Retrieved 7 October 2017.For series creator Tobias Lindholm, The Investigation on the BBC wasn’t a story about the perpetrator, but a retelling of the hard work the police and divers spent trying to solve the case.

Writing in The Guardian, Lindholm said :“I started to think there was a different kind of story here, not just another tale of a ‘fascinating’ man who killed a woman. We could talk about society and a justice system that actually works, rather than humanising the perpetrator.
