Sophie Toscan du Plantier: Could a new DNA technique finally identify her killer?

Could new technology help to finally reveal who killed Sophie Toscan du Plantier?  After prime suspect Ian Bailey’s death last year, Sophie's uncle Jean-Pierre Gazeau said their family would never get the truth.  But now a Garda cold case team has used new technology, called M-Vac, to harvest DNA from items recovered at the West Cork crime scene. We talk to Jared Bradley, the man behind M-Vac, about how it has helped US investigators to crack decades-old cases.  But first, Southern correspondent Barry Roche shares what we know about progress in the du Plantier case.
