Investigated like a documentary but filmed as a drama, the series sees the pair investigating three cold cases using new leads and new technology including a cutting-edge anatomy table, which digitally recreates cadavers. In the Footsteps of Killers follows the duo as they reinvestigate the evidence and revisit the crime scenes to walk in the footsteps of the killer, attempting to see the scene from the perspective of the perpetrator and the victim.
Check out the exclusive trailer below:
Through Fox’s extensive research for her role in the hit BBC Series, she has become engrained in the world of unsolved cases.

By meeting with police, witnesses, journalists, experts, and beyond, the two will walk the murder scene in the footsteps of the killer to crack the unsolved cases.
