Vera Season 7 Episode 2, Dark Angel aired 3/26/2017

      The body of a young man and drug addict Nathan Weaver is found face down in a rural river area by Thurston Woods.  The victim was murdered and Vera wonders why he had not sold a valuable ring.  Was the ring used to finance his habit?  Tracing the victim’s identity proves to be difficult for Vera and her team.  DCI Vera Stanhope is forced to delve back into an old case to unmask the killer.

      Nathan had briefly worked at Brian Bennick’s food factory and he fathered a child by Kelly.  She is another addict he met at Father O’Brien’s needle exchange program.  The night Nathan died, he had been at a deserted farmhouse.  Several years earlier Eddie Thurston was arrested for murdering his wife at this farmhouse and he is a suspect in this case.
