Prime Suspect: Murder In Suburbia
Brand new premiere
‘Prime Suspect: Murder In Suburbia’ investigates one of Britain’s most baffling cold cases. Robert Jones was a family doctor in the picturesque town of Coggeshall, Essex, where he lived with his 35-year-old wife Diane.
In July 1983, Diane vanished…
Three months later her body was discovered. Suspicion centred on her husband, yet no culprit has ever been identified. Forty years on, this feature length special explores new evidence from detectives, friends, and neighbours, peeling back the shocking layers to reveal the truth that is stranger than fiction and that the reality of Diane’s secret life was far from what anyone imagined
We are delighted to announce that 'Easter Island Origins' will premiere today, February 7, at 9PM EST on PBS 🗿
They are among the most mystifying monuments on the planet. On a remote island in the Pacific great stone heads stare unblinking into the distance. Now, new research is challenging everything we thought we knew about the Easter Island statues and the lives of those that created them. Why were these figures created and what drove the islanders to make them? And can they tell us anything about how those who created these figures survived on this apparently barren island and where they originally come from?
