Forensic Tales

Lynette White


Listen Later

#288 - It was Valentine’s Day, 1988, in Wales. While couples exchanged roses and love notes, in a small flat above a betting shop, a young woman lay brutally murdered. Her name was Lynette White. She was just 20 years old.

What followed her death wasn’t just a murder investigation—it was a legal and forensic nightmare. Five innocent men were accused, imprisoned, and publicly vilified for a crime they didn’t commit. And it would take 15 years—and one tiny fragment of DNA—to reveal the true killer hiding in plain sight.

This isn’t just a story of a violent crime. It’s a story about the failure of justice... and how forensic science became the key to unraveling a decades-old lie.
