WALES TONIGHT THEME MUSIC Good evening.
We are live in Pembrokeshire, where there have been
dramatic developments in two of Wales's
most baffling crimes - the murders of Richard
and Helen Thomas, and Peter and Gwenda Dixon. And now, decades on, these two double murders
are being reinvestigated. Detective Superintendent
Steve Wilkins is the man leading
this reinvestigation. Developments in DNA analysis have
revolutionised cold case reviews. As a team, we have brought
these processes to bear on these two investigations and they have had
a significant impact. We believe that somebody watching
this programme tonight may know who is responsible
for these terrible crimes. And I'm appealing to them, for the sake of the victims
and their families, to please come forward. And do you think
it's the same local man responsible for all four murders? I do believe that, Jonathan. Thanks to the advances
in DNA forensic science, we are now
in a much stronger position to catch the person responsible

Good evening.
We are live in Pembrokeshire,
00:00:08.999 --> 00:00:10.238
where there have been
dramatic developments
00:00:10.239 --> 00:00:12.679
in two of Wales's
most baffling crimes -
00:00:12.068 --> 00:00:15.159
the murders of Richard
and Helen Thomas,
00:00:15.016 --> 00:00:16.838
and Peter and Gwenda Dixon.
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:18.064
And now, decades on,
00:00:18.068 --> 00:00:21.358
these two double murders
are being reinvestigated.
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:23.398
Detective Superintendent
Steve Wilkins
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:26.068
is the man leading
this reinvestigation.
00:00:26.072 --> 00:00:29.878
Developments in DNA analysis have
revolutionised cold case reviews.
00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.318
As a team, we have brought
these processes to bear
00:00:32.319 --> 00:00:33.798
on these two investigations
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.439
and they have had
a significant impact.
00:00:36.048 --> 00:00:39.838
We believe that somebody watching
this programme tonight
00:00:39.839 --> 00:00:42.479
may know who is responsible
for these terrible crimes.
00:00:42.048 --> 00:00:43.878
And I'm appealing to them,
00:00:43.879 --> 00:00:46.001
for the sake of the victims
and their families,
00:00:46.998 --> 00:00:47.639
to please come forward.
00:00:47.064 --> 00:00:49.838
And do you think
it's the same local man
00:00:49.839 --> 00:00:51.559
responsible for all four murders?
00:00:51.056 --> 00:00:53.199
I do believe that, Jonathan.
00:00:53.002 --> 00:00:56.001
Thanks to the advances
in DNA forensic science,
00:00:56.999 --> 00:00:57.599
we are now
in a much stronger position
00:00:57.006 --> 00:00:59.733
to catch the person responsible.
