White House Farm

The case appears to be open-and-shut to lead investigating officer DI Thomas ‘Taff’ Jones, who makes his conclusions immediately. But for listless DS Stan Jones something, in both the detail of the murders and the behaviour of those associated, doesn’t feel right.

Another statement from the family gives Stan and his number two, Mick Clark, a clearer lead into a possible psychological motive for Sheila, but more questions are thrown up and their picture of what really happened that night at White House Farm remains inconsistent.

After a vital discovery at White House Farm, Stan and Mick feel closer and closer to shoring up their theories, but this is soon shattered when the family's problematic handling of a piece of evidence comes to light. [This episode has an audio issue]

As the date of the funerals approach, the family members ready themselves to say goodbye. Much to Julie’s chagrin, Jeremy and Brett seem closer than ever and she feels cast aside and frozen out, becoming increasingly aware of the different faces Jeremy puts on in public and in private.

Even though the testimony of a vital witness fills in the blanks and answers some of Stan and Mick’s questions, even more complications are thrown up. This aside, Stan and Mick are still able to make the first arrests of the case and continue questioning in the hopes that they lead to further solutions.

As the case races towards its conclusion and all evidence and information is gathered, scrutinized and interrogated, a very publicized and polarized trial begins, calling those involved in the case to testify before the jury and packed gallery.
