S32 E1: Luck, Or Something Like It | Sea of Lies

The podcast episode "Sea of Lies" from CBC's Uncover begins with a fisherman and his son discovering a body in their net off the coast of Brixham, England. The body, dressed in everyday clothes and wearing a Rolex watch, is reported to the authorities, leading to an investigation. Detectives Clenaghan and McDonald struggle to identify the body, eventually tracing the Rolex to a man named R.J. Platt. Their investigation leads them to Essex, where they discover Platt had told people he was moving to France. A seemingly routine visit by detective Redman to Platt's acquaintance, David Davis, takes a surprising turn when neighbors identify Davis as Ron Platt, who lives with a younger wife and owns a boat, setting the stage for a deeper mystery.
