The Levi Jeans

Our opening episode tells the story of the brutal murder of Arlis Perry, a young girl found slain in Stamford University Church. Her killing bears all the hallmarks of a ritualistic sacrifice. But who’s to blame? Arlis’ young husband? The campus security guard? Or renowned serial killer, the Son of Sam? Almost four decades after the fact, Arlis’ blue jeans hold the forensic key to unlock this infamous case. 

Smoking Gun is a What's The Story original series, narrated by Romola Garai and Britain's best known forensic scientist Tracy Alexander. And is supported by the British Academy of Forensic Sciences.
