7News Presents

7NEWS follows the story of a father of two, who has languished in jail for 13 years for the murder of his partner Stacey Thorne, has been granted a retrial following a successful Supreme Court appeal.

On July 14th, 2001, British Backpackers, Peter Falconio & Joanne Lees are attacked as they drive through the night on a remote highway in the Australian outback.

A former Australian detective, now an expert in behavioural analysis, studies two different videos of Joanne describing the attack and is not convinced that the story she tells is believable.

Bradley Murdoch was found guilty of killing Peter Falconio, but debate remains about whether he was correctly identified. Did the police get the right man?

In the final part, serious questions are asked about the strength of that DNA evidence in the Falconio murder case, and how it was communicated to the jury.
