In 2005, the body of 30-year-old Swedish woman, Annie Börjesson, was found on Prestwick beach on Scotland's west coast.
The authorities told Annie’s mother her daughter died of suicide.
However, in the years since, a new narrative has emerged that points not to suicide, but murder, cover-up, and one of the world’s most secretive security agencies.
Originally published in 2019, Sky News' multi award-winning podcast series examines What Happened To Annie? - a seven-part investigation into the mysterious life and death of Annie Borjesson.
