Tracie Andrews always dreamed of being famous. Now her dream is becoming a nightmare.
In December 1996, Tracie walks into a police station in Worcestershire as a traumatised victim and the sole witness to her fiancé’s murder. Twenty-five-year-old Lee Harvey has been killed on a dark country lane following what appears to be a terrifying road-rage attack. Tracie is injured, shaken, and desperate for justice.
She tells police they were chased by another car driving aggressively. When both vehicles stop, a confrontation erupts. The driver backs away, but the passenger approaches and launches a brutal attack. The murderous stranger Tracie describes as having “staring eyes” vanishes into the night, leaving her beaten on the road with her dying fiancé.
As the investigation unfolds, Tracie’s account becomes the foundation of the case and her image becomes inseparable from the story. Media attention explodes. Press conferences and headlines transform her into a blonde bombshell figure of public sympathy, a recognisable face attached to a national fear. Her testimony is replayed, analysed, and consumed, turning a grieving fiancée into a cultural fixation.
But as detectives revisit timelines, cross-check statements, and test forensic evidence, doubt begins to creep in. Small inconsistencies grow harder to ignore. Interviews shift in tone. The enquiry pivots. Slowly, the woman who entered the station as a witness finds herself at the centre of suspicion.
Starring Emma Rigby and written and directed by Grant Armour, Suspect: The Road Rage Killer is a gripping psychological crime thriller told through first-hand accounts, police records, archive transcripts, and reconstructed memories. Immersing the viewer in the pivotal hours of a murder investigation and witnessing Tracie’s transformation from victim to suspect. This tense drama explores how truth fractures under pressure, and how memory, trauma and the desire for control can distort reality.
The project is scheduled for release in 2026.
