0:00:150:00:17

-Every criminal case is a distinct

-challenge for the detective.

0:00:170:00:21

-To discover the truth,

-they need patience and curiosity.

0:00:240:00:29

-Tonight,

-I'm following North Wales Police...

0:00:400:00:43

-..as they hunt for a Polish man...

0:00:440:00:46

-..who is suspected of murdering

-a woman near Wrexham.

0:00:460:00:50

-When you looked into his eyes,

-they were cold and unfeeling.

0:00:530:00:58

-For a whole year, there was

-no sign of Ermatati Rodgers.

0:00:590:01:02

-Without a body, proving murder

-would be a challenge.

0:01:020:01:06

-He didn't want to help us at all.

-It was very frustrating.

0:01:070:01:10

-Saturday, 5 January, 2008.

0:01:340:01:37

-That was when Wrexham Police got

-the call that a 41-year-old woman...

0:01:390:01:44

-..from the Gwersyllt area

-was missing.

0:01:440:01:47

-Police officers from Wrexham

-went door to door...

0:01:500:01:52

-..asking neighbours if they'd seen

-her, but no-one had.

0:01:530:01:56

-Later, they went into her house...

0:01:560:02:00

-..and found very little

-out of place...

0:02:000:02:04

-..apart from food on the stove

-that was still cooking.

0:02:040:02:09

-Originally from Indonesia...

0:02:150:02:17

-..Ermatati Rodgers had moved to

-Wales about ten years previously.

0:02:170:02:21

-She'd separated from her husband...

0:02:210:02:24

-..and lived alone in a flat

-on the Bryn Awel estate.

0:02:240:02:28

-She enjoyed life, she enjoyed her

-food and she had friends.

0:02:340:02:40

-She enjoyed socialising.

0:02:400:02:42

-Her disappearance became more

-suspicious...

0:02:450:02:48

-..when police found her coat, her

-purse and her passport in her flat.

0:02:480:02:53

-They also found a receipt...

0:02:570:03:00

-..showing that Tati had been

-shopping the night before.

0:03:000:03:04

-She appeared on the shop's

-CCTV footage.

0:03:040:03:06

-They also discovered

-a small red diary.

0:03:130:03:17

-In this book, she kept names

-and telephone numbers.

0:03:170:03:21

-Her friends, we thought.

0:03:210:03:24

-By phoning people on the list...

0:03:260:03:28

-..detectives discovered that the

-last person to see Tati alive...

0:03:280:03:32

-..was a man named Lukasz Reszpondek.

0:03:330:03:35

-Lukasz Reszpondek was from Poland...

0:03:390:03:42

-..and he had a wife and two children

-living here in Rhostyllen.

0:03:420:03:46

-He worked at the cheese factory

-near Wrexham...

0:03:460:03:50

-..and there, during the summer

-of 2004, he met Tati Rodgers.

0:03:500:03:54

-Detectives went to his home on

-Trinity Street to question him.

0:03:560:04:00

-He willingly handed over his camera

-and his laptop to be examined.

0:04:010:04:05

-He was very cool that day.

-He was very happy to talk to us.

0:04:080:04:13

-He came out with all kinds

-of stories about Tati.

0:04:130:04:16

-According to Reszpondek, he'd gone

-to Tati's flat on the Friday...

0:04:180:04:23

-..to give her

-a late Christmas present.

0:04:230:04:26

-Reszpondek said that he'd given her

-a lift to the bus stop on Mold Road.

0:04:280:04:33

-But there was no CCTV evidence

-to show where Tati went next.

0:04:330:04:38

-Detectives began to doubt his story.

0:04:400:04:42

-They asked him to come to the police

-station in Wrexham.

0:04:420:04:46

-It was this detective

-who was responsible...

0:04:490:04:52

-..for planning and supervising

-the interview.

0:04:520:04:55

-A little bit of psychology

-and tactics come into it...

0:04:560:04:59

-..in terms of how much we tell them

-about what we know.

0:04:590:05:03

-We always keep a little bit back...

0:05:030:05:05

-..because if we tell them everything

-we know, they will lie.

0:05:050:05:09

-In cases like this, the people

-we deal with usually tell lies.

0:05:100:05:15

-Lukasz Reszpondek had plenty

-to say...

0:05:150:05:18

-..and answered all the police

-questions.

0:05:180:05:21

-It was very obvious to me...

0:05:230:05:26

-..that some of what he said

-in that interview didn't make sense.

0:05:260:05:31

-At the end of the interview...

0:05:310:05:34

-..I advised that we change his

-status from witness to suspect.

0:05:340:05:40

-The police managed

-to retrieve photos...

0:05:470:05:49

-..that Reszpondek had deleted

-from his camera.

0:05:490:05:52

-Sexual photos of Tati.

0:05:530:05:54

-Despite this, he denied that

-they were in a relationship.

0:05:550:05:59

-But, the examination

-of Reszpondek's laptop...

0:05:590:06:02

-..proved to be a turning point

-in the investigation.

0:06:020:06:06

-When they examined his laptop...

0:06:090:06:11

-..police discovered that he'd been

-researching the web in Polish...

0:06:110:06:15

-..about how the human body

-decomposes.

0:06:150:06:18

-He'd also been searching

-for information...

0:06:180:06:21

-..about creatures that live

-on dead bodies.

0:06:210:06:24

-This was something

-that astounded us all.

0:06:250:06:30

-To think that he'd been searching

-for these terms on his computer.

0:06:300:06:34

-The team were now confident that

-they were investigating a murder.

0:06:360:06:40

-But, without a body,

-they'd need more evidence.

0:06:460:06:50

-We had to examine Lukasz

-Reszpondek's bank details...

0:06:530:06:57

-..and look into where he'd been

-spending his money.

0:06:570:07:02

-One of the places he'd used

-his bank card...

0:07:020:07:06

-..was at a large DIY shop

-in Wrexham.

0:07:070:07:11

-Among the items he bought

-was a spade, rope...

0:07:130:07:18

-..plastic sheeting

-and things like that.

0:07:180:07:21

-Some people have called that

-a body disposal kit.

0:07:220:07:25

-They decided to arrest him.

0:07:270:07:29

-But when they searched his house,

-the team faced another puzzle.

0:07:290:07:33

-At the house,

-they found the spade, rope...

0:07:340:07:40

-..and all the items he'd bought

-from the DIY shop.

0:07:400:07:45

-None of them had been used.

0:07:450:07:49

-But then, they noticed that he'd

-withdrawn 200 cash from his bank.

0:07:510:07:55

-So the detectives went back to

-Wickes to look again at the CCTV.

0:07:560:08:01

-They saw that

-he'd gone back there...

0:08:030:08:05

-..the day after detectives had

-questioned him for the first time.

0:08:050:08:10

-He'd bought a second set of the same

-items including the spade and rope.

0:08:100:08:14

-This time he paid in cash.

0:08:140:08:16

-Police suspected that he'd got

-rid of the first set...

0:08:160:08:20

-..after burying Tati's body

-and bought the second set...

0:08:200:08:23

-..in an attempt to deceive

-detectives.

0:08:240:08:27

-They needed to question him again.

0:08:310:08:33

-Lukasz Reszpondek asked

-for a Polish translator.

0:08:330:08:37

-You were arrested earlier today

-on suspicion of murder.

0:08:410:08:46

-SPEAKS POLISH

0:08:460:08:47

-No comment.

0:08:540:08:56

-Now, he refused to cooperate

-or answer any questions.

0:08:570:09:02

-Can you confirm to me

-that you are Polish?

0:09:030:09:06

-SPEAKS POLISH

0:09:060:09:08

-No comment.

0:09:090:09:11

-When you looked into his eyes,

-they were cold and unfeeling.

0:09:130:09:19

-That's what I've found, over the

-years, in dealing with killers.

0:09:190:09:23

-Sometimes the answer

-is in their eyes.

0:09:230:09:26

-But there was insufficient evidence

-to charge him.

0:09:270:09:31

-After three days,

-they had to release him on bail.

0:09:310:09:34

-He didn't want to help us at all.

-It was very frustrating.

0:09:340:09:38

-Six months after Tati's

-disappearance...

0:09:460:09:49

-..the police were no nearer

-to solving the mystery.

0:09:490:09:53

-The man suspected of killing her was

-sending the police round in circles.

0:09:540:10:00

-We knew that we were very close

-to finding Tati's body.

0:10:000:10:05

-That's what kept us going.

0:10:050:10:09

-But, without a body, it was very

-difficult to prove it was murder.

0:10:120:10:16

-The hunt was still on

-for the detectives.

-Six months after Tati Rodgers

-disappeared in Wrexham in 2008...

0:10:370:10:41

-..police suspected that this Polish

-man had murdered her.

0:10:420:10:48

-But there was no sign of her body.

0:10:480:10:50

-So, they put together an undercover

-team to watch Lukasz Reszpondek.

0:10:550:11:00

-Twenty-four hours a day.

0:11:000:11:02

-It was very obvious that

-Lukasz Reszpondek...

0:11:050:11:09

-..very often drove through the lanes

-around Erddig.

0:11:090:11:13

-We began to wonder

-whether Tati Rodgers' body...

0:11:140:11:19

-..was in one of the fields

-around Erddig.

0:11:190:11:22

-Erddig is only a few minutes away

-from Reszpondek's house.

0:11:290:11:33

-It extends across 1,200 acres.

0:11:330:11:36

-Police placed nine secret cameras

-along the country lanes...

0:11:390:11:43

-..to try and find out where he went.

0:11:430:11:46

-Because it's so quiet here...

0:11:490:11:52

-..he'd notice if police

-came looking for him...

0:11:520:11:56

-..so it was easier

-to put cameras in the hedges.

0:11:560:11:59

-But the cameras did not lead them

-to the body.

0:12:010:12:04

-In March 2009, the police decided

-to stage a stunt.

0:12:120:12:17

-Fourteen months after Tati's

-disappearance...

0:12:180:12:21

-..they announced to the media...

0:12:220:12:24

-..that they were going to begin

-digging at Erddig for her body.

0:12:240:12:27

-I can't confirm exactly

-where we are at the moment...

0:12:280:12:31

-..but I can say that we're on the

-outskirts of Wrexham near Erddig.

0:12:310:12:35

-Police officers have been digging

-here all day.

0:12:350:12:38

-There are forensic experts here...

0:12:380:12:41

-..and specialist dogs are going

-to be examining the land.

0:12:410:12:44

-Police were offering a financial

-reward for information.

0:12:440:12:48

-I would encourage anyone

-who has any information...

0:12:490:12:53

-..to come forward and talk to us.

0:12:530:12:56

-I should also say that there is

-a reward of 100,000...

0:12:560:12:59

-..for anyone who has information.

0:12:590:13:01

-It was now the detectives' turn

-to trick Reszpondek...

0:13:030:13:06

-..in the hope that

-he would return to the body.

0:13:060:13:09

-There was a forensic team

-in the area where we are today...

0:13:110:13:16

-..to try and provoke a reaction

-from Lukasz Reszpondek.

0:13:160:13:19

-And that's what happened.

0:13:200:13:22

-Reszpondek took the bait

-and now he was obviously agitated.

0:13:280:13:33

-Reszpondek went out to buy

-camouflage clothing...

0:13:350:13:38

-..and he came to the top of the hill

-here with his binoculars.

0:13:380:13:42

-He watched the police

-examining the fields.

0:13:420:13:45

-But he didn't know that the police

-were watching him, watching them.

0:13:450:13:50

-In the days that followed...

0:13:530:13:55

-..Reszpondek climbed to the top of

-Bersham slag heap thirteen times.

0:13:550:14:00

-He spent up to eight hours a day

-on top of the hill, watching.

0:14:000:14:04

-But, over time, as the police

-continued digging for evidence...

0:14:050:14:09

-..Reszpondek lost interest.

0:14:090:14:11

-The detectives now believed that...

0:14:180:14:20

-..they were searching

-in the wrong place.

0:14:200:14:23

-Their next plan was to move

-the search.

0:14:230:14:26

-We decided to start digging in

-a different part of the fields.

0:14:280:14:34

-So that's what happened,

-and Reszpondek 'responded'.

0:14:350:14:40

-Late that night, Reszpondek left his

-house carrying a spade.

0:14:540:14:58

-He drove in the direction of Erddig.

0:14:580:15:01

-But, as he left his house...

0:15:030:15:04

-..undercover police were watching

-his movements carefully.

0:15:050:15:09

-He parked his car

-and walked across the fields.

0:15:170:15:20

-The police suspected that he was

-going to try and move Tati's body.

0:15:210:15:25

-Wearing his camouflage clothing, he

-was caught on the secret cameras...

0:15:270:15:31

-..concealed in the hedgerows.

0:15:310:15:33

-Then, he disappeared

-into the darkness...

0:15:340:15:37

-..out of the sight of the police

-and the cameras.

0:15:370:15:41

-They didn't see him for three hours.

0:15:410:15:45

-When he emerged from the fields,

-there was no sign of the body.

0:15:460:15:50

-The followed him back to his house.

0:15:550:15:57

-But, in the early hours of the

-morning, he left home again.

0:15:580:16:02

-At three in the morning, Reszpondek

-came here to Wrexham Police station.

0:16:090:16:14

-He told them he could show them

-the location of Tati's body.

0:16:140:16:18

-He said that she'd dropped dead

-in his flat in January 2008...

0:16:180:16:23

-..and that, in a panic,

-he'd buried her.

0:16:230:16:25

-Lukasz Reszpondek was arrested

-again.

0:16:280:16:30

-The following morning, he led police

-to the body of Tati Rodgers.

0:16:300:16:35

-For fourteen months...

0:16:400:16:41

-..he'd denied knowing anything

-about her disappearance.

0:16:420:16:45

-And now, he insisted

-that'd she died naturally.

0:16:460:16:49

-For the first time, he told us that

-he was responsible for burying her.

0:16:530:16:59

-But, he was still saying

-that he hadn't killed her.

0:16:590:17:03

-SPEAKS POLISH

0:17:090:17:12

-The team's task now...

0:17:170:17:19

-..was to prove that he'd been

-deceiving them the whole time.

0:17:200:17:24

-SPEAKS POLISH

0:17:310:17:33

-We asked him whether he had been

-lying to us for fifteen months...

0:17:560:18:00

-..when he had the chance to tell us

-what the truth was.

0:18:010:18:04

-He admitted that he had lied to us.

0:18:040:18:08

-Then, we asked him, how were we

-supposed to believe him now...

0:18:100:18:14

-..when he said that

-he hadn't killed her?

0:18:140:18:16

-Of course,

-he couldn't answer that question.

0:18:170:18:20

-After uncovering the body,

-a post-mortem was held...

0:18:290:18:32

-..at Glan Clwyd Hospital.

0:18:320:18:34

-The job of the pathologist was

-to find out how Tati died.

0:18:340:18:38

-Hi. I'm Mali.

0:18:400:18:42

-Nice to meet you.

0:18:420:18:44

-It can be difficult to determine

-the cause of death of a body...

0:18:440:18:48

-..that has been buried in the ground

-for fourteen months.

0:18:480:18:52

-But this case was different.

0:18:520:18:55

-The fact that she was buried

-in clay...

0:19:010:19:04

-..which is a fairly dense medium...

0:19:040:19:07

-..helped to protect her from

-the degree of decomposition...

0:19:070:19:12

-..that you would normally expect

-from someone who has been buried...

0:19:120:19:16

-..for that length of time.

0:19:160:19:18

-Tati's body was found

-in a rounded shape...

0:19:180:19:21

-..which preserved important

-evidence.

0:19:210:19:27

-There were some very subtle marks...

0:19:270:19:29

-..internally to the muscles

-of the neck...

0:19:290:19:32

-..with fractures

-to both thyroid horns.

0:19:330:19:36

-They were what I considered

-to be...

0:19:360:19:39

-..injuries highly suggestive

-of fractures.

0:19:390:19:42

-That made me very suspicious.

0:19:420:19:45

-According to the pathologist...

0:19:480:19:50

-..it was possible that Tati

-had been strangled.

0:19:500:19:53

-Any of these can be damaged

-in compression of the neck.

0:19:550:19:59

-Particularly manual strangulation...

0:19:590:20:02

-..where a hand is placed

-over someone's neck.

0:20:020:20:05

-You can imagine that tightening

-force around the neck...

0:20:050:20:09

-..compressing those structures there

-which is why they snap.

0:20:090:20:12

-But with Reszpondek insisting that

-she'd died of natural causes...

0:20:140:20:18

-..detectives went to Sumatra in

-Indonesia to ask Tati's family...

0:20:180:20:23

-..about her medical history.

0:20:230:20:25

-lived into old age.

0:20:370:20:42

0:20:420:20:48

0:21:430:21:46

-..and over fifty interviews...

0:21:460:21:48

-..proving that Lukasz Reszpondek

0:21:490:21:53

-..was a relief for the team.

0:21:530:21:54

-Pride is the word that I would use -

-that we got to the truth.

0:21:550:22:00

-For fourteen months,

-the disappearance of Tati Rodgers...

0:23:070:23:11

-..was a complete mystery

-to her family and friends.

0:23:110:23:14

-and they eventually succeeded...

0:23:140:23:19

-..in providing answers

-and getting justice for them...

-..by putting the murderer

-behind bars.
