For more than 20 years the case of the murder of six-year-old Rikki Neave went unsolved. In this new ten part investigation, award-winning journalist Winifred Robinson, has unearthed the truth through unprecedented access to police interview rooms, and follows the investigation as the police move in on the perpetrator.

It's a haunting and heart-breaking case filled with injustice, a story of vulnerable children, know to the authorities who should have been protected, a tale of lives wasted and cut short. You'll hear original police tapes never broadcast before, fresh testimony from suspects and witnesses, new and compelling evidence from forensic scientists. The series takes you inside the jury room and abroad as the manhunt closes in.

In Episode Eight of The Boy in the Woods the 大象传媒 Journalist, Winifred Robinson, investigates the past of the new main suspect in the case, a grown man now, but a boy of 13 at the time of Rikki's death. As the case against him takes shape he escapes to Portugal, hiding out in a camper van to avoid border controls. Once there he sends taunting photos to journalists in the UK and criticises what he claims are police attempts to incriminate him.
