BBC viewers say ‘questions remain’ over ‘insane’ true crime documentary

It's a truly chilling case

We've been far from short of true crime watches in the past few weeks.

From Netflix's harrowing Baby Reindeer to Alibi's chilling psychological thriller mini-series - let's just say any true crime lovers out there have been in for a proper treat as of recent.

And it's clear the binge-worthy viewing material is far from drying up as there's one doc based on an eerie real-life story, which is leading many BBC viewers to reckon that questions still remain unanswered.

The four-part series, which hit our screens last summer, delves into the complex case behind the mystery that surrounds the discovery of a lifeless body on a Scottish beach.

Back in 2005, a 30-year-old Swedish woman who lived in Edinburgh, Annie Börjesson, was found dead on Prestwick Beach.

Clearly fascinated by Annie’s story, Scottish journalist, Hazel Martin, investigates the case in the doc.

"I was only 13 when Annie died but the story of her death has always stayed with me," she explained. "Many people, her friends and family included, believe that Annie was actually murdered. The question is – could they be right?"

The doc sees Hazel piece together the 'strange series of events' leading up to Annie’s death, revealing 'disturbing differences' in the forensic analysis and coming up against 'a wall of secrecy and classified documentation'.

Yep, the series is none other than Body on the Beach: What Happened to Annie? Check out the official trailer here:

Fans of the programme have since rushed to social media to share their praise with one X user writing: "The show Body on the Beach on BBC is actually insane!!!"

A second penned: "Body on the Beach: What Happened to Annie? BBC 3. There are so many unanswered questions about Annie’s death that surely a reinvestigation is indicated? What do you think?"

"I’m watching Body on the Beach: What Happened to Annie It’s on bbc… really interesting case! So many unanswered questions," echoed a third.

While a fourth quipped: "BBC Scotland's Body on the Beach revealed some new angles on the death of Annie Börjesson on Prestwick beach in 2005.

Fans reckon that questions still remain in the harrowing case surrounding Annie Börjesson's mysterious death. (BBC)

"Was reminded of the long and tenacious attention paid to the case by the late Ken Roy and the @ScottishReview. Questions remain."

And a final X user urged: "You need to watch Body on the Beach on BBC iPlayer and follow journalist @hazelreporting who investigates the cold case of Annie Borjesson."

Well, I know what I'll be rattling through this weekend.

Body on the Beach: What Happened to Annie? is currently available to stream on BBC iPlayer now.
