After the police surgeon had taken his notes, the body was loaded into the coroner's van. And for the first time in many hours, it was just Craig and his dad on the boat again. But the moment was brief, as they noticed a figure approaching.

From small town Canada to coastal England, this is a story that spans continents and decades and centers on the ruthless villain who almost got away with it. So who is he? And how was he finally caught? Right now, here's the first episode of Sea of Lies. This story begins with a miracle. I don't know what else to call it. And when I say miracle, I don't mean it in the religious sense.

Every night at 8 p.m., the bells of All Saints Church chime the tune to Abide With Me. The hymn was written right here in Brixham in the early 19th century by a vicar whose flock was comprised almost entirely of fishermen. the chimes are thought to call home all the souls of the men lost at sea.

Which is to say that Brixham and the Devon Coast is a place where finding the body of an unidentified man in the ocean is not necessarily a rare occurrence. It's a holiday town, so swimmers get into trouble, leisure boats capsize, fishermen get caught in storms. And Stone's Throw Away is Barry Head, a sea cliff well-known locally as a place where people go to take their own lives.
Someone Knows Something

With the body now safely in the hands of the coroner and Devon police, they don't know who they have, and they don't know what they have. But lying in their mortuary was the key to unraveling a nearly perfect crime that spanned years and continents. An unimaginable web of lies was about to come undone. I'm Sam Mullins, and this is Sea of Lies from CBC's Uncover.
Someone Knows Something

Episode one, luck or something like it. Since Detective Ian Clenahan was both young and new in town, he'd been partnered up with a veteran of Devon Police.
Someone Knows Something

Bill is measured with his words in a way that only someone with 30 years of interrogation experience could be. We interviewed him in his purpose-built bird-watching space, where he patiently sits, confident the birds will come to him.

After two days passed without anything, MacDonald and Clenahan decided that it was time to take action. So if you were the two guys tasked with trying to learn the name of an idealist man plucked from the bottom of the ocean, Where do you even begin?
Someone Knows Something

Lacking readily available information from out in the world, the Devon Police naturally were very interested to learn if the results of the post-mortem had a story to tell.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
The pathologists listed the body as male, 5'9", brown hair, receding, possibly in his 40s. Estimated time in the water? One week. Both noted the tattoo on his hand. But either because it was old or it warped in the seawater, neither pathologist could make out what the tattoo was of. There was bruising on the right hip and on the outside of the knee on the same side of the body.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
But it wasn't obvious when the bruising occurred. One thing that was obvious, though.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
And as for the gash on the back of the head, while the first pathologist thought it consistent with being trawled along the seabed and the roughs, the other advised that it was inconclusive what had caused the gash and that they should keep an open mind. But really, there wasn't anything new to go on after the autopsy.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
And after devoting police resources for a few weeks, it felt like it was time to scale down the effort. If no one cared enough about whoever this poor soul was to come forward with new information, there was little more the cops could do. This was looking like it would be recorded forever as an unidentified person.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
And that would have been the end of it. But it wasn't. Because I'm telling you, luck or something like it was leading them somewhere. The thing that saved this person from being forever unknown came in the form of a suggestion, really, from one of the staff members of the coroner. A casual suggestion that might sound familiar to you.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Because one of the two men in the autopsy, Robin Little, had a chance conversation with a friend just afterwards.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
At least I don't think I do. I mean it in the sense of luck. Luck is a spectrum. There are lucky breaks, flukes, good fortune. But then there's a tier of luck that is so far beyond the parameters of chance that it feels divine.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Oh sure, it doesn't sound like such a bad idea when the coroner officer says it.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
No one who handled the watch saw the serial number at first because it's only visible when you take the pin out of the band to expose the side of the casing. So Robin Little sent the watch to Rolex.

Curiously, Harrogate is about the opposite end of England from where the body was found. Devon is down in the southwest, and Harrogate is way up in the central north.

It was only seven letters, but R.J. Platt rolled off the tongue a lot better than the bloke from the sea. He had a name now. It was a start. Clenahan spent the week typing the name into every tool at his disposal, checking registries, council tax receipts, and state records. And he found an address linked to a Ron J. Platt in Essex. Geographically, Essex isn't near Devon either.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
It's way on the Belgium-Netherlands facing side of England. So they needed a man on the ground in Essex to head to this flat. And they found one.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
So Redmond headed out, and when he arrived at the place, he was able to confirm that Platt had once lived in one of the flats there, but had moved out a while back. Redmond contacted the local tax department about the address, and they told him that Platt had written on his termination notice, I'm no longer liable for property tax. I'm moving to France. Platt was moving to France?
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
This detail would light up the imaginations of Clenehan and MacDonald when they heard it. Because a move to France could conceivably place Ron Platt on a boat in the English Channel where his body was found. But the most useful bit of information that Redmond was able to find in Chelmsford came when he spoke to Platt's old landlord. They did give me the name of the chap who stood guarantor for him.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
And while the story that I'm about to tell you features the whole spectrum of luck, coincidences, right places, wrong times, million to one shots connecting, there's no story at all, no truth, no justice, without the thing that happens first. The thing so far beyond the brackets of likelihood, it was a miracle. Because a father and son who weren't even looking accidentally found something.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
When he applied to rent the place, Ron Platt needed to provide a reference. So he gave one. Mr. Davis. David Davis. In an investigation in which they had failed to find a single person involved in Ron's life who actually knew Ron, learning the name and mobile number of a character reference felt like gold.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
And since this Davis person lived nearby in Essex, Peter Redman was the one who called him up.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
And Davis obviously wanted to know what this was all regarding. So Redman had to come out with it on the phone.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Redman said that if it was okay with him, he would like to ask Davis some questions about Ron in person. And Davis said, sure.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
After their chat, Redman told him that his colleagues, who were the ones investigating Ron's death in Devon, would be contacting him as well. And they would be able to give him more information about the circumstances of their finding his friend. The first time Ian Clenahan called David Davis, there was no answer.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
But then, as so often happens in British police procedurals, there was a high-stakes scene involving tea.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
David Davis began telling Clenahan the story of how he and Ron Platt became friends.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
They first met up in Harrogate, the northern town where the Rolex was last serviced. And then they both wound up living near each other in Essex some years later. As David Davis launched into the story, Clenahan, standing at the tea station, was unprepared to take notes.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
The mundane detail of writing utensil was more significant than Clenahan realized in the moment. He had no way of knowing that in two years' time, this very note would become evidence.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Proof that the man he was talking to was intentionally misleading him.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
When Ron Platt first broke the surprising news about his move to France, David Davis said that he offered to help his friend out financially to make it happen. And while an exchange of money just before someone dies of mysterious circumstances can be a red flag, it didn't sound like it in this case.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
But ultimately, as to the question of what the hell happened to him, like everyone else, Davis had no idea what his friend would have been doing in Devon. Boarding a boat that would take him to France? That would make some sense. As they ended their chat on the phone, Clenahan asked if Davis could point them toward any other people who knew Ron.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Davis said he'd never met Ron's family, but he knew that he had brothers. And then notably, Davis told Clenahan that Ron had once served in the military, so maybe they could find his family that way.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Someone who was never supposed to be found. We begin July 28th, 1996, in the holiday town of Brixham in Devon, England, where a college kid, happy to be home for the summer, was looking forward to two straight months of sleeping in.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
This confirmed that they didn't just have a Ronald Platt, but this Ronald Platt.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Finally, with a little wind in their sails, through the army records, they were able to find a family member of Ron's in Wales. So they grabbed their coats and were out the door to meet Brian, Ronald Platt's big brother.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
They began by showing Brian a photo from the coroner's office, a zoomed-in shot of the hand tattoo.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
The best guess that anyone had at this point was that the tattoo was maybe of a star or a constellation.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
And then the three men sat down for the tough part.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
In their conversation with Brian, MacDonald and Clenahan learned that Ronald Platt was the middle child with two brothers, that he'd spent his formative years growing up in Canada before coming home to the UK at 17 to join the Royal Air Force. Brian described his little brother as being quiet, private, that Ron suffered from depression and dark moods, which pricked up the ears of both detectives.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
But even here, sitting with a member of his nuclear family, clear answers remained elusive. It turned out that the three Platt brothers weren't close at all. There had never been a falling out or any animosity. It was just that where their brotherly bond was supposed to be, instead, there was just a vacuum.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Brian didn't know much of anything about his little brother's life and certainly knew nothing about the end of it. Clenahan and MacDonald thanked Brian and started their drive back to Devon.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
The mystery of what happened to Ron Platt had consumed water cooler chatter at the police station for weeks.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
And in the coming weeks, nothing new would turn up. It was obvious to MacDonald and Clenahan that it was time to let this one go. Wind it down and get this thing off their desk. It wasn't all for nothing. They ID'd the mystery man and notified the family so that they could have a proper funeral. That was something, at least. It felt like it was over.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
How are we ever going to find out what happened?
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
The day that everything changed begins with Clenahan at his desk in the police station. As far as he was concerned, all the final paperwork on Ron Platt was filed and finished. The only minor outstanding thing that remained was for him to make contact with David Davis on behalf of Ron's brother, Brian, to retrieve some of Ron's possessions. So Clenahan had to call Davis.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
But consequently, there was a hiccup.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Craig Coppock was the son of a fisherman, a line of work that Craig knew to be fundamentally incompatible with the sleepy goals of a university kid. So whatever dreams he had for that summer were quickly dashed by a pronouncement from his dad.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
So he got Peter Redman of Essex Police back on the phone.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Peter Redman again, the most low-key cop of all time.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Redmond's post in Chelmsford is a really busy office. He usually has a million things to do and wouldn't, under normal circumstances, drive the half-hour drive to go and do another detachment a favor right away. But this day, he had a reason to want to make the drive.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
So Redmond heads out for the small village called Woodham Walter.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
As Peter Redman drives his brand new car that day in 1996, he has no idea that he himself has become a vehicle of fate. He and Clenahan and McDonald will spend the rest of their lives thinking about how big a role luck played that day. What would have happened if Clenahan didn't lose Davis' phone number? They'd wonder in the coming decades.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
What if Redmond didn't feel compelled to take the new car for a spin and someone else went to Woodham Walter that day? They'd never know.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
He was told that Davis' home was a place on Little London Lane that was called simply Little London Farmhouse. When Redmond took my producer Alex on this exact drive, everything looked the same as it did back then, but for one key detail.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
The houses all have signposts with their names on them, but they didn't then.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
And this, Redmond standing on the doorstep with his hand perched to knock, this, dear listener, is the biggest what if from that day. What if Redmond didn't accidentally knock on the wrong door? And Frank and Audrey answered. Frank and Audrey, the neighbors, were both in their late 70s. Charmingly, whenever they met a new person, like the police officer on their doorstep, they'd offer right away.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
We're not married to each other. We're both widows and live together just as friends. Peter double-checked the address for David Davis and asked them if this was...
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Craig had been helping his father on the trawler since he was 11, so he knew all too well what assisting dad on the boat would look like.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
David Davis? Frank furrowed his brow. He'd never heard of a David Davis. And he said, oh, no, Ron Platt lives next door. I beg your pardon? The man in that house right there? In the address that David Davis said was his house? To you? He's called Ron Platt? That was the spark. Redmond took a second to process what he just heard. Suddenly, this routine visit felt ominous. Ronald Platt is dead.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
But Davis is Platt? So Platt is alive? And living here next to this platonic couple? Redmond needed to find out more.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
As Redmond stands on the exact stoop with my producer Alex today, at the same crooked cottage with the same wooden door, retracing the steps he took nearly 30 years earlier, all of a sudden, a man peers out from the side door of the house, suspicious as to why we're staring at his property, armed with a microphone.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
They'd lived there for about a year. Oh, and one more thing, they had a boat.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
After chatting for a fair while, Redmond stood up and asked if they would be so kind as to keep this conversation just between the three of them and made his way back to his car, dizzy.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Redmond drove the new car straight back to the station in Chelmsford because he knew two detectives in Devon who needed to hear about this.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Clenahan waved over MacDonald and told him that the neighbours in Woodham Walter know David Davis as Ron Platt.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
They knew immediately that this was something they were going to need to bring to the boss.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Sinkhog finally relented. And after he absorbed the information, he had a plan. He said, we need to learn everything we can about the man living in that house. And we need to do it discreetly.

Coming up on Sea of Lies, we meet the one person who knows both Ronald Platts.

Craig and his dad headed out on their 10-meter rig, the Malkery, to trawl for cod a few miles offshore. And after the first few hours, it was shaping up to be an underwhelming day of fishing.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
But John Coppock was as experienced a fisherman as you could find in all of England. His body seemed like it was designed by God to wrestle slippery things on unstable decks. He was solid in stature and sharp of mind from countless years of reading between trawls. And he had a hunch on where they'd find their big catch for the day. A notorious area known to the local fishermen as the roughs.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Craig's dad was unafraid of the roughs because he'd modified his nets specifically to traverse the big rocks that the other fishermen were wary of. After a couple of hours in the roughs, they started to bring up the net to see if their third toe would be different. And as the seagulls began circling, they could tell right away that this was the catch they were after.

But then, their fortunes turned.

Hi, I'm Sam Mullins. I'm a writer and podcaster, and you might know me from shows I've made like Wild Boys or Dr. Dante. And I want to tell you about my brand new podcast series. It's called Sea of Lies from CBC's Uncover. When the body of a man is found at the bottom of the ocean, the only clue to discover his identity is through the Rolex watch ticking on his wrist.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Father and son stared at the body in disbelief.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
The man on their deck was fully dressed, wearing a button-up shirt, trousers with a belt, and laced-up shoes. His skin had a grayish hue and appeared almost like latex.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
The Coppix approached slowly for a closer look when they noticed two key details.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
To young Craig, there was a body on the deck, and with it, a mystery. But to his father, a much more experienced seafarer, all he could see upon the deck was the dilemma now before him. The right thing to do would be for him to go into the cabin and radio the Coast Guard about this. But the right thing in this case, as it often is, would not be the financially savvy thing to do.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
And beyond today, Craig's dad knew there could be a second, even bigger financial hit coming down the road from this. There was an urban legend among the fisherman community that they believed to be true.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
So before they did anything, father and son would need to have a sober talk about their options. In the privacy of the open sea, it was obvious. No one needed to know about this. This could easily be kept between them and the gulls.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
The more they thought about it, the lost money, the lost day, the hassle of inviting cops on board and giving legal statements, it didn't seem worth it to get involved. Even though it felt wrong, this didn't need to be their problem.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Coppock made contact with the Coast Guard over the VHF radio, and Central Command paged one of their most experienced men.
Someone Knows Something

Agate was told that the Coppix had a body on their deck, so he headed out on a small Coast Guard sea rider to meet them. And as he crested toward them, he felt confident that he knew the identity of the man upon their deck. He'd been expecting this call.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
It was all over the news. A couple local 20-year-olds found a pedal boat on the beach when they were stumbling home from the pub and took it out into the bay. What they didn't know was that the pedal boat they found was broken. And what the surviving boy didn't know was that his friend never learned to swim. Two weeks of searching had yielded no trace of the kid, except for a single item.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
So Agate boarded the Coppock ship with a body bag, fully expecting to quickly zip inside a single white-shoed lad. But of course, that wasn't a bee when I got there and saw what I saw. As Coppock was steering the ship toward the harbor, on the shore, the police were setting up a perimeter on the customs pier.

What starts out as a mystery of identity grows exponentially into a race against time to capture one of the world's most wanted criminals. It's the story of a man who couldn't stop lying. A story of murder, betrayal, stolen identities, diaper bags stuffed with gold bars, and the incredible police investigation that brought it all to light, led by a miraculous string of luck.
Someone Knows Something

The authorities were hoping to tape off a relatively private part of the quay, where they could deal with the body out of view of the holidaymakers and kids with ice cream cones.

Clenahan was a young cop from Liverpool, a scouser. And on the day he got his first call on what would turn out to be the biggest case he'd ever work, he was still in his 20s and had just been posted in Devon earlier that week.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Clenahan, like the Coast Guard, was expecting this to be the body of the missing 20-year-old. But on the ride in, Paul Aggett of the Coast Guard became certain of two things. One, this was not the body of the 20-year-old.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Once the boat was docked, Ian Clenahan and a couple of other Devon police officers climbed aboard to collect the body. When Agate, the Coast Guard, raised his hand.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
As they waited for the team, Clenahan and the other two looked at the body for themselves, when one of the officers suddenly turned his attention to Craig Coppock and his dad.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
This was exactly what Craig and his dad didn't want, and partly why they had a moment of pause before they radioed the body in in the first place.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Young Craig was sweating at the accusation, but luckily his dad was a bright man who could think on his feet.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
Crisis averted. The accusing officer circled back to the body.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
The time on its face read 1135, the 22nd. Today was the 28th. And it's at this point when Craig opened his mouth in a slip of youthful confidence to offer what he thought was something helpful to say.
Someone Knows Something
Someone Knows Something Introduces | Uncover: Sea of Lies
While Craig was embarrassing himself off to the side, Inspector Clenahan continued looking at the body.
