The naked body of a young woman is found in isolated woods. Police never catch her killer. Journalist Sam Poling's investigation takes her into a dark and unsettling world of sex, rape, lies and murder. And it leads her to confront the man she believes is the prime suspect.
From BBC Scotland, Who Killed Emma? Is an eight-part podcast that forensically takes apart the police investigation into Emma's murder and unravels the impact of a series of coincidences and missed opportunities until a clear suspect starts to emerge.

Customer Reviews
Astonishing podcast, LISTEN.
This is an investigative podcast, that REALLY investigates, not speculates. Interviews with police, women, and the suspect. Real risk, but real intelligence, KINDNESS, and real social investigation and commentary. SAM - you did incredible work, so moving, I’m a rape victim and the way you spoke to and about all of these women, does you credit, your respect for facts and humans absolutely shone through. I hope Emma’s family has some relief in what happened after your podcast and documentary series.it must have been terrifying sometimes to have done this work, well done. one of the times (sadly fewer every year) that we can be proud of the BBC.
Great work
Incredible piece of work and really well documented by Sam. As for the police it just beggars belief.
Brilliant investigative journalism
Captivating podcast that actually did what the police should've done. 👏👏
