In 2011 an incomplete skeleton was found at a derelict property in Auckland by a demolition crew tasked with dismantling the buildings on site. 

It took police months to work out who the remains belonged to - and then they had to work out who had killed the young man, and why. 

In this episode of A Moment In Crime, journalist and host Anna Leask looks back at the grisly case and how the police finally got the man responsible.
