About the episode

In the winter of 1988, two gold prospectors were scouring the picturesque Mount Firebrace in Victoria… when their search unearthed something far more chilling than treasure. Inside a disused mine shaft, they found a decomposed, mummified, headless body.  For local police and Melbourne’s elite homicide squad, it was a mystery frozen in time. Could forensics bring the truth to light? That's what today’s guest, forensic pathologist Professor David Ranson, set out to uncover.
