-In a murder case,

-it's a race against time...

0:00:040:00:07

-..to discover what happened.

0:00:070:00:10

-Where, why and who's responsible?

0:00:100:00:13

-Tonight, I hear how the remains

-of a female dancer in the Gower...

0:00:170:00:22

-..were found

-40 years after she disappeared.

0:00:220:00:25

-And I hear about the North Wales

-Police's investigation...

0:00:270:00:31

-..into a skeleton found in woodland.

0:00:310:00:34

-We have to find out who he was...

0:00:350:00:38

-..what happened to him and why.

0:00:380:00:41

-Caswell Bay in the Gower.

0:01:040:01:06

-It was near this beach in 1961...

0:01:060:01:10

-..that detectives solved a mystery

-that had baffled police for decades.

0:01:100:01:15

-In November, three local men...

0:01:230:01:26

-..explored a cave near

-the former lead mine at Brandy Cove.

0:01:270:01:30

-It was there, in a hidden chamber...

0:01:310:01:33

-..that they discovered

-a pile of human bones.

0:01:330:01:37

-I could see a round skull...

0:01:410:01:44

-..lying on top of the boulders.

0:01:440:01:47

-So I picked it up

-and turned it around...

0:01:470:01:50

-..and it appeared to be

-a human skull.

0:01:500:01:53

-One of the men

-removed the skull from the cave...

0:01:590:02:02

-..and took it to the police.

0:02:020:02:04

-Following on from that,

-a pathologist entered the cave...

0:02:040:02:10

-..and removed all the bones.

0:02:100:02:12

-It was clear to the pathologist...

0:02:130:02:15

-..that the body had been dismembered

-in three parts with a saw.

0:02:150:02:21

-They suspected the body

-had been there for some years.

0:02:220:02:26

-There were further clues

-inside the cave.

0:02:260:02:29

-Beside the bones...

0:02:320:02:34

-..was a hairbrush, rings...

0:02:340:02:37

-..and tassels that had detached

-from the person's clothes.

0:02:370:02:42

-As detectives

-tried to identify the body...

0:02:460:02:49

-..they were told

-of a missing person in the area.

0:02:490:02:53

-40 years earlier...

0:02:540:02:56

-..a woman

-named Mamie Stuart disappeared.

0:02:570:03:00

-Born and raised

-in Sunderland in 1893...

0:03:020:03:06

-..she left home, aged 16,

-to pursue a stage career.

0:03:060:03:10

-She was a very talented girl.

-She could sing and dance.

0:03:120:03:16

-She had her heart set

-on the stage.

0:03:160:03:19

-She found work as a chorus girl

-and was part of a group...

0:03:210:03:24

-..called the Five Verona Girls.

0:03:250:03:27

-In 1917 she met

-marine surveyor George Shotton.

0:03:350:03:39

-He was older than her,

-a professional man...

0:03:430:03:46

-..who was, by all accounts,

-respectable.

0:03:460:03:49

-They fell in love

-and got married after a year.

0:03:500:03:53

-They moved around the country...

0:03:540:03:57

-..until they

-eventually settled in Swansea.

0:03:570:04:01

-George Shotton

-had found work in the city.

0:04:020:04:06

-They moved to a house

-on Newton Road in the Mumbles.

0:04:060:04:10

-It was clear at the beginning of

-the marriage that she was unhappy.

0:04:130:04:17

-She was spotted on the beaches...

0:04:200:04:22

-..of Mumbles and Caswell Bay...

0:04:230:04:26

-..looking forlorn.

0:04:260:04:28

-On top of that,

-she wrote letters home...

0:04:280:04:31

-..suggesting to her parents

-that it was an unhappy marriage...

0:04:310:04:36

-..and that she wanted to end it.

0:04:370:04:39

-She made one very strange remark.

0:04:410:04:45

-She said,

-"If I should ever go missing...

0:04:450:04:49

-"..will you make sure

-that you go looking for me?"

0:04:490:04:53

-And that's what happened -

-she disappeared.

0:04:530:04:56

-After her suitcase was discovered

-at a Swansea hotel...

0:04:580:05:02

-..her parents phoned the police.

0:05:020:05:04

-Officers searched for her

-in Caswell Bay.

0:05:050:05:09

-There was no sign of Mamie.

0:05:090:05:11

-Newspaper stories suggested that

-Mamie Stuart had moved overseas....

0:05:190:05:24

-..to start a new life.

0:05:240:05:26

-Some claimed

-to have seen her in New York.

0:05:260:05:29

-Friends of the family claimed

-they'd seen her in India in 1923.

0:05:290:05:33

-In reality, Mamie's disappearance

-was a complete mystery to everyone.

0:05:330:05:38

-The police

-questioned George Shotton.

0:05:450:05:48

-They discovered

-that he lived a secret life.

0:05:480:05:51

-Unbeknown to Mamie,

-George had another wife...

0:05:530:05:56

-..who lived in Caswell Bay.

0:05:560:05:58

-They had a child together.

0:05:580:06:00

-George told police he'd

-had a relationship with Mamie...

0:06:000:06:04

-..but insisted they weren't married.

0:06:040:06:07

-He said they'd separated

-and Mamie had moved out of the area.

0:06:070:06:11

-Though the police

-doubted George Shotton's evidence...

0:06:140:06:18

-..without a body,

-there was no proof.

0:06:190:06:22

-However, he was arrested

-and found guilty of bigamy.

0:06:230:06:26

-He was sentenced to 18 months

-of hard labour in prison.

0:06:270:06:31

-South Wales Police

-retain details of serious cases...

0:06:360:06:39

-..and any forensic evidence.

0:06:400:06:42

-In 1961, police collected the items

-found beside the body...

0:06:430:06:47

-..in Brandy Cove...

0:06:480:06:50

-..including rings, ribbons

-and other jewellery.

0:06:500:06:55

-In this box is a chain,

-a safety pin, fasteners...

0:06:590:07:03

-..and a pearl button.

0:07:030:07:05

-We know

-from Mamie's friends and family...

0:07:060:07:10

-..that these are the type of things

-she wore on her clothes...

0:07:100:07:14

-..especially the button.

0:07:150:07:17

-For the police in the 1960s...

0:07:200:07:23

-..there was strong evidence

-to suggest this was Mamie's body.

0:07:230:07:27

-We have a hair slide.

0:07:280:07:30

-This was discovered

-next to the bones.

0:07:310:07:35

-The hair is brown,

-the same colour as Mamie's hair.

0:07:350:07:40

-These days, the victim's hair...

0:07:430:07:45

-..would deliver a DNA profile

-and quick results for detectives.

0:07:460:07:50

-But even in the 1960s...

0:07:500:07:52

-..police used the skull

-to determine the shape of her face.

0:07:530:07:57

-At the time, in 1961...

0:07:570:07:59

-..this is the technology they used.

0:08:000:08:02

-By comparing the skull

-that was discovered...

0:08:030:08:06

-..with a photograph

-of Mamie Stuart...

0:08:060:08:09

-..they used an overlay,

-and by doing that...

0:08:090:08:13

-..we can see that the overlay

-fitted the photograph.

0:08:130:08:17

-We know it was Mamie Stuart.

0:08:170:08:19

-This is the Face Lab in Liverpool

-which helps police forces...

0:08:240:08:28

-..to identify human remains

-by concentrating on the face.

0:08:280:08:32

-The techniques are very different

-from those of the 1960s.

0:08:330:08:37

-The first thing we do...

0:08:440:08:46

-..is establish the biological

-profile of the remains.

0:08:460:08:50

-The age, the sex of the individual,

-the ethnic group, the ancestry.

0:08:500:08:55

-We look at signs

-of trauma or disease...

0:08:550:08:57

-..and we focus specifically

-on prediction of facial features...

0:08:580:09:02

-..from analysis of the bones

-of the face.

0:09:020:09:06

-We've built up a process and

-a database of scanned features...

0:09:080:09:12

-..and modelled muscles

-that we can import...

0:09:120:09:15

-..and build the face, muscle

-by muscle, feature by feature...

0:09:150:09:20

-..on to the 3D model from the scan.

0:09:200:09:22

-Despite the advances, some aspects

-are still difficult to determine.

0:09:250:09:30

-Skin colour, eye colour,

-hairstyle...

0:09:340:09:37

-..the number of wrinkles - texture

-information is difficult to know.

0:09:370:09:41

-We have to be careful when we

-present this face to the public...

0:09:410:09:45

-..because we want it

-to be recognized.

0:09:450:09:48

-We produce an image

-in black and white...

0:09:480:09:51

-..that the police can put out

-to the public in a frontal view.

0:09:510:09:56

-We focus on the centre of the face

-and blur anything like hairstyle...

0:09:560:10:00

-..that we may not

-feel confident about.

0:10:000:10:03

-In the 1960s,

-detectives were sure...

0:10:060:10:09

-..that the body at Brandy Cove

-was that of Mamie Stuart.

0:10:090:10:13

-But it was hard to prove

-whether or not she was murdered.

0:10:130:10:17

-The evidence of a local witness

-proved vital to the inquest.

0:10:170:10:22

-During the inquest

-in December 1961...

0:10:240:10:27

-..a postman said he remembered

-seeing George Shotton...

0:10:270:10:31

-..carrying a heavy sack

-from his house to his car...

0:10:310:10:35

-..and driving towards Brandy Cove.

0:10:350:10:37

-The jury decided that it was

-Mamie's body inside the sack.

0:10:380:10:42

-Pieces of sackcloth...

0:10:470:10:50

-..found near the bones

-confirmed suspicions...

0:10:500:10:53

-..that George Shotton

-had murdered her.

0:10:540:10:57

-But when detectives went to

-search for him, they were too late.

0:11:000:11:05

-He'd died three years earlier...

0:11:050:11:08

-..aged 78.

0:11:080:11:10

-On his release from jail,

-George Shotton moved to England...

0:11:120:11:16

-..and lived a quiet life.

0:11:170:11:19

-He died in April 1958

-at Southmead Hospital, Bristol.

0:11:190:11:23

-A mere three years

-after his death...

0:11:230:11:25

-..the truth about his secret

-came to light...

0:11:250:11:28

-..and was widely reported

-in the British press.

0:11:280:11:32

-He never thought

-Mamie Stuart would be found...

0:11:470:11:51

-..because the body was kept

-in a chamber inside the cave.

0:11:510:11:56

-It was purely down to luck...

0:11:570:12:01

-..that the men decided

-to take that route into the cave.

0:12:020:12:05

-Though it took 40 years

-to find Mamie Stuart...

0:12:080:12:12

-..the mystery surrounding

-her disappearance had been solved.

0:12:130:12:18

-But for detectives in North Wales...

0:12:220:12:25

-..efforts to identify human remains

-found in a forest continue.

-November 2015...

0:13:000:13:02

-..and North Wales Police

-were called to Clocaenog Forest.

0:13:030:13:06

-A discovery amongst the trees...

0:13:080:13:10

-..led to a case

-full of mystery for detectives.

0:13:110:13:14

-The Rally GB stage

-of the World Rally Championship...

0:13:210:13:25

-..was held in the Llyn Brenig area.

0:13:250:13:27

-Due to bad weather, some spectators

-went in search of firewood.

0:13:280:13:33

-They were shocked to find bones

-in the soil beneath the trees.

0:13:330:13:37

-When they took

-a closer look with a torch...

0:13:390:13:42

-..one of them saw something

-glistening under the moss.

0:13:420:13:47

-As they entered this area here...

0:13:500:13:53

-..in this precise location...

0:13:530:13:55

-..one of them found a skull.

0:13:550:13:57

-He phoned the police

-to inform them he'd found a skull.

0:13:570:14:03

-A pathologist arrived...

0:14:060:14:08

-..and confirmed it was

-a human skull that they'd found.

0:14:080:14:12

-Police found more bones

-scattered in the earth.

0:14:120:14:16

-The forensics' team

-came to examine the entire area...

0:14:210:14:25

-..to try and find

-the rest of the body.

0:14:250:14:28

-As you can see...

0:14:280:14:31

-..this area had been cordoned off...

0:14:310:14:33

-..and we searched the inner cordon.

0:14:340:14:36

-The forensics' team

-spent five weeks...

0:14:440:14:47

-..searching every inch of the area

-in all weathers...

0:14:470:14:51

-..to find any piece of evidence.

0:14:510:14:53

-It was dense with trees,

-the weather was dreadful.

0:14:570:15:00

-It was difficult getting here.

0:15:000:15:03

-Forestry workers

-helped clear part of the forest.

0:15:030:15:07

-It was very difficult

-for the team to get here.

0:15:070:15:11

-As soon as they arrived,

-we started clearing.

0:15:110:15:14

-They had to closely examine the

-earth to find the entire skeleton.

0:15:140:15:19

-One part of the skull...

0:15:190:15:23

-..was found higher up, which

-suggests animals had been here...

0:15:230:15:27

-..and moved parts of the body.

0:15:270:15:29

-A team of forensic anthropologists

-studied the remains.

0:15:340:15:38

-Specialist biologists studied

-the growth of the trees and plants.

0:15:390:15:43

-They took samples

-of the earth as well as the roots.

0:15:430:15:47

-We strongly suspect that the body

-had been here for a long time.

0:15:470:15:52

-We don't think it was buried here...

0:15:520:15:54

-..but we believe that plants,

-leaves and branches...

0:15:550:15:58

-..were either laid on top of it

-or that they'd fallen onto it.

0:15:590:16:02

-After conducting tests

-on the bones...

0:16:050:16:08

-..detectives had a profile

-of the person found in the woods.

0:16:080:16:12

-We took a DNA profile...

0:16:190:16:21

-..which showed it was a man

-with a full profile.

0:16:210:16:26

-We knew

-it was the skeleton of a man.

0:16:260:16:29

-Afterwards, they were able

-to measure the man's height.

0:16:290:16:33

-By now,

-we know that it was a person...

0:16:340:16:39

-..of approximately

-five foot eight inches...

0:16:390:16:43

-..to five foot

-ten and a half inches tall.

0:16:430:16:46

-We also believe that

-he was at least 54 years of age.

0:16:460:16:51

-Tests on the skull...

0:16:530:16:54

-..made detectives suspect

-that it was a suspicious death.

0:16:550:16:59

-As yet,

-we don't know if he was killed....

0:17:070:17:10

-..but we're looking into

-whether or not he was killed.

0:17:100:17:13

-He'd certainly sustained

-some sort of trauma to the head...

0:17:140:17:17

-..and another part of the body.

0:17:170:17:19

-The next step was to establish

-how long the body had been there.

0:17:200:17:24

-Alright, boss?

0:17:250:17:26

-I've got some photos

-of the forest we've recently had....

0:17:260:17:30

-..regarding

-this body deposition site...

0:17:300:17:33

-..in relation to the development

-of the forest over the years.

0:17:330:17:38

-They're excellent.

0:17:380:17:40

-Aerial photographs

-give detectives clues...

0:17:400:17:44

-..about the forest's history

-since the 1970s.

0:17:440:17:47

-We know

-the forest had been replanted...

0:17:470:17:50

-..at the end of the 1980s.

0:17:500:17:53

-It's likely that he wasn't deposited

-there at that time...

0:17:540:17:59

-..because there was no forest

-to conceal him.

0:17:590:18:03

-The skeleton was discovered

-near the village of Pentrellyncymer.

0:18:110:18:15

-A remote location...

0:18:180:18:19

-..off the beaten track.

0:18:200:18:22

-This area is very remote.

0:18:290:18:31

-It makes you think that it's someone

-with some connection to this place.

0:18:310:18:36

-It might be a local or someone

-who knows about this place.

0:18:360:18:42

-It's very rare that someone

-leaves a body somewhere...

0:18:440:18:48

-..with no knowledge

-of the area itself.

0:18:480:18:51

-But when the news broke,

-no-one came forward with a name.

0:18:560:19:00

-The detectives were still in the

-dark, unable to identify the body.

0:19:010:19:05

-As detectives,

-we have to find out who he was...

0:19:110:19:14

-..in order to focus

-on the victimology...

0:19:140:19:17

-..and work out

-what happened to him and why.

0:19:170:19:21

-Until we know who he was...

0:19:210:19:23

-..it's hard to know

-what happened to him.

0:19:230:19:26

-The forensics' team found

-a piece of clothing in the forest.

0:19:280:19:32

-Tests carried out on the fibres

-were very revealing.

0:19:330:19:36

-By examining the material...

0:19:410:19:44

-..they've discovered

-it was dark green in colour...

-..and that it was a Pringle jumper.

0:19:490:19:52

-By visiting

-the Pringle company in Scotland...

0:19:520:19:56

-..we've recently ascertained...

0:19:560:19:59

-..that the jumper itself

-was produced between 2000 and 2004.

0:20:000:20:05

-That's very good news for us...

0:20:050:20:08

-..because we now know

-that the body had been there...

0:20:080:20:11

-..after the year 2000.

0:20:120:20:14

-Detectives hope someone

-will recognize the jumper.

0:20:140:20:18

-They're also awaiting DNA results...

0:20:180:20:22

-..hoping to trace

-the man's family members...

0:20:220:20:26

-..on the National Database.

0:20:260:20:28

-Studies on the teeth

-that were discovered....

0:20:310:20:35

-..have provided the police

-with further clues.

0:20:350:20:38

-Dr John Rosie is the dental expert

-who examined the teeth.

0:20:380:20:42

-There were

-three teeth present in the jaws.

0:20:430:20:46

-Seven teeth

-were recovered at the scene.

0:20:470:20:50

-He'd not been dentally aware

-in his younger life...

0:20:520:20:56

-..and he'd lost all his 12 posterior

-molars and one upper pre-molar.

0:20:560:21:00

-So he went to great lengths to have

-extensive dental treatment done...

0:21:010:21:06

-..of very high quality.

0:21:060:21:09

-That has formed the basis

-of my dental examination.

0:21:090:21:13

-The dentist claims the dental work

-was done between 1980 and 2000.

0:21:160:21:21

-The hope is that one dentist

-somewhere in Britain...

0:21:210:21:25

-..will recognize his own work.

0:21:250:21:27

-Hopefully there are sufficient teeth

-there with sufficient evidence...

0:21:290:21:33

-..to act as a calling card so that

-somebody can identify this person.

0:21:340:21:38

-North Wales Police

-have launched a nationwide appeal...

0:21:540:21:58

-..hoping someone somewhere

-knows the man...

0:21:580:22:01

-..and can throw some light

-on the mystery of Clocaenog Forest.

0:22:010:22:05

-We hope we can persevere...

0:22:060:22:09

-..in order to bring closure...

0:22:100:22:12

-..for a family somewhere.

0:22:130:22:15

-Our hope is to identify the body

-left in Clocaenog.

0:22:150:22:18

-The investigation continues.

0:22:400:22:42

-Forensic experts and detectives

-are still gathering evidence.

0:22:420:22:47

-But it's possible that it will

-continue to remain a mystery...

0:22:470:22:51

-..until detectives

-discover the truth.
