There was nothing that kind of smacked me in the face as being, this is suspicious. He had the watch on, so that would kind of rule out a robbery. There was a cut on his head. But when you consider what he's just been through, he's been dragged along, you know, the bottom of a seabed. And he was fairly clean other than that. There was no signs of him being involved in an altercation.

Well, old-fashioned detective work. So you start by going through all the missing persons listed in the Devon and Cornwall police, and you try and rule those out, and then you go further afield, and you look at missing persons in the south-west, then you go further afield and look at missing persons in the south.
