Ötzi: Murder on the Mountain

It's September 1991, two hikers in the Alps believe they’ve stumbled across the body of a climber who’d lost his way. He lies face-down in the ice. His arm caught awkwardly beneath him. A shoulder protruding from melting snow.

Police are alerted. Recovery teams arrive. And then someone notices the axe. Not iron. But Copper. At least five thousand years old. This man didn’t die in the mountains by accident. Someone killed him and the frozen Alps kept the evidence.
