Show Notes

In 2012, the body of Federica Mangiapelo was found by a lake in Italy. The coroner declared it a natural death, with the main suspect in the case claiming he was nowhere near the scene. But one tiny organism, invisible to the naked eye, proved otherwise.

Dr Paola Magni is a pioneer in aquatic forensics, a highly specialised and innovative form of criminal investigation. In this episode hosted by Kathryn Fox, discover how everything from plankton to barnacles can help bring criminals to justice and provide crucial answers to grieving families.
