Episode 3 - Brighton Rock

I’ve received the Death Certificate for Michael Sterling Dean and that’s the key to find out how important he is to the Gentleman of Heligoland investigation and also to an historic missing persons case in Toronto, Canada from 1991. But, in a new development, something has been troubling us about the evidence that is in the public domain. Something’s not quite right about it………..

The Mysterious Case of the Gentleman of Heligoland

In July 1994, the body a man was fished out of the North Sea, near the German Island of Heligoland. Dressed smartly and with a complete absence of identifying information, the body was simply named ”The Gentleman”. Nearly thirty years later the body is still unnamed and unclaimed. And with injuries that suggested foul play, his killers have got away with murder. From the team that brought you The Mysterious Case of Fred the Head, join us as we take a deep dive into one of Europe’s coldest cases, and try to piece together what might have happened. Uncovering new clues, new possibilities and, just maybe, the truth.
