people were waiting for the third murder. in 1987, the opportunities to gather evidence would have been quite different to what we can do nowadays. there would have been quite a lot of emphasis on what witnesses had seen, what witnesses had heard. we had uniform officers drafted in, doing the house to house inquiries you know, it was it was huge. it was wendy s flat which contained some critical clues. wendy s white blouse that she d been wearing last known to have been wearing that was bloodstained. and on the sleeve cuff of that blouse, there was a partial shoeprint in blood. there was also other dna found on that bed sheet and the duvet cover. for caroline s murder, there was no forensic leads. and back in 1987, there was very limited work that could be done around dna, for example. caroline s tights did have a trace from the killer. when the dna database
a register of plates since 190a. the database of police dna profiles only began in 1985, and wendy s killer wasn t on it. but part of another plate can tell you where and when a car was registered. and now part of a dna profile can tell you the family the sample likely comes from. likely comes from. you can imagine likely comes from. you can imagine over likely comes from. you can imagine over 65 likely comes from. you can imagine over 65 million - likely comes from. you can - imagine over 65 million people in the uk, there around 6.5 million profiles in the dna database. through science, data base. through science, through database. through science, through algorithms, through brilliant individuals, they will narrower that profile dental population of around 90 people. they will narrow that profile. 9c} people. they will narrow that profile. that profile. 90 people in a liven that profile. 90 people in a given the that profile. 90 people in a given the police that pro
of methane gas in order to study it and see if there are extremophile bacteria living at the bottom of this crater that could give us clues as to where we might want to look for a life outside of our solar system. and this is a very unique place on earth, there is no other spot just like it. well, it was very difficult to get there two years or so of planning and preparation. i had a special heat resistant suit and self contained air. i was able to drop down in the centre and spend 17 minutes at the bottom and what felt like another planet it really was otherworldly, and we did find several types of microorganisms living in that crater that were not in the dna database, and were thriving in this condition that we would find fatal. there is a bit of controversy as to how we believe it was formed, but essentially, there was a sinkhole that formed and caused a drilling rig basically harvesting this methane gas
