In every murder investigation, there's one key item that could bring a killer to justice. But finding it....and knowing what evidence it contains....well that's the challenge. Because the smoking gun could be anything. A bouquet of flowers...a Chinese meal...a mosquito. In this series we tell the remarkable true stories of how everyday items such as these have been the key to unlocking a criminal case. And we unpack the science - revealing the cutting edge techniques and the disciplines mastered over decades, which allow specialist forensic scientists to find this evidence.
Hosted by the UK's most prominent forensic scientist Tracy Alexander.

Smoking as we all know…has many harmful side effects. Cancer, heart disease, even diabetes. But were you aware that cigarettes can also get you convicted of murder? After renowned American TV director and formidable bridge player Barry Crane was found dead by his housekeeper in his LA apartment, his murder baffled the authorities for years. Until one day, almost three decades later, when a discarded butt, binned during a routine smoke break, finally put the killer behind bars.
