In this final episode of Death On The Farm - the community is still battling for a different verdict. We hear how the police are conducting a forensic review, which may or may not reveal new clues. But patience amongst the locals is wearing thin... and many fear that the opportunity to clear Griff's name has come and gone.
But perhaps a modern day expert can find new clues from within the original police report. Dr Brett Lockyer is a Home Office Pathologist - who has studied hundreds of crime scenes and unexplained deaths. His analysis of the scene at Ffynnon Samson, and the events which took place there, differs from the conclusion police came to at the time. What's more - there is documented evidence which he believes could offer a very different sequence of events, and the presence of a third party.
But will the community rest easy with this new information coming to light? Or will they remain in a state of limbo - until the police offer can offer an official response? For Huw Absolom, Huw Gibby, and for everyone in Llangolman, they won't stop fighting to change the course of justice, or to clear the name of one of their own.
Death On the Farm is narrated by Bettrys Jones. It's produced by What's The Story Sounds for BBC Wales
