2. A Murder Mystery Yeti

Andy Benfield and Richard Horsey continue their search for the yeti in the north-east Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh where they stumble across the story of a murder.
They visit the remote forest where the incident took place. Locals say the crime was committed by a yeti, but can this be true?
Looking back through crime reports, the pair piece together what happened and are given a clue as to where to search next.
In this 10-part documentary series, Andrew Benfield and Richard Horsey travel through India, Myanmar, Nepal and Bhutan in search of stories of yeti sightings and encounters. They hear from villagers, yak herders, sherpas and mountaineers, who give surprisingly consistent descriptions of a mysterious, large, hairy creature. This series takes us on a journey deep into Himalayan culture as the presenters grapple with their own inner demons to try to make sense of the yeti myth.
