To those talking about fingerprints, DNA and so on, I should remind them that Craig Myers was protected by law from having any details about him from being revealed once he had been released with a new identity. Even if there was any kind of forensic evidence about him, it wouldn't have been accessible by Anna Craig or anyone else for that matter.
There is a legal precedent for this in the UK in the case of the two murderers of Jamie Bulger; both of them, being minors at the time of the commission of the crime, were eventually released on license as young men, with fresh identities to protect them against revenge attacks. This doesn't happen that often in Britain, but it DOES happen in extreme circumstances.
That said (thus hopefully closing what some people seem to be claiming is a plot hole), this drama isn't so much about crime as about coming to terms, both for the criminal and the victim's mother, with the consequences of that crime, and as such I found it both moving and convincing: 8/10.
