About this listen
A woman disappears on her way to work. A man is convicted of her murder.
But this case is different. Though the police believe they have the right man, key components of the prosecution case are missing. There is no body of the victim, no witnesses to the crime, no confession and no physical evidence: no DNA, CCTV or murder weapon.
Journalists and TV producers Darrell Brown and Sophie Ellis examine the extraordinary case of Suzanne Pilley, a woman who vanished whilst on her way to work in Edinburgh in 2010. The pair has spent two years investigating the case and speaking exclusively to David Gilroy - the man who was found guilty of killing Suzanne and disposing of her body. He is currently serving a life sentence in a Scottish jail.
But Gilroy says he is innocent: victim of a miscarriage of justice.
Darrell and Sophie are not so sure. They explore Gilroy’s claims that the investigation and trial were mishandled, that key pieces of evidence were not presented in court and witnesses were not contacted.
The pair uncover startling information, not heard in court, that might have changed the minds of the jury. And they shine a light on aspects of the Scottish criminal justice system that might be keeping an innocent man behind bars.
A What’s the Story Films production for Audible.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10,486
It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.

Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

In December 2017 the famous porn star August Ames committed suicide in a park in the Conejo Valley. It happened a day after she’d been the victim of a pile-on, via Twitter, by fellow porn professionals - punishment for her tweeting something deemed homophobic. A month later, August’s husband, Kevin, connected with Jon Ronson to tell the story of how Twitter bullying killed his wife. What neither Kevin nor Ronson realized was that Ronson would soon hear rumors and secrets hinting at a very different story - something mysterious and unexpected and terrible.

Without John C. Houbolt, a mid-level engineer at NASA, Apollo 11 would never have made it to the moon. Top NASA engineers on the project, including Werner Von Braun, strongly advocated for a single, huge spacecraft to travel to the moon, land, and return to Earth. It's the scenario used in 1950s cartoons and horror movies about traveling to outer space. Houbolt had another idea: Lunar Orbit Rendezvous. LOR would link two spacecraft in orbit while the crafts were travelling at 3,600 miles an hour around the moon. His plan was ridiculed and considered unthinkable.

Compelling and well done
The overall story leaves so many questions about judicial systems all over the world. Amazing how this man is convicted without any forensic evidence except he is unlikeable and was having an affair.

First Audible Original I've tried and liked.
Author decided to revisit a murder conviction where there was absolutely no conclusive forensic evidence presented whatsoever. At the trial, the prosecution relied solely on implication via circumstantial evidence. Difficult to see how this meets the Reasonable Doubt level required?
I hadn't realized until now that unlike the rest of the Western world, Scotland requires a simple majority for a criminal conviction! Also uniquely, they have a third verdict of Not Proven, which seemed a total no-brainer in this case to me, but I suppose some jurors just did not want to see the defendant walk away on what they saw as a technicality.
My take away from this was that he was quite ill-served by his defense team. When the author's challenged the defendant regarding the prosecution's allegations of events, he sounded plausible enough to me in his refutations.
There were one or two places where I kind of wish they'd got on with it, finding those somewhat digressions, but overall I'm really glad that I listened.

A documentary of crime
A documentary style of writing.
At times the narrator's heavy accent for different characters was hard to understand.

Body of Proof
This is a detail study of a case where a man is sentenced to prison yet there is no body, no witness, no physical evidence anywhere ... yet he is sentenced to prison. I find a book extremely interesting and how Faith sometimes is involved in pending evidence on “maybe” someone innocent.

Misleading title!
While the narration was good all the way around, I have a problem within the story itself in which the title is misleading because the body was never found. Also, what is the point in telling a story that doesn't really have an ending? This is unfinished and it would have been better to have given us a closing and then leave us wondering how lives continue.

Entertaining once it gets going
Like the podcast "Serial", this is set up as investigative crime journalism by people who are in no way impartial and are only partially qualified for the task. If taken as entertainment, Body of Proof is pretty good after the first few chapters.
The audio quality is extremely hit or miss which can be frustrating. And the first few chapters, which are supposed to hook you in, are really quite dull. As the story goes on, it's easy to listen to just one more episode and continue until you're done. Along the way, many interesting questions are asked, even if the answers we get are extraordinarily one-sided.
I got this as a free audible original so I'm pleased enough with my experience. I'd recommend it to others if you can get it for free. Otherwise, skip it.

Riveting look at the modern justice system
Two journalists present a multi-chapter documentary which attempts to provide an unbiased assessment of a possible miscarriage of justice. A woman goes missing, last seen in broad daylight on a busy street in a major city—no body or forensic evidence of a murder is ever discovered. Her coworker, a married man with whom she had previously had a relationship, is convicted of her murder and sent to prison entirely based on circumstantial evidence. He still contends his innocence 9 years later as these journalists investigate possible flaws with the investigation, his legal defense strategy, and justice system as a whole. It’s an uncomfortable story told well and without bias, letting you draw your own conclusion at the end.

I lived it! I do wish there was updates or a better outcome for the ending

interesting and sad
the overall story was very good. It was just sad and learned that there are innocent people possibly still in jail due to the way the system works in Scotland. I kept going between guilty and not guilty and still am unsure of what I would have said if I had been a jury member if all of the additional facts were released.
