The Mysterious Case of the Gentleman of Heligoland
In July 1994, the body a man was fished out of the North Sea, near the German Island of Heligoland. Dressed smartly and with a complete absence of identifying information, the body was simply named ”The Gentleman”. Nearly thirty years later the body is still unnamed and unclaimed. And with injuries that suggested foul play, his killers have got away with murder. From the team that brought you The Mysterious Case of Fred the Head, join us as we take a deep dive into one of Europe’s coldest cases, and try to piece together what might have happened. Uncovering new clues, new possibilities and, just maybe, the truth.

We have Julian Chisholm firmly in our sights and for good reason; he goes missing at exactly the right time and we've discovered he shares a very unusual jaw deformity with the victim.
But there's a problem - the German police are convinced the Gentleman of Heligoland is between 45-50 years of age, and Julian Chisholm is only 30 when he goes missing.
Surely that rules Julian Chisholm out......?

It's been a year, but we're back - and we're back because of a tip off. A suggestion that we might look at an intriguing case from the early 1990s and see where it takes us.
And as it turns out, it proves to be well worth investigating.
For more information on the man we are looking at. There's a great podcast here:

We've found ourselves focussing on a series of horrific crimes perpetrated in Belgium. A crime spree that involved a very tall man - A man known as The Giant by the Belgian police. We needed to know more about this man to see if there was any potential link to the Gentleman. There was one person who we could turn to; A journalist who has been covering that case for over 20 years - and it's a fascinating story.

We are on the lookout for Giants, and we've found a 6'5" man who is acquitted of murder, with striking similarities to the Gentleman, but that all depends on what happens to him afterwards? And is he the only giant we need to be taking a much closer look at?
