-In a murder case...

0:00:040:00:05

-..it's a race against time

-to discover what happened.

0:00:050:00:08

-What, why and who's responsible?

0:00:090:00:14

-I'm Mali Harries. I want to learn

-more about a detective's work.

0:00:160:00:21

-The scrutiny and analysis.

0:00:220:00:24

-The interrogation and psychology.

0:00:270:00:30

-Tonight, I gain an insight into

-the work of the North Wales CSIs.

0:00:340:00:39

-I discover

-how they gathered evidence...

0:00:390:00:43

-..to catch the murderer

-of a woman in Porthmadog.

0:00:430:00:46

-Five years

-after Ffion Wyn Roberts' murder...

0:00:460:00:50

-..her mother and father

-talk about their loss.

0:00:500:00:54

-I just hope

-it doesn't happen to anyone else.

0:00:540:00:57

-Porthmadog, a seaside town

-attracting tourists every summer.

0:01:310:01:35

-It's also home

-to a close-knit community.

0:01:360:01:39

-When one of the town's young women

-was killed back in 2010...

0:01:390:01:44

-..the entire community was in shock.

0:01:440:01:47

-It was a Friday night in April.

0:01:570:01:59

-Tremadog's pubs were braced for

-the weekend's revelry.

0:02:000:02:04

-I picked Ffion up

-from work at 8.15pm.

0:02:050:02:07

-I was going out with my friends

-and she asked if she could join us.

0:02:070:02:12

-I said, "Yes, of course."

0:02:120:02:14

-She said, "My friend's celebrating

-her 21st birthday in Tremadog.

0:02:150:02:20

-"We'll go there, Dad,"

-so that's where we went.

0:02:200:02:23

-At the end of the night, we moved

-from the Madoc Hotel to The Union.

0:02:260:02:31

-That was the last time I saw Ffion.

0:02:310:02:33

-After her parents had gone home,

-Ffion stayed out with her friends.

0:02:370:02:42

-At around four in the morning...

0:02:430:02:45

-..she left and walked home alone

-along the main road to Porthmadog.

0:02:450:02:50

-On Saturday morning,

-there was no sign of Ffion.

0:03:030:03:06

-The football club, where she worked,

-phoned her house...

0:03:070:03:10

-..to ask where she was.

0:03:110:03:12

-It was nearing one o'clock, and

-Ffion was usually home by then...

0:03:130:03:18

-..after a night out.

0:03:180:03:20

-I phoned Ffion 19 times

-but there was no answer.

0:03:200:03:24

-By about 1.30pm...

0:03:240:03:26

-..my son, Elgan,

-came home and said...

0:03:270:03:30

-.."Something's happened

-near The Cut, Mam."

0:03:300:03:33

-Police officers

-were searching The Cut area...

0:03:330:03:37

-..behind the street

-where they lived.

0:03:370:03:40

-A couple alerted police

-after finding a body in the water...

0:03:400:03:44

-..whilst walking their dog.

0:03:440:03:47

-Idris approached

-the police cordon...

0:03:480:03:51

-..and a CID officer asked Idris

-what he was doing there.

0:03:510:03:57

-He said, "My daughter's missing."

0:03:570:03:59

-He came and asked me...

0:04:020:04:04

-.."Does Ffion have a tattoo?"

0:04:040:04:07

-I said, "Yes"

-and described her tattoo.

0:04:070:04:10

-I said it was black

-and looked like that.

0:04:100:04:14

-We suddenly clicked.

0:04:140:04:16

-Ffion Wyn Roberts was 22 years old.

0:04:190:04:22

-She worked locally as a carer

-at Plasgwyn Nursing Home.

0:04:220:04:26

-Initially, the family thought Ffion

-had an accident on her way home.

0:04:260:04:31

-But the truth emerged after

-a detective visited them at home.

0:04:320:04:36

-He said,

-"I have something to tell you."

0:04:400:04:43

-He just said,

-"Your daughter was murdered."

0:04:430:04:47

-Everybody started screaming.

0:04:470:04:49

-That's how we were told.

0:04:500:04:52

-Ffion's body was lying

-less than 200 metres from her home.

0:04:580:05:03

-She'd sustained injuries

-to her head...

0:05:130:05:16

-..and was strangled

-with her own scarf.

0:05:160:05:19

-The pathologist claimed

-she was dragged into a ditch...

0:05:190:05:22

-..before drowning in the water.

0:05:220:05:24

-A specialist team

-from North Wales Police was sent...

0:05:290:05:33

-..to carry out an investigation...

0:05:340:05:36

-..and gather

-forensic evidence quickly.

0:05:360:05:40

-I was the crime scene manager

-on call.

0:05:400:05:43

-Unfortunately,

-it was a suspicious death.

0:05:460:05:49

-A scarf

-had been used as a ligature.

0:05:490:05:52

-That was particularly significant...

0:05:530:05:56

-..in terms of trying

-to maximise our opportunity...

0:05:560:06:01

-..to get DNA

-or any other evidence from that...

0:06:010:06:06

-..because that was

-definitely linked to the offender.

0:06:060:06:10

-The CSIs erected a tent...

0:06:110:06:13

-..and removed Ffion from the water

-to examine her body and her clothes.

0:06:140:06:19

-The longer she stayed in water,

-there's real potential...

0:06:200:06:23

-..of evidence getting lost.

0:06:240:06:27

-The close-knit community

-was in shock.

0:06:350:06:38

-The town's residents

-paid their respects.

0:06:380:06:41

-She liked football and helped out

-at Porthmadog football ground.

0:06:450:06:50

-She was a keen Everton supporter.

0:06:510:06:54

-She liked pop music. She watched

-Top of the Pops every Thursday.

0:06:570:07:01

-She screamed

-if anyone interrupted it!

0:07:020:07:04

-On the day of her funeral...

0:07:040:07:07

-..the town's businesses closed

-in memory of her.

0:07:080:07:11

-It's changed our lives completely.

0:07:120:07:14

-No words can describe

-the way we feel.

0:07:170:07:19

-There's no way of explaining it.

0:07:210:07:24

-A part of me is missing.

0:07:250:07:27

-As they gathered evidence...

0:07:500:07:52

-..the police studied CCTV

-that had captured Ffion...

0:07:520:07:56

-..before she disappeared.

0:07:560:07:58

-There were 60 closed circuit cameras

-in Porthmadog...

0:07:580:08:01

-..and 2,500 hours

-of footage to analyse.

0:08:020:08:05

-We know she left after 4.00am...

0:08:110:08:13

-..and walked down this road

-towards Porthmadog.

0:08:130:08:18

-As she walked home, we've heard from

-an eyewitness, a lorry driver...

0:08:180:08:23

-..who saw her walking.

0:08:230:08:25

-We also have a short clip

-of CCTV footage from 4.30am.

0:08:250:08:29

-That's the last clip of Ffion alive.

0:08:290:08:31

-Ffion was walking up the street

-towards the kebab house.

0:08:370:08:40

-What I don't understand is

-why she headed that way that night.

0:08:430:08:48

-I left Tremadog

-at two o'clock in the morning.

0:08:500:08:53

-I walked the same steps as Ffion.

0:08:530:08:56

-I'm here, she's not.

0:08:570:08:59

-Police gathered items of evidence

-from around the town.

0:09:090:09:13

-But it was here,

-at the floodgates near the Cob...

0:09:130:09:17

-..that they found key evidence.

0:09:170:09:19

-Soon after discovering

-Ffion's body...

0:09:250:09:28

-..the police started

-combing the area for evidence.

0:09:280:09:32

-It was here at the floodgates

-that Ffion's handbag was found...

0:09:320:09:37

-..along with a pair of blue joggers

-with a white stripe...

0:09:370:09:41

-..and black trainers.

0:09:410:09:43

-The clothes were sent to

-a forensics lab for further tests.

0:09:440:09:48

-We started thinking...

0:09:510:09:53

-..that the perpetrator

-knew the area by coming here.

0:09:530:09:57

-It's not somewhere

-you'd find easily.

0:09:570:10:00

-This was key in our investigation.

0:10:010:10:03

-The only thing we knew...

0:10:060:10:08

-..was that Ffion

-knew the person who murdered her.

0:10:090:10:13

-Ffion was a very good runner.

0:10:150:10:18

-She would've run home.

0:10:190:10:22

-That's why we believed she knew

-the person who murdered her.

0:10:230:10:28

-Police arrested Ffion's brother,

-Elgan, and father, Idris...

0:10:290:10:33

-..as part of the investigation.

0:10:330:10:35

-After detectives interviewed them...

0:10:360:10:39

-..and searched the family's home

-and car, they were both released.

0:10:390:10:44

-The mystery surrounding

-Ffion's murder continued.

-Two months after Ffion Wyn Roberts'

-body was discovered...

0:11:110:11:15

-..police continued to search

-for her killer.

0:11:150:11:18

-Detectives hoped that

-the results of forensic tests...

0:11:200:11:24

-..would provide answers.

0:11:240:11:26

-I went to meet

-North Wales Police's CSI team.

0:11:340:11:38

-Crime Scene Investigators gather

-evidence from the crime scene.

0:11:380:11:43

-When you arrive at a crime scene,

-how do you prepare the area?

0:11:480:11:52

-First of all we look to see where

-they've established the cordons...

0:11:520:11:57

-..to make sure they're big enough to

-keep people out of the crime scene.

0:11:570:12:03

-Once we're happy that it's done...

0:12:030:12:06

-..we begin gathering evidence...

0:12:060:12:09

-..and in order to do that quickly...

0:12:090:12:12

-..if there's very important evidence

-to be found...

0:12:120:12:16

-..we use stepping plates...

0:12:160:12:18

-..to make sure we don't damage it

-by trampling on it.

0:12:180:12:24

-As you can see, the CSIs have

-already reached the crime scene.

0:12:370:12:42

-They've discovered

-an object on the floor...

0:12:420:12:45

-..and placed

-a scene marker alongside it...

0:12:460:12:49

-..so that when we take photographs

-and video, we know exactly...

0:12:490:12:53

-..where the object was found

-at the crime scene.

0:12:540:12:57

-There's a mobile phone

-next to marker number two.

0:12:590:13:02

-Something like that's important

-when we arrive at the crime scene.

0:13:020:13:07

-It either belongs to the victim...

0:13:070:13:10

-..or the offender.

0:13:100:13:13

-It's important to find it quickly

-so it can be processed.

0:13:130:13:18

-They have a special laboratory...

0:13:180:13:20

-..to examine objects

-and gather DNA evidence.

0:13:210:13:24

-This is our DNA laboratory.

0:13:240:13:26

-Exhibits are sent here...

0:13:270:13:28

-..and a technician

-swabs them for DNA.

0:13:290:13:32

-The swabs are then sent away

-to a laboratory...

0:13:320:13:36

-..which processes them for us.

0:13:360:13:38

-..which processes them for us.

-

-What about the laboratory itself?

0:13:380:13:40

-The room is completely sterile.

0:13:410:13:43

-Every person who enters it...

0:13:430:13:45

-..must provide an elimination

-sample DNA and wear special clothes.

0:13:450:13:50

-We're able to swab exhibits

-at the crime scene itself...

0:13:520:13:57

-..but with more serious cases,

-we tend to send everything here...

0:13:570:14:01

-..because

-it's a sterile environment.

0:14:020:14:05

-In Ffion Wyn Roberts' case, the team

-found important forensic results...

0:14:090:14:13

-..including

-the DNA profile of a man...

0:14:140:14:16

-..from the scarf

-used to strangle her.

0:14:160:14:19

-The main area

-that they concentrated on...

0:14:210:14:24

-..was the folds

-within the knot itself.

0:14:240:14:27

-So, in between those areas where

-most force would've been applied.

0:14:270:14:32

-It wasn't a full profile,

-it was a partial profile.

0:14:320:14:37

-But the scientists

-found a full DNA profile...

0:14:370:14:40

-..on the trousers

-found at the floodgates.

0:14:400:14:43

-That profile matched the partial

-profile from Ffion's scarf.

0:14:470:14:52

-There were also clear results

-from Ffion's handbag.

0:14:520:14:57

-Initially,

-we had swabbed the zip...

0:14:570:15:01

-..but we didn't get

-fantastic results.

0:15:010:15:04

-It only came back as Ffion's DNA.

0:15:040:15:07

-But then we thought if someone

-was going to empty that bag...

0:15:070:15:11

-..particularly a man,

-how would they go about it?

0:15:120:15:15

-We targeted

-the underside of the bag...

0:15:160:15:19

-..as if it was

-being held upside down...

0:15:190:15:22

-..while the contents

-were being emptied.

0:15:220:15:25

-We ended up with a full DNA profile

-from our offender...

0:15:250:15:29

-..that matched all the other DNA.

0:15:290:15:31

-But the DNA profile

-wasn't on the National Database.

0:15:350:15:39

-The killer's identity

-remained a mystery.

0:15:390:15:42

-As police carried out

-door-to-door enquiries...

0:15:420:15:46

-..one local man's name

-was mentioned.

0:15:460:15:49

-Iestyn Davies.

0:15:490:15:51

-What's that? A snooker cue?

0:15:520:15:54

-Iestyn Davies was 53 years old.

0:15:560:15:59

-He worked

-at a wool factory in the town.

0:15:590:16:01

-He rented a flat

-in Porthmadog harbour.

0:16:020:16:04

-The police interviewed him

-and collected a DNA sample.

0:16:050:16:09

-He'd also been caught

-on CCTV footage...

0:16:090:16:12

-..the night Ffion disappeared.

0:16:120:16:15

-The police started to study

-the footage more closely.

0:16:150:16:20

-We have a sighting at 4.15am

-of Iestyn Davies...

0:16:230:16:26

-..walking down the high street

-in the early hours...

0:16:260:16:30

-..towards

-where Ffion was walking home.

0:16:300:16:33

-These images show that Iestyn Davies

-was walking towards the Cob...

0:16:340:16:38

-..wearing dark trousers

-and black trainers at 5.09am.

0:16:380:16:43

-Later, in the harbour,

-footage from another CCTV camera...

0:16:440:16:47

-..captures light and movement

-in his flat.

0:16:480:16:51

-Later, at 6.11am...

0:16:510:16:53

-..this clip shows

-that he's changed his clothes...

0:16:530:16:57

-..and is now wearing

-different trousers and light shoes.

0:16:570:17:01

-It was significant in this case.

0:17:050:17:07

-We could trace his whereabouts...

0:17:080:17:10

-..and what he was wearing.

0:17:100:17:12

-We know where he was walking

-in the early hours.

0:17:130:17:16

-In September, Davies was taken

-into custody for questioning...

0:17:210:17:25

-..over Ffion's murder.

0:17:250:17:27

-Iestyn Davies denied all knowledge.

0:17:320:17:35

-He said he knew Ffion

-and was a friend of the family.

0:17:350:17:38

-He visited the family

-to offer his condolences...

0:17:380:17:42

-..and attended Ffion's funeral.

0:17:420:17:45

-He said he was walking his dog

-that morning and nothing else.

0:17:450:17:49

-After the police confirmed

-that Iestyn Davies' DNA profile...

0:17:530:17:58

-..matched the profile

-on Ffion's bag and the joggers...

0:17:580:18:01

-..he was charged with her murder.

0:18:020:18:04

-We could prove 100% that

-the trousers belonged to Davies...

0:18:080:18:13

-..and the handbag

-belonged to Ffion.

0:18:130:18:16

-It was here that Iestyn Davies

-made his biggest mistake.

0:18:170:18:21

-Instead of throwing them

-into the water...

0:18:220:18:25

-..he decided to throw them over the

-gate to get rid of the evidence...

0:18:250:18:29

-..and unfortunately for him,

-but fortunately for us...

0:18:300:18:33

-..they landed

-on the floor over there.

0:18:340:18:37

-In March 2011...

0:18:390:18:41

-..he was tried

-at Caernarfon Crown Court.

0:18:410:18:44

-After an eight-week trial...

0:18:450:18:47

-..the jury deliberated...

0:18:470:18:49

-..but failed to reach a verdict.

0:18:500:18:53

-After four days of deliberation...

0:18:540:18:57

-..the judge said

-he'd accept a majority verdict.

0:18:570:19:00

-At Caernarfon Crown Court...

0:19:040:19:07

-..a verdict was reached, with

-10 out of 12 jurors agreeing...

0:19:070:19:12

-..that Iestyn Davies killed Ffion.

0:19:120:19:14

-The judge told him

-he was a very dangerous man...

0:19:150:19:18

-..and sentenced him

-to life in prison...

0:19:180:19:21

-..with at least

-25 years behind bars.

0:19:210:19:24

-It was eight weeks of hell

-for my wife and me.

0:19:360:19:39

-I was glad a verdict was reached.

0:19:400:19:43

0:20:570:20:59

-More than five years

-after Ffion's death...

0:21:120:21:15

-..the effects can still be felt...

0:21:150:21:18

-..as the community

-tries to deal with the murder.

0:21:180:21:21

-Though Iestyn Davies

-is behind bars...

0:21:220:21:24

-..people still ask

-why a lovable 22-year-old girl...

0:21:250:21:28

-..was killed that morning.

0:21:280:21:30

-Iestyn Davies is guilty.

0:21:380:21:41

0:21:510:21:54

-if their daughter was murdered?

0:21:540:21:57

0:21:590:22:01

-Some of them live in this street.

0:22:030:22:05

0:22:060:22:08

0:22:110:22:14

-..after Ffion's brother

-and father were arrested...

0:22:150:22:18

-..early on in the investigation.

0:22:180:22:20

-We're still tormented by it

-to this day.

0:22:210:22:25

-It's not fair.

0:22:250:22:27

-My son has been through hell...

0:22:270:22:30

-..when they first thought

-that he'd murdered his sister.

0:22:300:22:34

-I know in my heart

-that he'd never do such a thing.

0:22:350:22:38
