In the powerful conclusion of Torso in the Thames, Martin and Helen are once again joined by Police Commander Andy Baker to reveal the stunning new developments in this deeply disturbing case. Forensic science brings a game-changing revelation: isotope analysis suggests that Adam—the unidentified child victim—originated from Nigeria, not South Africa as previously thought. Pollen traces confirm he was killed in London. And a small but significant clue—German-made orange shorts—adds yet another layer to the mystery. Fueled by determination, Andy and Martin travel to Nigeria, visiting remote villages in a desperate effort to find Adam’s family and piece together his story. Then, a turning point: a media appeal prompts a tip that leads to a key suspect—someone who may finally hold the answers investigators have sought for over two decades. Is justice for Adam finally within reach? Or will the truth slip away once again? This is the case that shocked the world—and it’s not over yet. #TorsoInTheThames #JusticeForAdam #TrueCrimePodcast #UKMurderMystery #UnsolvedCase #RitualKilling #ColdCaseUK #ForensicBreakthrough #NigeriaInvestigation #BritishCrime If this episode gripped you, check out: The Boy in the Cellar The Nobody Zone Casefile: Unknown Victim The Missing Cryptoqueen The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann .................................................
