“Murder Scene: The Incident Room” returns this Wednesday with a heart-wrenching case: the disappearance of 17-year-old Jayden Parkinson from her Oxford hostel in December 2013. As a massive community search effort yields no results, detectives begin to suspect the worst. Has Jayden simply run away or has something far more sinister occurred? The focus of the investigation quickly turns to Jayden’s ex-boyfriend, Ben Blakeley, as police work to establish a timeline of events and potential motives.
Inside the incident room, the pressure mounts. Every minute counts in a missing person’s case, and the detectives leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of answers. Their primary objective is twofold: determine whether Jayden has been murdered, and if so, locate her body. The episode takes a raw, unflinching look at the painstaking process of a police investigation, revealing the challenges and complexities faced by those working to bring justice to Jayden and her family.
“Murder Scene: The Incident Room: The Girl in the Grave” airs Wednesday, April 9 at 8:00 PM on Channel 5.
