The Golden Girl of UK television. Britain's Sunflower. The girl next door who was a staple in British households live on the BBC. No one expected she would become the center of a murder mystery that has lasted nearly two decades. From a brutal slaying in broad daylight to the years-long fight for answers, her family, friends, and colleagues could never have imagined that they would be making the same calls for justice she once made on her television program. This week’s episode is The Unsolved Murder of Jill Dando - Part 1.
