Episode 1 - The 12 Apostles When the bodies of Trevor Buchanan and Lesley Howell are found in a garage in the quiet coastal village of Castlerock, Northern Ireland - police believe it is a suicide pact. While witness statements show their partners lied to police and there are a number of red flags at the scene - a coroner’s inquest raises no further concerns about their deaths.
