On 13th May 2006 a man walking on the beach in Seaham, south of Sunderland, made a shocking discovery. He called the police and set in train a series of events that have yet to be resolved.

We explore the events that took place following the discovery of these human remains on the Featherbed Rocks. Fiona Thompson, who covered the story as a reporter for the Sunderland Echo at the time, takes us through the actions by police and others in the following weeks, months and years in an attempt to identify these remains.

Testimony: The Body on Seaham Beach features interviews with key people and agencies involved in the case. The podcast shares great insight not only into this specific case but just how missing people cases and unidentified remains are treated by the authorities.

Testimony: The Body on Seaham Beach poses the question whether someone out there has the key to solving this case.
