Summary

Dan heads to Sandwich in Kent to meet Blaise and Jenny, Peta’s eldest brother and sister-in-law. He hears where Peta got her stoicism from and learns that Blaise was never told that the FBI failed to find the graves. Back in the States, Detective Amy Crosby hands over files that contain a vital clue to what happened on the Justin B – and raise the possibility of there being two more victims, ‘the Vikings’ Meanwhile, Annie finds the Bombero who pulled the bodies from the water in ’78. What he tells her only leaves us asking more questions - and there’s a troubling inconsistency that clashes with Vince and Russell’s account. The episode ends with a startling breakthrough that gives us hope we could actually locate the graves of Chris and Peta that the FBI failed to find.

0:37.4

were killed in Guatemala in 1978 by Silas Duane, Boston. Boston was arrested 38 years later after his two sons

0:45.8

came forward to say they had witnessed the whole thing. Now that last part of course was

0:51.3

the first to unravel from that very first phone call with Vince, it was clear that he'd actually been trying for years to get people to listen.

1:01.0

I even tried calling Scotland Yard and that went nowhere. So now we had a big question to answer. Why did it take so long?

1:10.0

The other big shake-up happened when Dan and I met Lexi Nagin, Boston's public defender.

were actually those of Kristen Peter.

1:28.7

And she presented this with a potential motive and method for Vince and Russell Boston to frame their father.

1:35.0

So suddenly we had an even bigger question

1:38.0

did Silas Twain Boston really kill Peter and Chris?

1:42.0

And we've made some progress in answering that.

1:44.4

We've spoken to his half-sister Arthine. She said he was a violent man and
