Each 40-minute episode revisits a renowned British case — including Ben Needham, Joanna Yeates, Ben Field, Mahek Bukhari, Jane Andrews and Peter Tobin — with exclusive interviews and fresh revelations taking viewers beyond the headlines to the heart of the story. “20/20 Britain’s Most Notorious Crime Investigations” begins streaming Thursday, July 30, on Disney+ in the UK and Ireland and Disney+ and Hulu in the U.S.

• “Joanna Yeates: The Killer Next Door” (Episode 2): On a frozen Bristol night, a missing young woman’s walk home is captured on flickering CCTV. When her body is found, the hunt for a killer turns a quiet street into a labyrinth of suspicion, where the most dangerous person may be the one living next door.

• “Ben Field: Thou Shalt Not Kill” (Episode 3): The suspicious deaths of two elderly neighbors draw attention to a charming young churchwarden. When investigators uncover his attempts to use romance and religion to seduce them into signing over their estates, a race begins to discover whether he is a killer.

• “Jane Andrews: The Duchess & The Killer” (Episode 5): The British Royal Family is linked to scandal when a former aide goes on the run after her boyfriend is murdered. When police find her, she makes explosive allegations of abuse by him. Police delve into the couple’s secrets to ask if she murdered in cold blood? 

• “Mahek Bukhari: The TikTok Murders” (Episode 6): A chilling 999 call captures two men in their final moments during a deadly high-speed car chase. CCTV leads police to a viral mother-daughter TikTok duo, exposing dark family secrets, a deadly ambush plot and a ruthless obsession with image.
