1. The Burning Man: Chapter One

mortem

Available for over a year

Like so many stories, it all starts with a body. And, in this case, a mortician who can鈥檛 leave a puzzle unanswered. Carla Valentine invites us through the doors of the mortuary. And, with each cut, she pieces together the last moments of this person鈥檚 life. The body is burnt beyond recognition. She鈥檒l have to go to the scene of the crime to discover the full story. Because fire doesn鈥檛 destroy everything, as Fire Investigator Emma Wilson demonstrates. So who is the burning man? This episode includes references to death, suicide and dissection, which some listeners may find distressing. Our victim is fictional, but the science and the scientists are very real.
