Annie B枚rjesson was discovered face down on Prestwick Beach in Scotland nearly 18 years ago, having been due to fly to her home in Sweden the day before.

The most likely cause of death was deemed to be suicide, but the 30-year-old's devastated family doubted that conclusion and quickly came to an altogether different explanation as to how Annie died - murder.

So what's the truth?

Sky News' multi-award-winning podcast series StoryCast investigates with What Happened To Annie? - a multi-part investigation into the mysterious life and death of Annie Börjesson.

The podcast won gold at the New York Festivals Radio 2020 Awards for Best Serialised Podcast and is now the subject of a new BBC documentary.

A talented linguist and musician, Annie left her apartment in Edinburgh on 3 December 2005 with the intention of catching an evening flight to Sweden from Prestwick Airport that evening.

But after travelling for more than 80 miles, she failed to board her flight.

On 4 December 2005, she was discovered face down on Prestwick Beach. Beside her body, police found a bag containing her passport, a wallet and some clothes.

Within days, her post-mortem concluded the most likely cause of death as drowning and Scottish authorities informed the family that Annie had died by suicide.

But having had no history of self harm or mental illness, her mother Guje could not reconcile her daughter making an agonising walk into the sea less than a mile from an airport she had intended to fly home from.

Annie left no note. There was, say the family, no case for suicide.

And as the weeks and months wore on, the family began to unearth a series of troubling discoveries.

In the beginning it was simple things; how did Annie's bag wash right up beside her body on the beach?

Then it emerged that the London funeral company that organised the transport of her body to Sweden had raised the alarm over heavy bruising discovered on Annie's body - bruising that did not feature in the autopsy report.

Before long, the family were questioning if Annie had even drowned at Prestwick Beach.

Had her body and bag been placed there?

When the family took the investigation into their own hands, they quickly discovered an alternative explanation as to how she died.

It pointed not to suicide, but to murder, cover-up and one of the world's most notorious intelligence agencies.
