Cold Trace - True Crime Stories posted three documentaries this week, with the investigation into Libby Squire's murder drawing the largest audience. Its most revealing evidence is almost invisible: diatoms, microscopic algae analysed on her clothing to help establish where she entered the water.

The upload presents an episode of Killer at the Crime Scene, combining police accounts with testimony from Libby's parents, Lisa and Russell. Their public appeal gives the investigation its human centre. "We just want Libby home," Russell says. Later, forensic ecologist Dr Rosie Everett explains the evidence connecting the water entry point to Oak Road playing fields.

The documentary has reached about 177,000 views and is also the channel's busiest video right now. It ends with Lisa's campaigning for greater awareness of non-contact sexual offences and the importance of intervening before offending escalates.

Elsewhere, an episode of 999: Killer on the Line examines Louise Evans's murder through an emergency call and accounts from people who knew her. The week's third upload, from Killer Britain, follows the investigation into David Clark's death, including a confession captured by a home security camera years later. October's Reported Missing episode about a father disappearing after a barbecue also remains among the channel's most active uploads.

The channel added subscribers and more than a million views over the week, the largest weekly viewing gain among its nearby true-crime and court channels. Today's viewing is nevertheless below its usual daily level. That combination leaves Cold Trace with a growing audience and a week whose strongest new documentary centres both a family's account and the painstaking work of investigators.
