Shop assistant Rachel had been to a 1970s-themed fancy dress party and Chicago's nightclub in Milton Keynes with her boyfriend, Barri White, when she became lost in the early hours of 10 December 2000. Police suspect and arrested Barri a few hours after finding Rachel's body and didn't let that go until his was sentenced. Only when the BBC filmed a show about the case was the actual murderer discovered. In a gripping ten part series, Murdertown puts location centre stage. Each episode tells the compelling, step-by-step story of how one extraordinary murder was solved and how it fit a disturbing wider pattern in one particular city. With interviews from victims, witnesses and police officers, Murdertown tells the story of some of the most shocking murders in the UK and examines the impact they had on local communities around them.
