05:49Welcome to Coulter Street

05:57He might have access although I'm sure he's left by now

09:42I
09:49What about golf
09:51Go
09:53See me playing golf. Actually, I can't diamond-cut jumper those silly little socks. You'd look quite nutty
09:59Too many rules and the mate tie your shirt into your trousers. I'd be in a school. No, I don't go
10:11Pottery and before you laugh, you've done correctly. It can be quite sexy. I don't think pottery qualifies as a hobby
10:18Isn't it a craft glass blowing? I
10:21Know you're taking the piss, but that wouldn't at least be interested
10:27So we run out of stairs
10:42Oh

10:56Neighbors stumbled on some mummified remains looking for a water leak
11:00Female according to the clothes hard to put a date on it
11:05Anything between two and five years as the current guesstimate
11:11On the back
11:15Didn't die in pain
11:17What?
11:18Our tax of attendants it'll fall forward
11:22Pills lay back to sleep never wake up. Yeah, maybe

14:34Markham Elaine and it was a shower
14:37What's happened?
14:39Can I ask if you've lived here long
14:42Four years, I guess
14:44There's only one occupied flat number five in that time. There was a girl Melissa
14:51Melissa young she in some sort trouble. She left years ago
14:58Do you remember roughly the last time you saw her I know it's early but if you could fire up the old gray matter
15:06Maybe a couple of Christmases back
15:10Kieran downstairs he had a drinks party. I remember I've been there
15:15After that
15:18She disappeared kind of
15:28So she
15:31What she comes up to the loft for some reason? It's a head unconscious perhaps dead
15:38The hatch will be open no one found her obscure from view someone calls out she doesn't answer they close it up
15:46What about the smell?
15:48December time be cold up here. No insulation on the roof quite airy
15:53Maybe you get a whiff of it on the top floor, but nothing below
15:56Let's make sure we're talking about the right person first. Hi, it's me. Can you check a misperforming?
16:03Melissa young
16:05Last known address flat five eight Coulthard Street. Thanks
16:15What have you got mild titillation
16:19I
16:34Take it outside. Yeah. Hello you take your inspector learn Harper. What do you want pig?
16:41Is that a grown-up home, how do you know say my flat property prices plus the spots from your tin bit of a giveaway
16:49Is this no one
16:53Where's mum and or dead work
16:57Can I trust you to pass this on be grateful if they could call what's this about?
17:01Well, one of your neighbors has discovered human remains in the loft body
17:06Serious what like a murder
17:08Serious what like a murder?
17:11I'm not sure
17:31Okay, then yeah, thanks for that Cheers
17:34She
17:36Wasn't reported missing after two years
17:41How's that possible?
17:44Maybe no one noticed she was gone
18:03I
18:20Interesting one the afternoon update on the police press line includes a
18:25Seriously decomposed body in a residential property
18:30seriously decomposed
18:32It's not a medical term, I think they meant to say severely sounds gruesome either way
18:40Okay, yeah, I'll play get on it you can do it yourself when you get home
18:46To
18:59Make sure customers
19:16Oh
19:38The police were here they stumbled on your dirty little secret Joe
19:41A body stashed in the loft. What are you talking about?
19:46Melissa and young born June 1980 own the flat outright inherited it from her mother who passed four years ago
20:07Melissa and young born June 1980
20:11Own the flat outright inherited it from her mother who passed four years ago
20:16no employment since
20:182005
20:19Utility bills all covered by direct debit. No brothers or sisters
20:22But yes to an aunt deceased and a solitary living cousin in Aberdeen very much living alone then
20:29Someone must have noticed that she wasn't around any longer
20:34No, sorry, I don't buy that you can have all the internets and headphones and home shopping you like people still interact with one another
20:42It's not a generational thing human nature we've searched online
20:46Networking sites and found nothing. Do we have anything that suggests this is an actual crime scene?
20:54Not without cause of death we have mummified remains so sorry to disappoint you
21:00But unless the pathologist comes up with a bullet hole, it's not a murder then. Why would that disappoint me?
21:06Because you're looking for an excuse to extend your leaving date
21:10Oh
21:11Please please don't leave not until you have solved this case for us
21:16Who is that even supposed to be?
21:39Thank
22:04You
22:06Evening Joe
22:09Oh
22:18Is it true
22:20They found a body
22:22Apparently so
22:23Awful business. What was the name again? Melissa, of course
22:29Melissa
22:32Now from under what happened to her
22:35I
22:36Met the new lot yet. No, I'd call round but dinner's on
22:43Are they nice? Yeah, I've only seen her. It's a pregnant
22:48interesting
22:49With any luck that might be enough to drive the lesbians away
23:00Peg it's me. Where the hell are you? It's dark
23:05I'll call me back with you. Let me know what time you'll be home
23:19Why don't you spin it wash machines spraying water everything's shit nothing works properly
23:35Oh, yeah, well I down I finish that I can't no bed
23:45That was my next job
24:04I
24:35Oh
24:44Hilarious bad taste. Yeah a little bit a little bit
24:53You look good in a mask
24:56That didn't sound right
25:02So
25:03Who was she?
25:06No one really, um, I moved in here a few months before she left well
25:15Apparently she didn't
25:17Leave but it's not really a story a neighbor decomposes in your loft for two years
25:24And that's not even worth half a page. No, it's tragic
25:28It is sad
25:30But I just I wouldn't say so public interest
25:37Tell me this isn't what I think it is
25:41That depends what you think it is. Are you worried about property prices by any chance?
25:46All right, well, that's not the reason I don't want to run it but if we if we did and it goes online
25:55If we look for a house together
25:57You know decent one
25:59Your place in this place combined
26:04We need as much as we could get
26:06You do realize that this is bordering on commitment
26:11Well, hey for you to die old man
26:13I
26:43I
27:13I
27:43I
27:45I
27:47I
28:11It's good of you to come in mr. Sellers, I would have been happy to come and visit you. It's a convenient time
28:16I'm on my way to work. It's not a problem. What's your profession teacher?
28:21maths
28:23I'm more on the English side myself
28:26different side of the brain apparently
28:28Some people can do both
28:30Not many if we can wrap this up in 20 minutes, I could still make assembly
28:36How long have you lived at number eight 15 years I
28:39Say you first met Melissa when she moved in and that was
28:442008 thereabouts. I knew her mother before that
28:49She inherited the flat I didn't have much time for the daughter
28:56How about your wife sorry he married no, I never learned
29:03Did Melissa have many visitors to the flat I'm in the basement she was at the very top if she had company then I
29:12Wouldn't have had them you must have seen her coming and going with people friends not that I can remember
29:19In three years
29:21All that time and no one even presses her buzzer. Perhaps no one liked her. That's quite a harsh statement. Mr. So why?
29:29Because we're not supposed to speak ill of the dead. I didn't like the girl
29:34And I don't see why I should pretend that I did just because she's gone. I
29:38Think everybody would agree that the house is greatly improved by her absence
29:48The problem we have here is that there's literally nothing to work with after a month of swelling the gases build up and the body just
29:55bursts open
29:57Everything on the inside ends up on the floor grace
30:02Entry wounds will typically be found in the stomach area. But as you can see, that's where she popped
30:07So she could have been stepped possible
30:10There's no bullet. So she wasn't shot
30:13strangled again
30:15Possible. There's no eyeballs to determine suffocation. We know she hit her head
30:20I had a good look but there's nothing on the skull. It might have cut her but it didn't crack her
30:25She was also on a repeat prescription for alprazolam four milligrams depression
30:31Anxiety you can't really OD on it, but mixed with a lot of alcohol it could get you into trouble
30:36Can we find out what was in her system?
30:39No soft tissue, you know toxicology report unless you can find something at a scene to steer me
30:45I'm not gonna be able to tell a coroner very much
30:47I
31:04Would do cheers
31:18Oh
31:21Mr. Sellers
31:23That's right
31:26Michael Jensen
31:28St. John's Secondary you taught me 2003. Oh, yes
31:32Yes
31:33Michael hello
31:36How the hell are you sir? I'm very well. Thank you. And you you you're delivering something
31:44I love it. We just moved in second floor. Oh, welcome
31:51You got the garden flat
31:54That's so cool
31:55We really wanted to go on the flat, but they're rare as rock and all shit
31:59Guess I just have to play my music so loud. It drives you out
32:06There's that face
32:10How I remember that face
32:13I've just scrubbed you sir. No, mr. Says Joe
32:17Which one is it? Whatever?
32:20Makes you most comfortable Michael. See you around Joe
32:25Not if you need anything, yeah
32:27I
32:57I
33:28I
33:31Know club shooting. Okay. I've got the same three names coming up time and time again now
33:37I'm gonna pull anyone in until we're done with the witness interview
33:40So that means cracking on with them all day if we need extra resources, you can ask for it. Let's just keep the pace up
33:47Right any other business?
33:49Well, it's the
33:52The body in the loft I thought we were handing that back to uniform it still feels a bit unanswered to me
33:59Most likely scenario right now is a suicide if you're going up into the loft to kill yourself
34:04You carry a length of rope. Don't you?
34:06She was on antidepressants and she should have been feeling better. Okay, what does the pathologist think?
34:12He can't point us either way. I just think it's worth having another look in the flat
34:17Maybe she died there and was moved up to the loft if we can prove that we have a murder
34:20Did you see the picture of her land? This woman was not carried up a ladder. I
34:26Still think there's a little work to do before we shut it down. I haven't spoken to all the neighbors yet
34:30Then you're a tyrant. It's your last day
34:33No one's gonna give you anything else to do so you can either
34:35I don't know go out and buy everyone a nice tray of cupcakes or you can scratch right over this till five o'clock
34:41It's your choice
34:51Oh
34:55Moss flat too. Yeah. Yeah, that's right detective. It's better Len Harper. I gave my card to your son
35:01I think it's about Melissa young
35:05Why don't you go ahead I'll see you there sure. Yeah, you go on
35:12Come on in detective
35:21Have you been here long
35:23August 2010 I
35:26Separated from my wife
35:29And I needed somewhere with two bedrooms. I have a son Adam. He was 14 at the time
35:40So you knew Melissa then she was very much around when you moved in I
35:44Met her a few times
35:47She was quite shy
35:49You ever see anyone with a friend a boyfriend
35:52Not that I remember. I'm afraid I'm not the most sociable of people either
35:58You know, I work I come home. I go back to work
36:02You live to work or work to live. Isn't that say something like that? Yeah, we go in the loft. Mr. Moss
36:07loft
36:09I rarely venture beyond the ground floor
36:12I
36:16Used to be a crime correspondent
36:19Dealt with your guys all the time
36:21cynical bunch
36:23Usually a lot younger than you though. No disrespect
36:27untaken
36:28So you must be treating this as a murder whenever there's a body we get called out
36:35I mean if there's no evidence, no suspicious circumstances, don't you then pass it on only when I'm satisfied
36:43Oh
36:56It's you detective
36:58There was a locksmith here earlier. They fixed a lot. I have the new keys
37:03Could I leave you one? Oh, it's good to have a key holder on site. Of course
37:08Come on up
37:12I
37:19What are you looking for I'm not sure if I'm honest
37:30You know what's missing computer young woman living alone no computers that sound right I
37:39Don't know maybe not
37:43Don't know those boxes those things you give you Wi-Fi a router
37:49No
37:51No mobile phone just makes it hard to find anyone who even you are I
37:57Wish I could help you, but we only moved in this week
38:01That's right, of course you did who do you buy from
38:10That's his email and Skype address

50:33Already uniform just gonna ignore it if they've got any sense. Yeah, no one's gonna kick up a fuss about this woman
50:40right
50:41if you think that's
50:43You've left the force. You shouldn't really be here then. You know that right? You're retired
50:50Sorry
51:02I
51:04Know
51:07Mr. Webb, my name is Len Harper apologies for contacting you out of the blue like this
51:12You formerly lived at flat for number eight Coulthard Street. Is that correct?
51:18Is it that obvious
51:21People don't actually talk like that
51:2332 years service with the force, but no accusations. I promise it's regarding a
51:29former sorry ex
51:31Neighbor of yours Melissa young. Yeah, man. What about her? I'm afraid she's passed
51:38Right
51:46Sorry, it's one second
51:48I
52:00Was proving a bit tricky to determine at the moment
52:02I spoke to some of the other residents in the block, but they couldn't offer much help. Yeah, but why'd you say that?
52:12As far as I was concerned they were the reason she moved out
52:15I'm not so sure she ever did move out. Mr. Webb
52:19Her remains were discovered in the loft. She'd been there for quite a while
52:30What was she doing up there? Well, that's what I was hoping you could help me. Did anyone ever have reason to go out there?
52:37Yeah
52:38Well every once in a while someone would try and store bits and pieces up there, but you'll always put a stop to that Joe
52:44Sellers basement flat son of a bitch
52:47You open your window to waiting sticking out through your door
52:50Came here to bust up over the loft
52:53Kieran Moss ground floor
53:07Did Melissa have any friends in the area that you knew of
53:10Relationship regular visitors. She wasn't what you'd call outgoing. If you talk to her in the stairs, she was lovely
53:16She'd invite you in do anything for you
53:19But she wouldn't exactly
53:21What's the word?
53:24She wouldn't initiate anything
53:27Do you know what I mean by that?
53:30Well think I'm beginning to understand
53:41It's con
53:44Detective Hopper, I'm sorry to bother you, but I appear to have come out without the keys for Melissa's flat. That's okay. You can use mine
54:10I
54:40I
55:10I
55:24Moving in
55:27Kind of yeah
55:30We're not Mary's daughter by any chance
55:34Melissa here. Hey, I'm Richard. I
55:36I know she'll be pleased to see you
56:06I
56:36I
56:38I
57:03Were you playing out then?
57:08Oh
57:38Oh
57:40You
58:08We all present an image to the world
58:10Most of us smile and say everything's fine when people ask especially when it's not I'm sorry if we can't help you any further
58:18Didn't want to threaten anybody
58:21What if it was someone from here from one of the flats why would one of her neighbors want to kill her
58:32What remains continues at 9 next Sunday go online for an exclusive interview with Stephen McIntosh who plays Kieran
