Homicide detective Rod Demery and geneticist Turi King treat ancient bodies as active crime scenes across four cases bundled here. They start with the Tollund Man, an Iron Age bog body so well preserved he looks asleep, then move to Otzi the Iceman, found frozen in the Alps more than 5,000 years after he was killed. A third case examines the Rosemarkie Man, a skeleton pulled from a sea cave in Scotland during the era of the Picts, with the team reenacting the attack to narrow down suspects among a sea raider, a pagan priest, and a rival leader. The final episode takes them to Verona to reopen the death of Cangrande della Scala, a 14th-century warlord long assumed to have died of natural causes. Each segment pairs forensic analysis, isotope testing, and wound reconstruction with a real investigator's procedural instincts, treating burial sites and museum remains the way a detective treats a body found last night.
