🕵️‍♂️📸 The Pembrokeshire Murders (2021): A killer from the past. A case reborn.

"Some crimes fade from memory. Others wait to be found."

The Pembrokeshire Murders is a gripping, true-crime drama based on the chilling real story of serial killer John Cooper—and the relentless detective who finally brought him down decades after the murders. Set in the quiet countryside of Wales, the series unfolds like a slow-burning puzzle where justice is delayed, but never denied.

DS Steve Wilkins (Luke Evans), recently returned to Dyfed–Powys Police, reopens two cold cases from the 1980s: the brutal double murders of a young couple and an elderly pair. The original investigations went nowhere—but forensic science has evolved. And now, with advancements in DNA profiling and the fresh eyes of a newly assembled task force, a trail begins to emerge.

What they discover is both haunting and groundbreaking: Cooper had appeared on a game show in 1989—and a freeze-frame from that broadcast becomes a key to unlocking the case. As Wilkins digs deeper, he faces institutional doubt, community silence, and a predator who’s hidden in plain sight for far too long.

Quietly intense and emotionally devastating, The Pembrokeshire Murders shows how persistence, science, and human instinct can finally bring the truth to light—even when it's buried under decades of fear.
