00:32Lord, I know the coming days are going to be hard for me.
00:36Yasmin, we've got two less for lunch.
00:38You give me the strength to face them.
00:41And Winston, well, Winston's not feeling...
00:44You're by my side.

00:48Always gets eaten.
00:49Oh, Sylvie sweetheart, I'm so sorry.
00:53We didn't disturb you, did we?
00:55No, just saying a quick prayer.
00:56Oh, please don't tell me you've got the whole church ready on your own.
01:00I don't mind. I enjoy it.
01:02Yeah, but I told him to be here to help.
01:16So, I think I know what you're going to say.
01:18Despite me specifically asking you...
01:21To arrive early and help Mrs. Godwin with the church.
01:24I'm sorry, I promise it will never happen again.
01:28It will.
01:28I mean, yes, it's very probable.
01:30So, are you going to make it to the service?

04:44Could you stop it all?
04:57What a feast
04:59I'm't right
05:00I'll feed you
05:03No
05:04I'm เมть
05:05A feast
05:08good afternoon we don't often see you here on your own yeah well the commissioner has been
05:16encouraging me to put myself out more and you've got to do what the big man says right so I
05:21thought
05:21I'd try my hand with the Domino's crowd good for you I'll introduce you it's a lot noisier than
05:31how they play back up I mean back there it's it's more sedate unless some passionate exactly there
05:38so often the way with the English everyone this is Mervyn he was looking to play Oscar maybe you
05:50could play with me yeah nice to meet you Oscar nice to meet you um be gentle with me yeah
05:58it's been a
05:59while now me you're not working today we are now I'm afraid got an accidental death coroner is away
06:08at the moment so we have to go and sign off on it Mervyn's here it was just about to
06:14play his first
06:14Dominos game on the island well okay then uh nice one mate we should uh have a rematch sometime yeah
06:30by the 12th or never it's not over ready the man totally thrashed me I was only gone a few
06:36moments
06:36sounds like a hurricane never seen anything like it DS Thomas please tell me we've got a new case to
06:44deal with because that was genuinely humiliating we have by St Vincent's church which is Seb's mother's
06:52church he was the one that called it in see Oscar English victim named Sylvia Godwin she was 85 years
07:08old
07:08God bless her I can't believe she's gone just like that did you know her well since I was a
07:14kid she was
07:16like auntie to me you know sorry mate so was she alone when it happens she stayed behind after service
07:24to tidy up looks like she was dusting the cross and lost her footing and pulled it down with her
07:29poor woman paramedics reckon she banged her head when she landed caused an injury to the brain and you
07:36found her body officer Rose mm-hmm me and my mama and miss Celie she's the headmistress at the church
07:43primary school down the road he's done with something isn't right it's not adding up this whole
07:51scene in front of it it's just not adding up for me it's her shoes what's wrong with her shoes
07:58there's nothing wrong with her shoes per se they're nice enough Sunday best shoes got bit of a heel on
08:05them about two inches I reckon the thing is most people if they're gonna climb up on a chair to
08:12do
08:12some dusting and they're wearing heels they're gonna remove them beforehand to be more sure-footed
08:17safety first and all that and they're 85 years old I think mrs. Godwin here will be even more likely
08:25to do that than than anyone younger or more agile so what are you suggesting that she didn't climb up
08:31on
08:31the chair no she didn't and if she didn't climb up on the chair she didn't fall from the chair
08:39and if
08:39she didn't fall from the chair she didn't bang her head from falling and if she didn't bang her head
08:43from falling then what did actually happen here you think it's suspicious I think we've been sold a lie
08:50but that's not possible why no because the church was all locked up from the inside so nobody could get
08:57in or out
09:00show me so when we got here we went to the back entrance
09:12the keys in on the other side so we came around to the front entrance to the same situation
09:18let me see there's a key in here too so I had to bust the door open
09:29see whose keys there mrs. Godwin's she usually locks the door and she's tidying up so nobody bothers
09:35her show me the back door is this also the victim's key no that's from the hook over there sir
09:45I don't
09:45know how it got in this door could someone have been hiding in here while you were in there no
09:51way as
09:53soon as I found her I saw my phone had no juice I came straight in here and call the
09:57ambulance I'm
09:58telling you both doors were locked on the inside if someone killed mrs. Godwin and staged a crime
10:05scene then how did they manage to get out no that just can't be there is no reason anybody would
10:16want
10:16to do that to Sylvie she's right it's crazy you think it is suspicious well can you tell us a
10:22little
10:22more about her did mrs. Godwin have any family was she married was but he passed away when was that
10:28now it was 2017 I officiated the funeral I mean you want to know about Sylvie's life it was this
10:35church this church was her family that's the truth she had been coming to St Vincent since before I was
10:43born she was christened here she got married here she and she never missed a single Sunday service in
10:51all of her life pasta I came straight over thank you for coming Hector I called Hector and told him
11:02the
11:02news he was very close to Sylvie she was his school teacher many years ago Hector my eyes
11:11Joe Wilson yes Thomas so mrs. Godwin was a teacher St Vincent primary school I took over from her as
11:21headmistress when she retired and you kept in touch with her always the things you did for me as a
11:28kid
11:29above and beyond you know in what way kept an eye on me because my parents didn't Sylvie and Walter
11:43her
11:43husband they never had kids themselves Hector meant the world to her that's why this just can't be true
11:50that woman had nothing but good in her well if you think of anything you let us know yeah
12:14you can go and rest your feet I'll clear all this up now to make your herbal tea
12:19after a day like today all I want is for you to pour me a room a large one all
12:26right Christmas from
12:27come out early this year Seb your inspector is he usually right about this kind of thing 99.9%
12:38of
12:38the time so someone did murder Sylvie but who I don't know but couldn't have been anybody at the
12:48church right so maybe Sylvie had things going on in her life that we don't know about well mom I
12:56promise
12:57you whatever it is we'll figure it out I know this hasn't played out how we expected but I had
13:09to do what
13:10I had to do no I'm not coming back yet not until I've got what I came for
13:32finish your breakfast
13:41you're welcome
13:54commissioner you made me jump
13:56good morning inspector good morning this arrived for me in the morning post
14:05it's from your victim
14:10mrs godwin saw me on the local news covering the recent police initiative event she said she could
14:18tell I wanted to put things right and that's what she also needed to do right or wrong but she
14:26didn't
14:26say what that was only that whatever it was was about criminal nature and had something to do with
14:34St Vincent's church there is a dark secret that has been buried for too long and it's time the truth
14:40came out it was posted on Saturday morning and 24 hours later she was dead
14:54well this gets more interesting by the minute how much is in mrs.
14:58boardroom's bank account two million four hundred and sixty three thousand dollars
15:04what you sure about that like seriously seriously well new primary school headteachers earn so much
15:12I requested statements that go further back all I have is the last five years and the money was
15:17already in the accounts the victims husband water is it what did he do for living mr.
15:22Walter Godwin he was a caretaker at the same school that mrs. Godwin worked at I think that's where they
15:27first met so suddenly to be his money hmm do we know anything about her family yeah mrs. Godwin
15:33told me once appearance for farmers they definitely weren't rich so she didn't inherit it could the money
15:38have something to do with the crime she talks about in this letter the one connected to st.
15:43Vincent's officer let's give your mom a call see if it sparks a memory or something yeah cool but
15:48all of this is a bit odd because it's nothing like mrs. Godwin I mean two million dollars that's
15:55crazy she wasn't that kind of person once we're done here we're gonna go and search mrs. Godwin's
16:01house also we've emailed everyone on the st. Vincent's weekly newsletter to see if any of
16:05the parishioners saw anything suspicious yesterday okay thank you sir that was the solicitor handling
16:13Sylvie Godwin's will it seems mrs. Godwin has left everything to Hector Moyse oh so this guy's just
16:23become a millionaire it appears so sir what do we know about him he's a fisherman or was but he
16:32doesn't work for the last 18 months or so due to an injury out at sea so if he's had
16:37no income for
16:39almost two years then then two million is gonna come in very handy I don't know either solid the
16:50trees right now mom I'll speak to later I got to go I'll leave you to his inspector no worries
16:55commissioner sir I just got off the phone to my mother and she has no idea what Sylvie Godwin was
17:01talking about in that letter well if anything else comes to mind you let me know yeah all right
17:07where are they going to interview Hector Moyse he's a possible suspect now Hector a suspect he's a good
17:15guy he wouldn't kill anybody let alone Sylvie Godwin she was like a mother to him well these are the
17:20questions we have to ask is what we do without fear or favor remember that used to be my boat
17:31there spend
17:34more time to get on me an hour than anyone else and then some doctor you don't even know writes
17:43a
17:43certificate saying you can't do it no more well how are your finances now you're not working I'm
17:51struggling all right no one wants to imply a guy who only knows how to do one thing in his
17:56life yeah
17:57but that will change us now doesn't excuse me what mr. Moyse you inherit the bulk of Sylvie Godwin's
18:05estate and don't tell us you didn't know her solicitor told us mrs. Godwin informed you when she made
18:10the will a few years back yeah I knew but she got hardly nothing just her house which is a
18:15few
18:15tens of thousands you think I'd kill for that you're telling us she didn't let you know what was
18:20in her will no why it's more than just her house 2.4 million dollars more I'm sorry what is
18:33this a joke
18:34funny how things turn out aye yeah I didn't know she had that kind of money I swear to you
18:39she never
18:39mention a word to me about it hmm look I get it I get how it looks to you I
18:45need money badly I'm
18:46desperate but I had no idea Sylvie was loaded like that so why would I kill her
18:59Sarge found some kind of time machine in mrs. Godwin's office oh it's a computer have you done those it
19:10no not yet okay you do that and I'll do this cool well it seems to be working so I
19:22noticed your dad
19:22wasn't around yesterday if you don't mind me asking is he yeah he um he passed away I'm so sorry
19:32how old
19:34were you 11 so young must have been hard really hard you know yeah my first lesson in pain but
19:49seeing
19:50my mother rise up every morning after that that showed me what true love looks like you know made us
19:57closer a team you can tell the Belchard dipty you know what a dipty is yeah it's um used to
20:17measure
20:17oil in the car you know you dip it in take it out I said dipty you're trying to say
20:22dipstick right dipty
20:24the painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book oh you mean dipty yeah man we
20:32know about dipty can empty yeah well apparently this Belchard dipty is rare priceless kind of rare
20:39yeah why was Sylvie interested in this let's check a search history why watch her
20:54she searched the hell out of it this was three days ago Friday the day before she posted that
21:01letter to the commissioner the Belchard dipty is a rare French panel painting from the Middle Ages
21:11each panel measures 50 by 30 centimeters rare so it's worth some coinage hmm it's worth major coinage
21:19if anybody could find it it went missing from France during the Second World War and here it is
21:24it's believed the dipty was taken from a museum in Paris by a young German soldier called Joseph
21:30Krauss they reckon he brought that same painting over here to the Caribbean when the Vichy government
21:36sends a new governor to Martini Krauss and a couple of other German soldiers accompanied him
21:42and what happened to it when he came here why general but Joseph Krauss he fled the region when
21:49the war finished and the painting never resurfaced and some historians believe that Krauss hid the
21:55Belchard dipty on one of the smaller neighboring islands like Saint Marie right so our victim was
22:04looking into this Belchard dipty and the next day sent a letter to the commissioner saying she wanted to
22:09put right a wrong that took place many years before at St Vincent's Church and 24 hours later Sylvie
22:16was murdered in the church with both doors locked from the inside she also had over two million dollars
22:23in her bank account and we've no idea how she got that money but if she came into possession of
22:28this
22:28painting then maybe that could explain why she ended up so rich okay let's keep digging yeah and DS Thomas
22:39get in touch with the commissioner because if there's any truth in it this could be a big deal
22:56everything all right
23:01it's just like first Hector then Mrs. Godwin it's all it's all a bit much right now
23:11Sylvie was all about doing the right thing you should have said so no cuz it's like you said right
23:17without fear our favor so it's not right me defending her is it even if I know it's the truth
23:24that if this case is too close to home it's okay to take a step back no it's cool
23:30Sarge it's cool I really want to help get to the bottom of this facility yeah sure yeah all right
23:39then I'll see you tomorrow morning yeah all right take care of yourself
23:47all right thanks for letting me know Mrs. Martin you have yourself a good evening
23:55sir that was one of the parishioners from St. Vincent's received the email we sent out asking if anyone saw
24:02anything suspicious yesterday
24:04says she saw a woman outside the church yesterday morning parked up in a hire car never seen her at
24:10St. Vincent's before
24:11description it was a silver vehicle with logos for Kariba car hire the woman looked in her 50s with shoulder
24:19length
24:20blonde hair not much of a tan apparently so with the hire car maybe not a local yes me again
24:28so who is she
24:29I'm telling you the police haven't found it yet I watched two officers leaving her house both of them carrying
24:34evidence and they didn't have it with them
24:38so where's it got to I know a little of the history of the Belchior diptyque but how or why
24:45that
24:46connects to Sylvie Godwin I don't know but I shall ask her own evening all sorry I'm late I had
24:57a prior

29:17what's going on sir
29:18well
29:19I went on a walk last night
29:20and
29:21I ended up here
29:22so I thought I'd come and
29:23start on the case
29:24can we
29:25oh yes
29:26sure sir sir
29:28yes sir sir
29:29oh

29:33oh sir
29:33yes yes come on yes
29:35so um
29:36I'm just on the phone with
29:38Sylvie Godwin's bank manager
29:39and interestingly the 2.5 million in her account she inherited it from her husband Walter Godwin
29:45the bank manager says she don't know where he got it from or how Walter got so rich
29:49it was Walter's money
29:51yeah and unfortunately the liar who was handling water's will is no longer her own so that's all I got
29:58why is there a post-it with post-mortem exclamation mark written on it
30:01oh
30:01the post-mortem just came in it's here somewhere
30:04got it
30:05under the takeaway
30:06I will clear that up for you soon as possible Sarge sorry about that
30:10why is there a pack of toilet roll on my desk
30:12that's why I went for the walk in the first place my new host mate was I don't forget the
30:17toilet roll
30:18he says the victim became unconscious and died of hypoxia and reckon she was hit with something with a sharp
30:25edge rather than banging her head on the floor
30:28so we're right
30:29it was murder
30:31what are all these printouts on the floor sir?
30:34oh
30:34that's from Kariba car hire
30:36they sent the details of the woman who was seen outside St Vincent Church the morning of the murder
30:40Selina Bascombe
30:4254 years old from the UK Berkshire

32:10Walter Godwin
32:11Walter Godwin was my grandfather
32:13he was stationed on Saint Marie during the Second World War
32:17when the war ended he wrote to my grandmother
32:21who was pregnant with my father at the time
32:24saying that he wasn't coming home
32:26that it was over between them
32:29and he knew she was pregnant
32:30yes except
32:32I don't think it was him who wrote that letter
32:35I think it was someone else
32:36um
32:37I found this
32:39on the St Vincent's Church website
32:42it's the day that Walter Godwin got married
32:45to Sylvie
32:46well
32:48that's Sylvie
32:49but that's not Walter Godwin
32:52that's not my grandfather see
32:53that's not the same man
33:02so
33:02you realised
33:04that someone
33:05might have stolen your grandfather's identity
33:07I know they did
33:09and you came here to Saint Marie to find out who this
33:12other Walter Godwin was
33:15that's why you were at the church Sunday morning
33:17to speak with Sylvie Godwin
33:23Mrs Godwin
33:28so
33:28how did she react when you suggested
33:30that the man who she'd been married to for 60 odd years
33:33may not be who she thought he was
33:35she already knew
33:38she said that she'd only just found out herself that week
33:44how?
33:44well
33:45her plumber had found a box hidden under the floorboards
33:48when he was fixing a pipe
33:50I'll find out which plumber
33:52Sylvie said
33:53it had the true identity of her husband in it
33:56all his personal documents
33:58making clear what happened to my grandfather
34:01which was what?
34:04she wouldn't tell me
34:06she said that she wasn't ready yet
34:09and that she wanted to do it in her own time
34:11and
34:12in her own way
34:14whatever that meant
34:17I think it meant she wanted to go to the police first about it
34:20which must have frustrated you
34:22coming all this way to be denied the truth
34:24this is my family
34:26you have no right to keep this to yourself
34:29sorry
34:29I can't help you
34:33and in that moment
34:35caught up in it all
34:35that's when you must have decided
34:37no no
34:38no
34:38I wouldn't really
34:39I wouldn't
34:41I just left
34:42I was angry
34:43but I didn't want to hurt her
34:45I just wanted to know what was in that box
34:47and now she's dead
34:49and I don't know where it is
35:00so if Sylvie had this box she talked about
35:03where is it?
35:05because it wasn't at the crime scene
35:07and it wasn't at her house
35:08and if someone did steal Walter Godwin's identity
35:11who?
35:13and what happened to the real Walter Godwin?
35:15I just got off the phone with the plumber
35:16who was over at the victim's house last Friday
35:19said Sylvie looked haunted after she looked inside that box
35:27about an hour later
35:28she was getting inside a taxi
35:30saying she needed to go to St Vincent's Primary School
35:36she went to see Yasmin Seeley
35:43okay I'm going to lay it out Miss Seeley
35:45I believe it's you who has the missing box
35:47Sylvie's
35:49we could get a search warrant or
36:08it's a German passport
36:12from the Second World War it looks like
36:13belonged to
36:15Joseph Krauss
36:16it's believed the diptych
36:18was taken from a museum in Paris
36:20by a young German soldier
36:21called Joseph Krauss
36:23the last visa stamp show
36:25he left Martinique at the end of the war
36:26and came to St Marie
36:31St Marie Times
36:33September 27th 1945
36:36it's a report about
36:38an unnamed British soldier
36:40getting into a fight with
36:42a group of German naval officers
36:44and left for dead
36:45near St Vincent's Church
36:47his body was never found
36:48I believe that soldier was Walter Godwin
36:51and I think Joseph Krauss came across his body
36:56Joseph realized he could steal his identity
36:58if he could dispose of the body without it being found
37:04a map of the St Vincent churchyard
37:07that must be where the real Walter Godwin was buried
37:11he took Walter's uniform and papers
37:13and buried him there
37:15in this grave
37:17so no one would ever find it
37:19from that moment on
37:20Joseph Krauss was
37:21Walter Godwin
37:22I guess he softened his accent as much as he could
37:25and by the time he and Sylvie met
37:27about 15 years later
37:29and he seemed like the Englishman
37:30she thought he was
37:31we need to get a forensic victim
37:33over from Guadalupe
37:39I'm assuming Mr Krauss
37:41went to all these lengths because of this
37:44the Belshaw diptych
37:46I mean if the authorities worked out he stole it
37:48and came looking for him
37:50then with a new identity
37:52they wouldn't find him
37:53from what I know he lived a simple life
37:55working as a caretaker for this school
37:58and when he and Sylvie met
38:00everyone always said
38:02they truly loved each other
38:05that was the day she retired
38:07handed the baton over to me
38:12why have you got this box, Miss Sylvie?
38:16Sylvie brought it with her
38:17when she came here on Friday
38:19I asked her if I could keep it
38:20so I could look into it some more
38:21that's all
38:22it's entirely innocent
38:23not if you didn't tell us about it
38:25it isn't
38:26actually that's suspicious
38:28why did you choose to keep it to yourself?
38:35this school is everything to me
38:39and I can't risk its reputation being damaged
38:43it's struggling enough as it is
38:45financially
38:47all we have to keep going is donations
38:49people's goodwill
38:50and if it ever got out
38:51that we had a caretaker working here
38:53that wasn't who we thought he was
38:56was a Nazi soldier who covered up a murder
39:02so you killed Miss Godwin to stop all this?
39:05no no no
39:06I'm very sorry
39:07I should have told you about it
39:08I know but
39:11I didn't kill her
39:12I didn't kill her
39:20so if Joseph Krauss sold the Belshazz diptych
39:23and had all that money
39:25then why he never do nothing with it?
39:28never spend it, nothing
39:30perhaps he kept it just in case
39:32I mean if the truth ever caught up with him
39:35then he had the means to
39:36change his identity
39:38again
39:40Afternoon Sergeant Thomas
39:44The trouble is
39:45we're still no closer to working out
39:46who murdered Sylvie Godwin
39:49and then managed to exit the building
39:51when both the front and back door were locked
39:53from the inside
39:55with keys inside the lock
39:59he's buried here
40:01my grandfather
40:03we believe so
40:05yes
40:22Officer Rhodes
40:24Inspector
40:26hey
40:27um
40:28sorry I'll just
40:30taking a moment you know
40:33I'll give you some space
40:35no no no
40:35no you alright
40:37I was just coming in to see if I could
40:39make any more sense of it all
40:41me too I guess
40:43and?
40:45not much
40:48usually
40:49I find
40:50it levels me out
40:53but
40:53I can feel peace
40:55here
40:57no
40:58sorry I haven't been much use in this investigation
41:00it's just been a lot for me you know
41:01I mean look
41:02we all have cases that um
41:04throw us off balance from time to time
41:06and I've had more than my fair share trust me
41:08right
41:10see
41:10when I'm thrown by a case
41:12unless
41:13my brain just
41:15starts
41:16jumping around like some
41:19itchy footed grasshopper you know
41:22well
41:24maybe
41:26that is your unique selling point
41:28so I'd say
41:29embrace it
41:32own it
41:33don't let it own you
41:35in fact
41:36you know what
41:37let's try it
41:38let's try it right now
41:39yeah?
41:40oh
41:41we visualise it
41:42only this time
41:43you
41:44are taking the lead
41:45okay come on
41:46up you get
41:47that's it
41:50okay
41:52this is the crime scene
41:53the murder of Sylvie Godwin
41:56that door
41:57the front door
41:58is locked
41:58from the inside
42:00the keys in the door
42:05Sylvie's body is here
42:09this big wooden cross
42:10is on top of her
42:14now
42:15come on
42:16just freestyle it yeah
42:17just say whatever your brain wants to say
42:19um
42:21I'm thinking about
42:22when I busted the door open
42:25and I hurt mom
42:26you know
42:26when I got home it was all bruised up
42:28so
42:29I drank some rum
42:30to numb the pain
42:34well
42:35that also means
42:36it was definitely
42:38locked
42:41okay
42:41okay
42:42what else?
42:43well then
42:43if you were the killer
42:45you'd probably prefer
42:47to leave the scene
42:49at the back
42:49yeah yeah keep going
42:51keep going
42:51so that way you're less likely to be seen by others
42:53so um
42:54maybe
42:55we're in the wrong room
42:58the back room
42:59come on
43:08so what's she saying to you?
43:11this room
43:11what's it telling you?
43:15mmm
43:16what?
43:17collection box
43:19it's just... usually
43:21it sits right there under the shelf
43:24now it looks like it's been... pulled out of the cupboard
43:33there's a kind in it and that's odd because because miss godwin empties the collection box
43:38every sunday after the service today's collection pasta and she gives the money to my mom
43:49so this must have been put in there after she was murdered which means well then the killer
43:56must have put it there that won't go in the keys in on the other side
44:07p.m says the victim became unconscious and reckoned she was hit by something with a sharp edge diptych
44:14a painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book local art historians generally
44:21believe it was brought to saint marie
44:30bingo
44:32have you solved the case it was actually officer rose and his itchy footy grass upper brain that
44:38solved it i did that coin explains everything okay let's move people there's still some things we
44:46need to do like get hold of a search warrant and we need the luminol oh and we need a
44:51tape measure
44:52why do we need a tape measure to measure something
45:03way back in 1945 a young british soldier by the name of walter godwin was killed here on saint marie
45:11his identity was stolen and his body was hidden in someone else's grave now finally thanks to sylvie
45:20godwin and the discovery of this box that young man can get the proper burial he deserves thank you
45:29which brings us to the crime in the present sylvie godwin's murder at st vincent's church on sunday
45:35and although it occurred many years after walter godwin's murder this little wooden box in its contents
45:41helped solve this murder as well
45:45we know from the post-mortem that sylvie was hit with a sharp object this spray luminal it takes traces
45:52of blood and this proves that there was blood on the box recently as you can see here
46:02now we have another time to carry out the relevant tests but when our lab compares this blood with
46:08sylvie's i'm confident they'll match and as this box has only been in one person's possession since
46:14the murder it has led me to believe that sylvie godwin's killer was yasmin seeley
46:24what have you done that that's not true someone else must have taken it on them
46:33don't worry miss seeley we'll be coming to this in a minute
46:38throughout this case we've worked on the assumption that sylvie godwin's husband real name joseph
46:45krauss had sold the painting he had stolen which explains why he had so much money in his bank
46:51account well it's half the truth because the unique defining thing about a diptych is that there are
46:58two halves to it diptych a painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book and we
47:05now know
47:06that joseph krauss sold only one half of the belshare diptych and he kept the other half
47:21witness me
47:24now we'll never fully know why joseph separated the two panels my sense is that he was someone who
47:30liked to hedge his bets be prepared for all eventualities i think that's partly why
47:36he never spent any of the money plus having to explain to his wife-to-be how he came into
47:42such
47:43major coinage would mean admitting to the theft of this famous piece of art and also being an imposter
47:50so joseph held on to the money and the picture so where has it been the last 80 odd years
47:59or so
47:59hanging on the wall of the headmistress's office at the saint vincent's primary school
48:05which is now your office miss sealy
48:13joseph cross must have put it there during his years as caretaker
48:17and no one ever thought anything of it this faded religious icon hanging on the wall of a church
48:24school surrounded by other religious images earlier today miss sealy when we talked in your office
48:32that was the day she retired i saw that framed photo on the wall of sylvie and walter
48:38and i happened to notice the outline of a larger rectangle around that frame where the paint hadn't
48:44faded clearly another picture had previously hung there for some time i didn't think much of it at
48:50first but i had it measured and guess what it was 50 centimeters by 30 centimeters
49:06that's why mrs godwin came to see you when she found the box and realized what was hanging on her
49:14old office wall
49:16we can't keep it i go and let the police know but you didn't agree did you you told us
49:24your school
49:25was struggling for money but we had a bit of a dig and it's it's worse than that
49:32you've not drawn a salary in the last six months to keep it going you said yourself the place meant
49:38so much to you and so the prospect of getting millions of dollars just landing in your lap
49:46well you just weren't willing to give that up and so after driving home to pick up food for
49:54lorette's lunch gathering you returned to the church to plead with sylvie one more time
50:00please don't do it that money it could help the school so much could help me
50:06sylvie wasn't for turning was she i'm desperate as officer rose said she always tried to do good in
50:13life and she wasn't about to stop now sorry so in that moment desire for the money got the better
50:20of
50:20you and you decided you were going to stop her i assume sylvie had that box with her in the
50:25church
50:25that day and this box was your weapon of choice
50:32and once she used it to kill her you made it look like there'd been some tragic accident
50:45how could you
50:49now knowing that the front door of the church had already been locked by mrs godwin you made your
50:55escape via the rear using the church's spare back door key that you took from the back room
51:01to lock the door from the outside and placing this little coin in the lock
51:15it's locked so that when you returned with officer rose and lorette that won't go in
51:20and with a little play acting it would seem like the door was locked from the inside
51:26the keys in on the other side then when officer rose and his mom headed round to the front you
51:31lingered briefly and proceeded to open the door with the church's spare key pushing this coin out
51:38in the right in the process and then inserting that key inside all you had to do was find a
51:46moment to
51:47actually lock it okay thank you i mean it's honestly seeing the coin on the floor you picked it up
51:59and without your bag or purse you disposed of it in the collection box
52:10and then actually locked the back door with the key
52:16it was very clever of you making it look like sylvie was on her own in the church when she
52:21had that
52:22fatal fall one might say devilishly so but you see sylvie was so determined that the truth would come
52:30out that even after her death her desire to put right a decades old wrong finally won out this
52:38arrived for me in the morning post
52:45officer rose i think mr rest has your name on it
52:54so
52:54get up
52:57he has my ceiling i'm arresting you for the murder of silly me godlin

53:46that's not what your inspector told me he said it was because of you that it all got solved
53:54which is even more impressive considering you had other things to deal with
53:58like your mother keeping secrets
54:02and honestly mom i think it's helping you moving on i don't think you should be getting old and lonely
54:09and just focusing on me and the church you know you deserve happiness too
