24 - TRUE CRIME: The Unsolved Murder of Alan Wood - Evidence Without Answers

In October 2009, 50 year old Alan Wood was living a quiet life in rural Lincolnshire. A gentle and well-liked man, he worked nights at Sainsbury’s, ran a small gardening business, and enjoyed spending time with friends at his local pub. But after what appeared to be a completely routine evening, Alan returned home — and was never seen alive again. Three days later he was found dead in his living room, the victim of an extremely violent attack that shocked even experienced investigators. What makes this case particularly unusual is the amount of evidence recovered. Police identified a full male DNA profile at the crime scene, as well as a distinctive footwear mark. There is also CCTV footage of someone using Alan’s bank cards, and an E-fit of a potential suspect. Yet almost 17 years later, the murder remains unsolved. In this episode, we take a closer look at the evidence, the investigation, and the unanswered questions that still surround the murder of Alan Wood. Because despite the DNA evidence, CCTV, and multiple investigative leads — the person responsible has never been identified, and someone somewhere knows who it is.
