Body on the Moor

The investigation receives some good news but there are yet more questions. What can we find out about the man whose body was on the moor?

A year after "Neil Dovestones" was found, the investigation has become truly multi-national, with links to Pakistan, the Netherlands and Slovakia. Jon Manel hears how the police have been trying to make progress with fingerprints, DNA, and isotope analysis.

The man they are calling Neil Dovestones remains in the mortuary in Oldham but the police continue to make progress. The clue inside his left leg proves to be even more helpful than anticipated. With Jon Manel. If you have any information which you believe could help the police inquiry, you can reach DS Coleman's team by email: dovestones@gmp.police.uk You can contact Jon at jon.manel@bbc.co.uk

Why did the man they are now calling Neil travel such a long way to get to the moorland track where he was found? To have any chance of finding out who he is, the police need a decent lead. And they find one. Jon explores how that could help. With Jon Manel.

After six months, the man’s body remains in a mortuary in Oldham. Toxicology reports reveal the unusual way he died, and we hear about the plastic container he was carrying. With Jon Manel.
