It is almost fifty year since the bodies of Griff and Patti Thomas were found in their remote farmhouse in Llangolman, Pembrokeshire. And yet - exactly what happened to them, and who was responsible, is a question which still hangs over the community. Because there is the official police version of events. And then there is the other version. This series from BBC Wales examines the case in detail. It takes listeners back to 1976, via first hand testimony from the people who refuse to forget what they saw. And it puts the evidence from the case back under the microscope. After nearly half a century, could the community finally get the justice they've been campaigning for?
When a postman makes a grim discovery in the course of his morning rounds, the shockwaves are felt far and wide. This series begins in 1976, with the memories of Nigel Rossiter, the postman who saw things he wished he hadn't seen. He was still learning the ropes, as a postman in the rural Pembrokeshire village of Llangolman. But that December day would change pretty much everything around here. We hear how the events of the next hours, days and weeks, would leave a community first in fear, and then in disbelief, as they learned the identity of the victims, and began to wonder who could be responsible. As the ripples of the crime, and the investigation start to spread - can anyone make sense of what's happened? Are there clues which could make anything clearer? This is the first episode of a six-part series which examines this case, exploring if justice was ever served, and telling the story of a community who won't let the case fade away.

By the end 1976, the community in Llangolman was still waiting for answers. Police officers had taken over the village, conducting their investigation into the deaths of Griff and Patti Thomas. Their work included building up a picture of their victims - learning their habits, understanding their relationship as siblings, and asking who was set to benefit from their death. And they scour the crime scene, looking for the clues and evidence which might help them to understand exactly what happened, and who was responsible. But as more information emerges, clarity remains hidden. And there's no stopping the rumour mill which is in overdrive. This episode chronicles those events from early 1977. And it tells the story of the investigation and how it was reported by local media. By the end, there's an alarming new theory which threatens to derail everything the community believed to be true.Narrated by Bettrys Jones Produced by What's The Story Sounds
