00:00Generally, nice, nice kid, nice person.

00:07She'd had problems from early childhood

00:10and there was never guidance in her life.

00:15Lynette White was only 20 years old.

00:18She'd had a difficult upbringing

00:20and was working as a prostitute in the Docks area of Cardiff.

00:30It's easy to label people without actually knowing them.

00:35You don't know what has coerced them into doing things.

00:38You don't know anything about their life.

00:41She was a young girl who was brutally murdered.

00:49The investigation into Lynette White's murder

00:52was to be tainted by accusations of racism and corruption.

00:56Witnesses were bullied by police

00:59and a false confession led to one of the worst miscarriages of justice

01:03in British legal history.

01:05A suspect with blood-stained clothes, who was seen near the flat, was white,

01:10but all the men the police arrested were black.

01:14They would become known by campaigners as the Cardiff Five.

01:22You know, when they're telling you something like this

01:25you know, a girl had been stabbed 50 to 70 times,

01:30you know, don't put this on me.

01:32But they did, that's what they wanted to do.

01:34There was nothing we could do.

01:36There wasn't a shred of evidence

01:39connecting, forensically, these people to the murder.

01:44Something had gone wrong.

01:46With their convictions overturned,

01:48the failure to catch the real killer

01:51was a stain on South Wales Police

01:54and left a shadow hanging over the community.

01:58In 1999, 11 years after Lynette's murder,

02:02a fresh team of detectives from the force

02:05launched a last-ditch attempt to find the real killer.

02:10And that's where we turned to what we saw as being the best in the field,

02:13Angela Gallop.

02:15How can you help us?

02:17And the work that Angela Gallop and her team would do

02:20to help solve Lynette's murder

02:22was to change the way forensic science is used

02:25to crack seemingly unsolvable crimes.

02:32You learn something new in every case,

02:34but my goodness, we learned a lot from this particular one.

02:47I'll never forget the first time

02:49I walked into a forensic science lab.

02:52I noticed that there was this orangey-red staining

02:55inside a fume cupboard

02:57and then on the side wall and bench next to it.
