Truly Criminal

In October 1995, an anonymous man called 999 to report a fire at a block of flats in London. He seemed to know exactly where the fire was, yet he couldn’t give the name of the road. He refused to identify himself, and once the call ended, he was never heard from again.

What initially appeared to be an emergency call about a fire would soon become part of something far more sinister.

As investigators began to piece together what had happened inside the building, CCTV footage, an unidentified man and that strange phone call would all become central to a mystery that has remained unsolved for more than 30 years.

This is the case of Joy Hewer.

On a quiet summer evening in Aberdeen, two teenage boys out riding their bikes stumbled upon something they could never have imagined; a murder in progress.

Unbeknownst to them, they became the only known witnesses to the killer of George Murdoch. Despite one of the largest murder investigations in Scottish history, that person has never been identified.

More than 40 years later, the brutal killing remains unsolved. With fresh forensic techniques, countless theories, and a case that has continued to haunt detectives for decades, one question still remains...
