In 1996, fishermen pulled the body of a man out of the English Channel. An inscription on his Rolex watch led police to believe he was Ronald Platt, who according to his friend, David Davis, had left the UK for France to work as a TV repairman. Though the particulars of how Platt wound up in the sea remained unclear, investigators were ready to close the case. They just needed to retrieve some of his belongings from Davis’s home. But when a detective accidentally knocked on the wrong door, the neighbor gave some information that turned the case on its head.
The latest season of the CBC Podcasts series “Uncover: Sea of Lies” looks into the case of a deadly conman who was among Interpol’s top fugitives. Host Sam Mullins from “Wild Boys” walks us through the investigation’s many twists and turns to see how a nearly perfect crime came undone.
OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "UNCOVER: SEA OF LIES" BEGIN IN THE FINAL TEN MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
