THE REAL UNFORGOTTEN: THE UNSOLVED MURDER OF CAROL MORGAN

Filmed across six years, this two-part series follows cold case detectives as they reopen a murder investigation from over 40 years ago.

But with no forensic evidence to prove who did it, will they be able to solve this tragic murder?

In 1981, Carol Morgan was murdered in the storeroom of her Bedfordshire corner shop. A beloved local figure and mother of two young children, this murder has haunted the community ever since.

Four decades later, investigators have an uphill battle. Witnesses are passing away, and any evidence they have is dying with them. On top of this, some of the 1981 evidence was destroyed many years ago. And with no forensic evidence or murder weapon, this is one of the hardest cases the force has ever seen.

Just like the acclaimed drama series, The Unforgotten, this series follows detectives as they peel back the evidence, layer by layer. But can they uncover the truth behind what really happened to Carol Morgan?

This is The Real Unforgotten.
