasonal checkups.

0:10:590:11:02

My, you're a nosy one, aren't you?

0:11:020:11:04

And as for that vet, what about client patient confidentiality?

0:11:040:11:09

We can help you, if you're having financial difficulties.

0:11:090:11:13

We've got a fund dedicated to the well-being of cattle -

0:11:130:11:15

-you could apply for open access.

-It's too late for that.

0:11:150:11:18

Milk farming is the fastest route to financial ruin.

0:11:190:11:22

I've sold my herd to the abattoir.

0:11:230:11:26

They'll be collected in a couple of days.

0:11:260:11:28

Look at it.

0:11:280:11:30

In two weeks, that's going to be the first soft-play area in Mortcliff.

0:11:300:11:36

And I'm going to convert my fields into a mini golf course.

0:11:360:11:40

But the increased traffic!

0:11:400:11:41

-Not to mention the slaughter!

-Don't patronise me!

0:11:410:11:44

I cannot condone the wholesale murdering of cows!

0:11:440:11:47

You spoiled brats have no idea!

0:11:470:11:50

By 2020, we're looking at the destruction of a variety of species.

0:11:500:11:54

Migration of entire cultures on an unprecedented scale!

0:11:550:11:58

Thanks to climate change, which is fast-tracked

0:11:580:12:01

-by industrialised meat farming!

-Look!

0:12:010:12:04

There are no machines in there. I need to make a living.

0:12:040:12:08

It's the After 12 Show. Excuse me.

0:12:110:12:14

Bloody do-gooders!

0:12:200:12:21

Toria, does that answer your question

0:12:360:12:37

about whether the victim and the young lady were friends?

0:12:370:12:40

Yes, I think so. Subtly.

0:12:430:12:45

I'm not particularly suspicious of her, though...

0:12:450:12:47

-No.

-..in terms of the actual killing.

0:12:470:12:48

-I think she...

-Yeah, I think she's... Yeah...

0:12:480:12:51

Because she's an environmentalist, I don't think murder is something

0:12:510:12:54

that would cross her mind. If she wants to save animals

0:12:540:12:57

and the farm and all this, that and the other,

0:12:570:12:59

I don't think she would take someone's life.

0:12:590:13:01

It also confirms that Lucy was lying,

0:13:010:13:03

cos she said that she hadn't saw her, that she had just come over.

0:13:030:13:08

-So Lucy was lying.

-Let's take another look at the suspects.

0:13:080:13:12

Lucy, who we've just seen.

0:13:120:13:14

Toby, Mackenzie, and Tracey. Now we don't know a huge amount

0:13:140:13:18

about some of the suspects yet.

0:13:180:13:20

But have you changed your opinion on anybody on the board?

0:13:200:13:23

I suspected Tracey, but I've got a sneaking suspicion

0:13:230:13:27

that her and Toby are in cahoots.

0:13:270:13:30

In regards to Tracey collects the artefacts,

0:13:300:13:34

Toby had a suspicion that something was on Hettie's farm,

0:13:340:13:37

but Hettie wouldn't give it up or something.

0:13:370:13:39

So, they had to find a way to get rid of her, get what he needs to

0:13:390:13:42

get, and then get out.

0:13:420:13:44

Well, it's time for you to pick some more evidence from the list.

0:13:440:13:48

We have either...

0:13:480:13:49

a forensic report of tape found on Hettie's heater wire,

0:13:490:13:54

or a photograph of mud tracks and footprints found

0:13:540:13:59

at Parsleybed Farm, and finally CCTV of a 4x4 near Parsleybed Farm.

0:13:590:14:06

In regards to CCTV, we don't know the time,

0:14:060:14:09

so it could be at any time.

0:14:090:14:11

-Yes.

-I mean, obviously we'd want it to be 12:30 and 1,

0:14:110:14:15

but it could even be earlier.

0:14:150:14:17

I'm always persuaded by CCTV, though, I think it's good.

0:14:170:14:21

But if we see the numberplate... I'm just thinking it

0:14:210:14:23

could be any 4x4 but if we see the numberplate,

0:14:230:14:25

we might be able to see if it belonged to...

0:14:250:14:27

Did you write down the numberplate? Of course you did, sorry.

0:14:270:14:30

But then there's the tape on the...

0:14:300:14:34

That would confirm if it is someone's put the heater

0:14:340:14:37

-into the bathtub.

-I'm swaying more towards the CCTV.

0:14:370:14:42

OK. What would you like?

0:14:420:14:44

Take a vote if you need to.

0:14:440:14:45

I'm happy with anything, but I will go the CCTV.

0:14:470:14:49

CCTV! OK! Going for the CCTV.

0:14:490:14:53

So this is a still taken from CCTV at the gate

0:14:540:15:00

of Parsleybed Farm, taken around the time of the murder.

0:15:000:15:04

Toria. You told me you'd written it down.

0:15:040:15:08

It's not the same vehicle.

0:15:080:15:10

But it's very close.

0:15:130:15:15

-Yes, that what I was thinking.

-It is very close.

0:15:150:15:17

What's the registration you've got written down?

0:15:170:15:19

A201 CDF.

0:15:190:15:21

On the CCTV, I can confirm the numberplate is A201 OBE.

0:15:220:15:26

-So it's not the same.

-It's not.

0:15:260:15:29

-OK.

-They did say there was multiple tracks.

0:15:320:15:34

Which means, obviously, more than one person owns a 4x4.

0:15:350:15:39

With a very similar numberplate.

0:15:390:15:42

So, Armchair Detectives, you're about to lock in

0:15:420:15:45

your prime suspect.

0:15:450:15:47

Pens at the ready, write down who it is.

0:15:470:15:50

Notepads away, please, Armchair Detectives.

0:15:590:16:02

So, who have you picked as your primary suspect, Wisdom?

0:16:020:16:06

I've gone for Tracey.

0:16:060:16:08

Why?

0:16:080:16:10

I think, in regards to transporting artefacts

0:16:100:16:13

from one place to another, she hasn't got a lorry or something.

0:16:130:16:16

I reckon she also owns a 4x4.

0:16:160:16:18

-James, who've you gone for?

-I've also went for Tracey Tate.

0:16:190:16:23

Oh, my goodness, she's popular. Why?

0:16:230:16:26

I'm still a little bit suspicious about the museum

0:16:260:16:29

and closing and things like that, and we did have a big clue

0:16:290:16:34

with the times of when the museum's left unattended.

0:16:340:16:39

Toria, who've you gone for?

0:16:390:16:41

I'm also going with Tracey.

0:16:410:16:43

-Why have you gone for Tracey?

-There's definite suspicion there.

0:16:430:16:47

We don't know anything about the other two guys.

0:16:470:16:49

And Lucy, I'm not really that suspicious of.

0:16:490:16:54

Maybe I should be?

0:16:540:16:55

Armchair Detectives, I play along,

0:16:550:16:57

as I've said, and she's also the one I've chosen.

0:16:570:17:00

So, at the moment, we think Tracey's bang to rights, quite frankly.

0:17:020:17:06

Let's see if we can find out anything more about the crime,

0:17:060:17:09

though, and see if we change our minds.

0:17:090:17:11

It's on to round three. The Police Interviews.

0:17:110:17:14

Who can take the pressure of Knight and Slater's interrogation?

0:17:140:17:18

Notepads at the ready! We're off to Mortcliff Police Station.

0:17:180:17:22

-Mr Long.

-Mac, please.

0:17:300:17:32

How long have you and your friend...

0:17:330:17:35

-Toby.

-..Toby Featherstone been metal detecting in that area?

0:17:370:17:42

A couple of weeks.

0:17:450:17:46

-On Hettie's land?

-On Angus Brown's farm, actually.

0:17:460:17:50

-It's adjacent to Hettie's.

-Do you recognise this at all?

0:17:500:17:53

It's Toby's. It's 18th century. How did you get it?

0:17:560:17:58

It was found at the barn.

0:17:580:18:00

Well, we helped to fix her heater. It probably fell out of his pocket.

0:18:020:18:06

He carries a rare gold coin in his pocket?

0:18:060:18:09

It's his lucky charm. That's his first find.

0:18:090:18:12

He probably dropped it when we were there the other day.

0:18:120:18:15

Where were you at one o'clock yesterday?

0:18:150:18:17

At the museum.

0:18:180:18:20

Found anything exciting recently?

0:18:200:18:22

Yeah.

0:18:220:18:23

A fairly big haul.

0:18:250:18:26

Tracey Tate is looking after it - she works at the museum.

0:18:270:18:31

How do you know Tracey?

0:18:310:18:32

-I'm recently divorced, so I'd appreciate it if you'd...

-Of course.

0:18:330:18:38

She's my girlfriend.

0:18:420:18:43

Now, Miss Byrne, thank you for outlining

0:18:480:18:51

your organisation's long-term goals.

0:18:510:18:53

Yeah, it is really useful, thanks.

0:18:530:18:55

However, I'd appreciate more clarity on your meeting with Hettie Garland

0:18:550:19:01

the day she died.

0:19:010:19:02

The woman was rude and tiresome.

0:19:020:19:05

All I did was offer to help. She did nothing but ridicule and insult me.

0:19:050:19:08

I'm afraid I wasn't very well behaved.

0:19:100:19:12

I threw some mud at her.

0:19:130:19:14

-And what did you do then?

-I called my friend, Carl.

0:19:140:19:18

Is he the Carl Woods who allegedly stole an entire battery of chickens?

0:19:180:19:22

No chickens were harmed.

0:19:220:19:24

I was raging.

0:19:280:19:30

I walked down the south field complaining until I realised

0:19:300:19:32

I wasn't powerless. And there was something I could do.

0:19:320:19:36

And what would that be?

0:19:360:19:37

Well, I could open the gate and set the cows free.

0:19:380:19:41

Carl thought it was a good idea, so I turned back,

0:19:410:19:44

I peeked in the barn and that's when I found her...

0:19:440:19:47

..lying there.

0:19:480:19:49

When we interviewed you earlier, you failed to mention

0:19:560:19:59

that Mackenzie is your boyfriend.

0:19:590:20:00

-Did I?

-Yes.

0:20:000:20:03

Yeah, no, you did.

0:20:030:20:04

You said that the coins were found by two local men.

0:20:040:20:07

Well, they ARE locals.

0:20:070:20:09

It's a bit remiss of you not to mention that the most important

0:20:090:20:12

find in the area was by your boyfriend.

0:20:120:20:14

-He's just recently divorced.

-It's not a crime.

0:20:160:20:20

Were you seeing him before then?

0:20:230:20:24

Yes.

0:20:260:20:28

OK. Anything else you'd like to mention?

0:20:310:20:33

I've told you everything.

0:20:340:20:36

Miss Tate...

0:20:390:20:41

it's best you tell us everything you know,

0:20:410:20:43

even if it's uncomfortable.

0:20:430:20:45

We always get to the bottom of things eventually.

0:20:460:20:49

When Mac and Toby brought me the coins, he asked me

0:20:540:20:59

not to declare them to the Crown Office.

0:20:590:21:01

But it was such a big find I knew if I didn't report it immediately,

0:21:020:21:06

questions would be asked.

0:21:060:21:08

-Toby asked you to keep this under wraps?

-Mac did.

0:21:100:21:13

Talk to me, James.

0:21:200:21:21

I was really interested in Mackenzie's body language.

0:21:210:21:25

He was folding his arms and he wasn't showing you his hands at all.

0:21:250:21:30

Something very suspicious about that there for me.

0:21:300:21:33

I just want to pull up another armchair and say,

0:21:330:21:35

"Right, tell us all about it!"

0:21:350:21:37

-It's great... Wisdom.

-In regards to the whole girlfriend

0:21:370:21:40

thing, he mentioned it. Tracey, on the other hand,

0:21:400:21:42

mentioned, like she said, "Oh, they were found by two local lads..."

0:21:420:21:46

But if he's your boyfriend, you'd say,

0:21:460:21:49

"Oh, my boyfriend and another guy found it."

0:21:490:21:51

A bit shifty about it, aren't they?

0:21:510:21:53

Well, let's look at the suspects board, actually.

0:21:530:21:55

Because we have a new name to add.

0:21:550:21:59

We haven't met him yet, but they talked about Angus Brown.

0:21:590:22:03

Yeah. Well, Angus Brown owns the adjacent farm to Hettie.

0:22:030:22:08

-Yeah.

-And that's who Mackenzie said that him and Toby were in his field,

0:22:080:22:14

rather than in Hettie's.

0:22:140:22:15

But if that's true, then why were they barging

0:22:180:22:20

-through police tape in Hettie's?

-Well, exactly.

0:22:200:22:22

It keeps saying by Mackenzie that he's recently divorced.

0:22:220:22:26

-Yeah.

-Who?

0:22:260:22:28

No idea. So once again...

0:22:280:22:30

Once again, it's time to pick some evidence.

0:22:310:22:34

Armchair Detectives, what would you like to see?

0:22:340:22:36

A forensic report of tape found on Hettie's heater wire?

0:22:360:22:40

Photographs of mud tracks and footprints found

0:22:400:22:43

at Parsleybed Farm?

0:22:430:22:45

And a new piece of evidence -

0:22:450:22:46

a letter addressed to the Crown Office?

0:22:460:22:50

-Crown Office letter.

-Crown Office letter.

0:22:510:22:54

-I do want to see the tape.

-Casting vote, Wisdom.

0:22:540:22:57

-Tape.

-Tape!

0:22:570:22:58

That's what we're going for! This is a forensic report of tape

0:22:580:23:02

found on Hettie's heater wire.

0:23:020:23:04

Mackenzie's fingerprints were found on the tape.

0:23:040:23:07

It is standard three-quarter-inch black electrical tape.

0:23:080:23:12

In his police interview, he said that he'd been around

0:23:120:23:15

and fixed Hettie's heater.

0:23:150:23:17

-Yeah...

-So that would be why his fingerprints were on the tape.

0:23:170:23:20

That doesn't mean he didn't do anything else with it.

0:23:200:23:23

-But there is a plausible explanation.

-There is, yeah.

0:23:230:23:26

Well, Armchair Detectives, it's time to pick your prime suspect.

0:23:260:23:29

Are any of you going to change your mind?

0:23:290:23:31

Please write down your prime suspect, now.

0:23:310:23:34

What are you thinking at home?

0:23:380:23:39

I have a number of thoughts.

0:23:410:23:43

Write down your name.

0:23:450:23:46

Armchair Detectives, notepads down, please.

0:23:480:23:52

Wisdom, last time you picked Tracey, have you changed your mind?

0:23:520:23:55

-Nope.

-Why?

-Shady.

0:23:550:23:58

James? Last time you went for Tracey.

0:23:580:24:00

-Changed?

-No, stayed with Tracey at the moment.

-Because?

0:24:000:24:04

There's still a few unanswered questions with her.

0:24:050:24:07

Toria, last time you went for Tracey as well. Have you changed your mind?

0:24:070:24:11

-I have.

-Who've you gone for?

0:24:110:24:14

-I've gone for Toby.

-Where's that come from?

0:24:140:24:17

It was something Mackenzie said, about,

0:24:170:24:19

"WE were helping out, fixing the heater," but his fingerprints

0:24:190:24:23

weren't on it anywhere. Did he clean them off?

0:24:230:24:26

Was he not really... It makes me want to hear his

0:24:260:24:28

side of the story more. We haven't heard from him yet.

0:24:280:24:30

Interesting. So, the prime suspects...

0:24:300:24:33

Wisdom has gone for Tracey, James has gone for Tracey,

0:24:330:24:36

and Toria has gone for Toby.

0:24:360:24:40

OK, Armchair Detectives.

0:24:400:24:41

Next, it's time for round four. Dig Deeper.

0:24:410:24:45

We're about to meet Angus Brown, Hettie's neighbour.

0:24:470:24:49

Let's head back to Mortcliff.

0:24:490:24:51

You never know what's out there, Mac.

0:25:010:25:04

Lightning never strikes the same place twice.

0:25:040:25:06

Lightning never strikes this far north, end of.

0:25:060:25:10

But luck just may.

0:25:100:25:12

What you need to do, pal, is curb the enthusiasm.

0:25:120:25:15

Well, our contact at the museum estimates the value to be £30,000.

0:25:220:25:28

-A tidy sum!

-Imagine - 10,000 each.

0:25:280:25:32

Should have been a 50-50 split me and you, instead of three ways.

0:25:320:25:36

-You signed the contract.

-Toby!

0:25:360:25:38

Gus, you had plenty of time to make up your mind.

0:25:400:25:42

Best we leave you to it.

0:25:450:25:47

Don't want to take up any more of your time.

0:25:470:25:49

Ten grand is nothing to sniff at, I suppose.

0:25:490:25:52

-Morning, all!

-Hello, Rosie!

0:25:520:25:54

We'll be seeing you.

0:25:560:25:57

Hey, any luck yet?

0:26:060:26:07

If we find anything, you'll be the first one he tells, Rosie.

0:26:090:26:11

-Well, aye.

-Is that a fact?

0:26:110:26:14

-You finished your shift?

-I've just got one more drop.

0:26:140:26:18

A letter for Hettie, then I'm home for lunch.

0:26:180:26:20

Oh, we'll drop it off for you. We drive past there.

0:26:200:26:22

-Oh, thanks, Toby. But...

-Seriously, there's no bother.

0:26:220:26:25

Cheers, pal. See you later?

0:26:250:26:27

This is from the Crown.

0:26:310:26:33

I knew I was wrong to trust you.

0:26:330:26:35

300,000! Hundred! Not 30, you lying scum!

0:26:350:26:38

No, no, no Angus. That must be a typo.

0:26:380:26:40

The expert at the museum definitely said 30,000.

0:26:400:26:43

We'll see about that.

0:26:440:26:45

Oh, God...

0:26:490:26:50

Mac, don't open the...! Mac!

0:26:510:26:53

"Dear Hettie, in the interest of preserving history..."

0:26:560:27:00

Yada, yada, yada...

0:27:000:27:02

"..I understand from the local museum

0:27:020:27:04

"that a significant Viking find has been uncovered in your area.

0:27:040:27:08

"Please call for an appointment to further discuss this matter."

0:27:090:27:12

Oh, God.

0:27:120:27:14

Drive.

0:27:140:27:16

Drive!

0:27:160:27:17

So much for your girlfriend!

0:27:180:27:19

-You wouldn't be able to help me fix my heater, would you, boys?

-Um...

0:27:310:27:35

Aye! Sure! How did you know we were coming?

0:27:350:27:37

I can hear this rust bucket a mile off!

0:27:370:27:40

-Heater's in the barn.

-No problem.

0:27:420:27:43

Time to trade the old claptrap in, Toby.

0:27:450:27:47

What will you do - get another one the same?

0:27:470:27:50

Maybe. Maybe I'll get something more luxurious.

0:27:500:27:54

You're very flush all of a sudden.

0:27:550:27:57

Aye, well, you know Toby.

0:27:570:27:59

Head in the clouds.

0:27:590:28:00

There you go.

0:28:050:28:06

Happy to help.

0:28:090:28:10

I've seen you boys skulking around.

0:28:130:28:15

That hole you've dug in the lane happens to be on my land.

0:28:160:28:20

Not Angus's.

0:28:200:28:21

So anything you've found belongs to me.

0:28:210:28:24

Hettie, if there's anything to find, you'll be the first to know.

0:28:250:28:28

I'll meet you back at the car. Just give us a second.

0:28:300:28:32

Just in case we do find something on your land...

0:28:360:28:39

let's make it official.

0:28:390:28:41

You know, if there's anything valuable here,

0:28:410:28:44

you'll never find it without our help.

0:28:440:28:46

Three-way? I don't think so.

0:29:030:29:06

50/50.

0:29:060:29:08

That's not how we operate, Hettie. No can do.

0:29:090:29:12

In that case, I'll have to decline.

0:29:130:29:16

And I'll keep hold of this.

0:29:170:29:19

I saw the date.

0:29:210:29:22

You've backdated it by a week. You're up to something.

0:29:220:29:26

Can you drop me at the museum? I think I just messed up.

0:29:340:29:38

The plot thickens.

0:29:420:29:45

Where to start! I think within the last week,

0:29:460:29:49

they've found something or a hint of something on her land.

0:29:490:29:53

Which is why he's trying to backdate it.

0:29:530:29:56

Let me introduce a new suspect, because that might help this

0:29:560:29:58

discussion a little bit.

0:29:580:29:59

We can now see Angus and a new suspect, Rosie Jones, the postie.

0:29:590:30:06

Mackenzie... Is his ex-partner Lucy?

0:30:060:30:12

-I did wonder that.

-Oh...

0:30:140:30:16

I might be completely way off this.

0:30:180:30:21

But, before, before, Toby's one is A201 CBF...

0:30:220:30:27

-Yes.

-The one in the CCTV...

-A201 OBE.

0:30:270:30:34

-OBE?

-Yep.

0:30:340:30:35

Mackenzie threw to Toby electrical black tape

0:30:350:30:41

that could be used to change the numberplate.

0:30:410:30:46

Thank you, James! That's all I've been thinking about!

0:30:460:30:48

Don't know if this is right or not, James.

0:30:490:30:51

But all I've been thinking about is the black electrical tape

0:30:510:30:54

and the similar numberplates!

0:30:540:30:56

-I think it might be Toby!

-Hold on a second.

0:30:580:31:02

I'm going to let you pick another piece of evidence.

0:31:020:31:04

See if this is going to help you. You can have...

0:31:040:31:07

the photographs of mud tracks and footprints found

0:31:070:31:10

at Parsleybed Farm.

0:31:100:31:12

A letter addressed to the Crown Office.

0:31:120:31:15

And a new item of evidence - the forensics report

0:31:150:31:19

from Hettie's clothing.

0:31:190:31:21

I'm curious about the clothes.

0:31:210:31:23

Why was her jacket in the bath, but not her?

0:31:230:31:25

Why wasn't she in the bath when she was electrocuted?

0:31:250:31:28

Because that means some and took the heater out and...her?

0:31:280:31:32

I...wish...I could sit where you are...

0:31:320:31:35

Come and sit here, I'll sit there!

0:31:360:31:38

Because I've noticed so many things...

0:31:390:31:42

-Is there anything we've missed so far?

-Yes!

0:31:460:31:49

-I thought I was doing well with the tape!

-You're doing brilliantly!

0:31:500:31:53

No, we need to pick a piece of evidence. What are you going to choose? I need a decision.

0:31:530:31:57

-I'll go clothing.

-Clothing?

-Yeah.

0:31:570:31:59

So you're choosing the forensics report on the victim's clothing.

0:31:590:32:04

-Red woollen fibres...

-Ooh!

0:32:040:32:06

..on the victim's clothing.

0:32:060:32:09

-It's those darn fingerless gloves.

-It's the men's!

0:32:090:32:13

-But... But that wasn't the only person wearing red wool.

-It's not.

0:32:130:32:17

-Who else was wearing red wool?

-The postlady.

0:32:170:32:19

Yes, the postlady was.

0:32:190:32:21

I'm going to need you to pick another prime suspect

0:32:210:32:23

for me at this stage.

0:32:230:32:25

There's been a lot of evidence, a lot of conjecture.

0:32:250:32:27

Write down your prime suspect for me now.

0:32:270:32:30

Wisdom, last time your prime suspect was Tracey.

0:32:380:32:42

Who have you gone for this time?

0:32:420:32:44

-I have a sneaking suspicion about Toby.

-OK.

0:32:440:32:49

James, last time you went for...

0:32:490:32:51

-Tracey.

-Tracey.

0:32:510:32:52

-Who've you gone for?

-I've changed to Toby.

0:32:520:32:55

Toby. Why?

0:32:550:32:57

The being passed electrical tape,

0:32:570:32:59

it's the numberplates being very close,

0:32:590:33:01

could've been changed.

0:33:010:33:02

It's also the red fibres,

0:33:020:33:04

the woollen mittens, yeah...

0:33:040:33:06

Toria, last time you went for...

0:33:060:33:08

Toby.

0:33:080:33:09

And I'm sticking with Toby.

0:33:090:33:11

Once again, all three of them have gone for Toby.

0:33:110:33:13

APPLAUSE

0:33:130:33:15

It's the best game of snap we've ever played in our entire lives.

0:33:150:33:18

Let's see if we can find out more. It's time for round five -

0:33:180:33:23

the Final Clues.

0:33:230:33:25

Are Knight and Slater closer to finding out

0:33:250:33:27

who had beef with Hettie Garland?

0:33:270:33:30

Let's head back to Mortcliff.

0:33:300:33:32

And?

0:33:460:33:47

A contract drawn up between you, Toby Featherstone

0:33:480:33:51

and Mackenzie Long,

0:33:510:33:53

splitting the spoils of any discovered hoard.

0:33:530:33:57

I know nothing about that.

0:33:570:33:58

So if these coins,

0:34:000:34:02

which you know nothing about, were not found on your land then...

0:34:020:34:08

you'll be fine with not making any money at all?

0:34:080:34:11

Aye.

0:34:110:34:12

That's right.

0:34:130:34:14

-PHONE:

-You have two saved voice messages.

0:34:440:34:46

First, saved yesterday at 12:55pm.

0:34:460:34:50

-MACKENZIE:

-Hey, pal, listen...

0:34:510:34:53

Attention, the museum will close in five minutes.

0:34:530:34:56

I'll call you back.

0:34:560:34:58

Second voicemail message saved yesterday at 1:05pm.

0:34:580:35:03

Turns out under Scottish law, the money goes to the finder,

0:35:030:35:06

not the landowner, so we don't need the contact after all.

0:35:060:35:10

Call me soon as. Cheers.

0:35:100:35:12

AUDIENCE EXCLAIM Final Clues.

0:35:260:35:29

Armchair detectives, talk to me.

0:35:290:35:31

My understanding is, there's this big debate

0:35:310:35:34

about where the coins are found,

0:35:340:35:36

whether it's in Angus's land or whether it's in Hettie's land,

0:35:360:35:40

and they're worried because of splitting it with the landowner

0:35:400:35:45

and that's why they're trying to put up these contracts.

0:35:450:35:47

I think Toby's went round there and knocked her off

0:35:470:35:50

and then he's received a voicemail afterwards,

0:35:500:35:54

when he didn't need to do it at all.

0:35:540:35:56

Could they have moved what they found into Angus's land,

0:35:560:36:00

because he was willing to sort of agree with them?

0:36:000:36:03

So they were bumping her off, trying to get a better deal?

0:36:030:36:06

-Yeah, it is, yes.

-Something around that.

0:36:060:36:08

I'm not quite sure what, though.

0:36:080:36:09

-Hettie was killed at one o'clock.

-Yeah.

0:36:090:36:12

-That voicemail came at five minutes past one.

-Yep.

0:36:120:36:15

From Mackenzie, telling Toby...

0:36:150:36:16

I'm assuming telling Toby, no need to go through with it...

0:36:160:36:19

-It kind of rules out Mackenzie.

-..because obviously

0:36:190:36:21

we don't need to, basically, kill her or split it, so on and so forth.

0:36:210:36:24

But by that time, he'd already done it. And he'd...

0:36:240:36:26

HE POPS

0:36:260:36:28

Well, let's pick your final piece of evidence -

0:36:280:36:30

see if this helps you.

0:36:300:36:31

You can have either the photographs of mud tracks

0:36:310:36:35

and footprints found at Parsleybed Farm,

0:36:350:36:37

or a letter addressed to the Crown Office.

0:36:370:36:41

-I think the mud prints.

-Mud prints because...

0:36:410:36:44

But what if the mud prints come back with welly boots

0:36:440:36:47

and 4x4 tracks?

0:36:470:36:49

Which is quite likely.

0:36:490:36:51

But letter to... Who's going to send a letter to the Crown Office?

0:36:510:36:55

Yeah, let's have a look at the letter to the Crown Office.

0:36:550:36:58

-Oh...

-Yeah?

0:36:580:37:00

-OK.

-Let's have a look at it.

0:37:000:37:01

"Dear Mr Christopher Dixon,

0:37:010:37:04

"I'm writing to you as a historian, working at the museum.

0:37:040:37:06

"The hoard is claimed to have been found

0:37:060:37:08

"on the farmland of Angus Brown.

0:37:080:37:10

"However, I regret to say that I have suspicions

0:37:100:37:12

"that this is not in fact the case

0:37:120:37:14

"and the hoard was most likely found on the land of

0:37:140:37:16

"Parsleybed Farm owned by a Hettie Garland."

0:37:160:37:20

So it's Tracey has written to the Crown Office

0:37:200:37:24

with suspicions about the find.

0:37:240:37:27

-I reckon the guys found out about this.

-Yes.

0:37:270:37:31

And they were not happy.

0:37:310:37:33

I'm still...

0:37:330:37:36

-The numberplate's a big thing for me.

-Yeah.

0:37:360:37:38

And the fibres.

0:37:380:37:40

-And unless both of them are red herrings, then...

-OK.

0:37:410:37:47

Well, it's no pressure, Armchair Detectives, but it's the moment...

0:37:470:37:50

-I may be missing something.

-..where you make your final accusation,

0:37:500:37:53

and you choose the killer.

0:37:530:37:54

Lucy, Toby, Mackenzie,

0:37:540:37:56

Tracey, Rosie, Angus.

0:37:560:37:59

It's time to answer the question...

0:37:590:38:03

whodunnit?

0:38:030:38:05

HE MUMBLES

0:38:070:38:08

No time to put the kettle on at home.

0:38:080:38:10

You'll soon find out who the killer is.

0:38:100:38:12

Just stay where you are. Hope you guess correctly,

0:38:120:38:14

but don't... Don't leave now.

0:38:140:38:16

Or you can pause it and play it later, but just stay, stay.

0:38:160:38:20

Notepads down, Armchair Detectives.

0:38:200:38:23

It's time for your final decision.

0:38:230:38:25

Wisdom, who are you accusing of murder?

0:38:250:38:28

-Toby.

-Toby.

0:38:280:38:30

Because?

0:38:310:38:32

My gut is telling me that and I'm going to stick with it.

0:38:320:38:35

James, who are you accusing?

0:38:350:38:36

I'm also accusing Toby.

0:38:360:38:38

How did he do it?

0:38:380:38:39

I think it's with the heater in the bath.

0:38:390:38:42

Toria, who are you going for?

0:38:420:38:44

-I am also going with Toby.

-Toby!

0:38:440:38:46

-This is going to be really embarrassing.

-No!

0:38:480:38:50

I also think it's Toby. LAUGHTER

0:38:500:38:52

So, if it's not Toby,

0:38:520:38:54

all four of us...

0:38:540:38:56

have got this very, very wrong.

0:38:560:38:59

How do you think he did it?

0:38:590:39:01

It's the connections, like the fibres,

0:39:010:39:03

the fact that he was there, the tape.

0:39:030:39:06

Well, the last piece of evidence has been left -

0:39:060:39:10

will it make you doubt your accusations?

0:39:100:39:14

Or will it help us out? Let's take a look at it.

0:39:140:39:16

The mud prints at the farm.

0:39:160:39:19

In the photos we have five footprints and tyre tracks.

0:39:190:39:23

The most recent was made by a 4x4 vehicle.

0:39:230:39:29

To be fair, you kind of said, Toria,

0:39:290:39:31

it might just be some wellington boots and some tyre tracks

0:39:310:39:34

and that's really what it is.

0:39:340:39:36

-I'm kind of relieved.

-No, I'm glad that it's...

0:39:360:39:39

-No regrets?

-Yeah.

0:39:390:39:41

Je ne regrette rien?

0:39:410:39:44

What really happened in today's story, Finders Keepers?

0:39:440:39:47

Who killed Hettie Garland?

0:39:470:39:50

Let's find out...

0:39:500:39:52

whodunnit.

0:39:520:39:54

So, Lucy Bryne. Typical activist,

0:39:580:40:01

blinded by naive idealism and what a temper.

0:40:010:40:04

-Well, I mean, she could be...

-Slater!

0:40:040:40:06

Don't you realise that woman thinks chickens

0:40:060:40:08

are more important than people?

0:40:080:40:10

Yeah.

0:40:110:40:13

Look, red woollen fibres, the same found on Toby Featherstone's gloves

0:40:130:40:16

were found on Hettie's clothing.

0:40:160:40:18

And Toby's car was in the area at the time of the murder.

0:40:180:40:21

-The date matches with the time of death.

-Mm-hm.

0:40:210:40:23

According to the DVLA, Toby's registration ended in CDF.

0:40:230:40:28

Maybe that rules him out?

0:40:310:40:33

You would think Mackenzie did it, wouldn't you?

0:40:330:40:36

What if Mackenzie goes to visit Hettie on his own?

0:40:380:40:43

Tries to offer her the same deal they'd offered Angus,

0:40:430:40:46

just to cover all the bases.

0:40:460:40:47

And through Hettie's stubbornness, she refuses and sends him packing.

0:40:470:40:51

Exactly. He tells Toby, Toby takes matters into his own hands.

0:40:510:40:55

Would he, though?

0:40:580:40:59

Toby goes to see Hettie after Mackenzie tells him

0:40:590:41:02

about what happened.

0:41:020:41:03

He spots the heater nearby,

0:41:030:41:05

seizes the opportunity, grabs it, chucks it in the water.

0:41:050:41:08

Simmons reckons that seven milliamps for three seconds is enough.

0:41:100:41:13

So if both of her hands are immersed in water at the time,

0:41:130:41:16

there's a good chance she was fully electrocuted.

0:41:160:41:18

OK, so after Hettie dies, Toby removes the handwritten contract

0:41:180:41:21

from her back pocket and that's when the gold coin drops.

0:41:210:41:25

All he needs to do then is remove it from the water

0:41:320:41:34

and it looks like she's had a heart attack.

0:41:340:41:36

Toby had motive, means and opportunity.

0:41:360:41:39

But what about the car?

0:41:410:41:43

Oh! I remember seeing black electrical tape in his boot.

0:41:440:41:48

But all we have is the CCTV footage

0:41:480:41:51

with a registration plate ending OBE.

0:41:510:41:54

Hold on.

0:41:540:41:55

Oh.

0:42:010:42:02

We...

0:42:030:42:04

..have a match.

0:42:060:42:07

How many of Lucy Byrne's meetings did you go to?

0:42:210:42:24

-Er, well, like, er, probably...

-Relax, Slater!

0:42:250:42:29

SUSAN HUMS

0:42:340:42:36

LAUGHTER You've all caught today's killer.

0:42:360:42:38

And, Wisdom, well done -

0:42:380:42:39

it's your first golden magnifying glass trophy!

0:42:390:42:42

APPLAUSE

0:42:420:42:43

Armchair Detectives, how many of you got that one?

0:42:450:42:48

Oh, almost all of you, almost all of you.

0:42:490:42:51

Well done to everyone.

0:42:510:42:52

That was an absolutely cracking investigation!

0:42:520:42:56

So that's all from Armchair Detectives.

0:42:560:42:58

Come back tomorrow when a deadly crime leaves our detectives puzzled.

0:42:580:43:03

Word puzzled, to be exact.

0:43:030:43:05

And remember,

0:43:070:43:09

no-one gets away with murder in Mortcliff.

0:43:090:43:12

Goodbye.

0:43:120:43:14

Well done, well done, well done! APPLAUSE
