Summary

On Easter Sunday 2015, experienced skydiver and new mum Victoria Cilliers undertook a parachute jump, a gift from her husband, British army sergeant Emile Cilliers. During the skydive both her standard and reserve parachutes failed to open. Victoria plummeted 4,000 feet to the ground at Netheravon Airfield in Wiltshire. Miraculously she survived. Whilst recovering, police arrived at her door. Someone had tampered with her parachute. Laura interviews Detective Constable Maddy Hennah who was the Officer in the Case (OIC) of the Cilliers investigation and Robert Murphy Award-winning TV crime correspondent who covered the case.
