[citation needed] This series saw the introduction of two new main characters, Professor Leo Dalton and Dr Harry Cunningham, portrayed by William Gaminara and Tom Ward, respectively.
Nikki investigates the murder of a teenage girl, who fell from a ride at a funfair after being brutally raped and stabbed and suspects the killing may have been part of a gang initiation.
Meanwhile, the police struggle to secure any concrete evidence against gang leader Keenan, who manages to evade them and continue his killing spree.
Harry befriends eager medical student Holly Farr after giving a lecture to a group of trainees and involves her in his latest case, the post-mortem of a woman whose body was found at the side of a road with the face expertly removed.
Nikki tries to reconstruct the victim's features to help identify her, but Holly immediately recognises her as Fran Price – a former TV presenter and journalist who had fallen on hard times.
Nikki's archaeologist friend Patrick becomes excited when a woman's body, apparently a thousand years old, is unearthed on a Yorkshire moor.
However, dental records show she is a more recent murder victim and Leo, who once worked in the area, believes she is Jodie Fisher, a teenage girl who went missing in 1985.
Meanwhile, Harry carries out the post-mortem on Lockford, and soon discovers he did not commit suicide, and was instead murdered, after the discovery of a bullet lodged in the front of his brain – fired after the fatal shot that killed him.
[12] The originally intended order of episodes now used by other broadcasters[citation needed] and by IMDb[13] is: Death Has No Dominion, And Then I Fell in Love, Paradise Lost, Domestic, Redhill, Fear.
But she soon has more to worry about when a workman at the centre reveals how his mother, Annie, is being manipulated by a convicted serial killer into searching for his hidden teenage victims' bones.
Coincidentally, Leo is visited by Nikki's former mentor who may be suspended or have her licence revoked owing to disciplinary issues, and is asked by him to review a research she did on Arnold Mears.
Leo is determined to get at the truth about the murder of ex-prison inspector Rachel Kruger and decides to follow violent officer Kessler – but before long he finds himself in dangerous territory.
She wanted to remove any links to the Wade surname, and this failed to work out and resulted in the death of Kruger and her assistant who were investigating the Redhill prison, including the doctor's financial records for the significant sum of money recently credited into his account.
Nikki uses facial reconstruction to identify the decomposed body found at the airport, and she and Harry make a crucial connection between the dead girl and sex-grooming victim Shannon, who is later returned to her family.
