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.
00:45I still made as much green fig salad as usual.
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?
01:38Um...
01:39I will try my best.
01:42Cha-cha.
01:43I leave.
01:51Yeah.
01:52Sorry, more now.
01:58Sorry, more now.
02:01I will try my best...
02:05Sorry, more now.
02:08Sorry, more now.
02:12I'm gonna put on my love my throne
02:15Down by the riverside
02:18Down by the riverside
02:20Down by the riverside
02:23Gonna put on my love my throne
02:25Down by the riverside
02:28Down by the riverside
02:31I ain't gonna study one no more
02:34We can pray in the morning for you.
02:37Bye.
02:40I'm going to nip home and grab the food.
02:43Is Seb still not here?
02:45You're gonna be okay setting up for lunch?
02:47I'll be fine.
02:49Okay.
02:53Today's collection, Pastor.
02:55I go and finish tidy up in here
02:57then I'll head over to your place.
02:59I'll see you soon, Sylvie.
03:17Hello?
03:22Hello?
03:24Is somebody there?
03:36Okay, everybody.
03:38Come and sit down.
03:41Oh, that boy has a sixth sense.
03:43You can't get him to come to church on time
03:45but dish up some food
03:47and there he is.
03:48What a feast.
03:49Looks like a time did just right.
03:51Can't wait to dig in.
03:52I'm dead for hungry.
03:54Miss Celie, mama, y'all good?
03:58Nice to see you, sir.
03:59Right, come everybody, sit down.
04:03Wait.
04:04Sylvie's not here.
04:06Don't tell me she's still at the church.
04:10Yes, ma'am.
04:11You're good?
04:11Yes, ma'am.
04:16Bye.
04:24Bye.
04:28Bye.
04:30Bye.
04:32Bye.
04:33Bye.
04:35Bye.
04:36Bye.
05:08Good evening.
05:09Good evening.
05:11We don't often see you here, on your own.
05:14Yeah, well, the commissioner's been encouraging me to put myself out more.
05:19And you've got to do what the big man says, right?
05:21So I thought I'd try my hand with the dominoes crowd.
05:24Good for you. I'll introduce you.
05:29It's a lot noisier than how they play back up.
05:32I mean, back there, it's more sedate.
05:35Less, um...
05:36Passionate.
05:37Exactly that.
05:38So off and away with the English.
05:43Everyone, this is Mervyn.
05:45He was looking to play.
05:49Oscar, maybe you could play with me.
05:52Sure.
05:53Yeah, nice to meet you, Oscar.
05:55Nice to meet you.
05:56Um, be gentle with me, yeah?
05:58It's been a while.
06:00Oh, Naomi, you're not working today.
06:03We are now, I'm afraid.
06:06Got an accidental death.
06:08Coroner's away at the moment, so we have to go and sign off on it.
06:11Mervyn's here.
06:12He was just about to play his first dominoes game on the island.
06:16There you go.
06:18What?
06:19Oh.
06:20That's it?
06:21Well.
06:23OK, then, er, nice one, mate.
06:27We should, er, have a rematch sometime.
06:29You know, by the 12th or never.
06:31It's not over already.
06:33The man totally thrashed me.
06:35I was only gone a few moments.
06:37It's like a hurricane.
06:38I've never seen anything like it.
06:42D.S. Thomas, please tell me we've got a new case to deal with, because that was genuinely humiliating.
06:47We have.
06:48By St. Vincent's Church, which is Seb's mother's church.
06:53He was the one that called it in.
06:58See you, Oscar.
07:01English.
07:05Victim's name is Sylvia Godwin.
07:06She was 85 years old.
07:08God bless her.
07:10I can't believe she's gone just like that.
07:12Did you know her well?
07:13Since I was a kid.
07:15She was like a auntie to me, you know?
07:18Sorry, mate.
07:20So, was she alone when it happened?
07:23She stayed behind after service to tidy up.
07:25Looks like she was dusting the cross and lost her footing and pulled it down with her.
07:30Poor woman.
07:31Paramedics reckon she banged her head when she landed, causing an injury to the brain.
07:36And you found her body, Officer Rose?
07:38Mm-hmm.
07:40Me and my mama and Miss Celie, she's the headmistress at the church primary school down the road.
07:45Miss Godwin!
07:47Something isn't right.
07:49It's not adding up.
07:50This whole scene in front of it, it's just not adding up for me.
07:56It's her shoes.
07:57What's wrong with her shoes?
07:59There's nothing wrong with her shoes, per se.
08:01They're nice enough, Sunday best shoes.
08:04Got a bit of a heel on them.
08:06About two inches, I reckon.
08:08The thing is, most people, if they're going to climb up on a chair to do some dusting and they're
08:13wearing heels, they're going to remove them beforehand.
08:16To be more sure-footed.
08:17Safety first and all that.
08:19And at 85 years old, I think Mrs. Godwin here will be even more likely to do that than anyone
08:26younger or more agile.
08:27So, what are you suggesting, that she didn't climb up on the chair?
08:34No, she didn't.
08:35And if she didn't climb up on the chair, she didn't fall from the chair.
08:39And if she didn't fall from the chair, she didn't bang her head from falling.
08:42And if she didn't bang her head from falling, then what did actually happen here?
08:47You think it's suspicious?
08:49I think we've been sold a lie.
08:50Well, that's not possible.
08:52Why not?
08:53Because the church was all locked up from the inside, so nobody could get in or out.
09:00Show me.
09:02So, when we got here, we went to the back entrance.
09:06It's locked.
09:09Flip won't go in.
09:12The key's in on the other side.
09:15So, we came round to the front entrance.
09:17To the same situation.
09:19Let me see.
09:20There's a key in here too.
09:23So, I had to bust the door open.
09:28See?
09:29Whose key's that?
09:30Mrs. Godwin.
09:31She usually locks the door and she's tidying up, so nobody bothers her.
09:35Show me the back door.
09:40Is this also the victim's key?
09:43No, that's from the hook over there, sir.
09:45I don't know how it got in this door.
09:47Could someone have been hiding in here while you were in there?
09:51No way.
09:52As soon as I found her, I saw my phone had no juice.
09:55I came straight in here and called the ambulance.
09:58I'm telling you, both doors were locked on the inside.
10:00If someone killed Mrs. Godwin and staged a crime scene, then how did they manage to get out?
10:12No, that just can't be.
10:14There is no reason anybody would want to do that to Sylvie.
10:18She's right.
10:18It's crazy you think it is suspicious.
10:20Well, can you tell us a little more about her?
10:23Did Mrs. Godwin have any family?
10:25Was she married?
10:26It was, but he passed away.
10:27When was it now?
10:28It was 2017.
10:30I officiated the funeral.
10:32I mean, you want to know about Sylvie's life?
10:34It was this church.
10:36This church was her family.
10:39That's the truth.
10:41She had been coming to St. Vincent since before I was born.
10:45She was christened here.
10:46She got married here.
10:48And she never missed a single Sunday service in all of her life.
10:53Pastor, I came straight over.
10:55Thank you for coming, Hector.
11:00I called Hector and told him the news.
11:03He was very close to Sylvie.
11:05She was his schoolteacher many years ago.
11:07Hector, my eyes.
11:11Dye Wilson, Dias Thomas.
11:15So, Mrs. Godwin was a teacher?
11:18St. Vincent Primary School.
11:20I took over from her as headmistress when she retired.
11:24And you kept in touch with her?
11:26Always.
11:26The things she did for me as a kid?
11:29Above and beyond, you know?
11:35In what way?
11:38She kept an eye on me.
11:40Because my parents didn't.
11:42Sylvie and Walter, her husband,
11:44they never had kids themselves.
11:46Hector met the world to her.
11:48That's why this just can't be true.
11:50That woman had nothing but good in her.
11:57Well, if you think of anything, you let us know, yeah?
12:29You can go and rest your feet, man.
12:43I don't know.
12:44I don't know.
12:46I don't know.
12:47But it couldn't have been anybody at the church, right?
12:49So, maybe, Sylvie had things going on in her life that we don't know about.
12:56But, Mum, I promise you, whatever it is, we'll figure it out.
13:06I know this hasn't played out how we expected, but I had to do what I had to do.
13:12No, I'm not coming back yet.
13:14Not until I've got what I came for.
13:32Finish your breakfast.
13:41You're welcome.
13:43You're welcome.
13:54Commissioner, you made me jump.
13:57Good morning, Inspector.
13:58Good morning.
13:59This 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.
14:16She said she could tell I wanted to put things right.
14:21And that's what she also needed to do, right or wrong.
14:26But she didn't say what that was?
14:27Only that whatever it was, was of a criminal nature and had something to do with St. Vincent's Church.
14:35There is a dark secret that has been buried for too long, and it's time the truth came out.
14:43It was posted on Saturday morning.
14:48And 24 hours later, she was dead.
14:54Well, this gets more interesting by the minute.
14:56How much is in Mrs. Godwin's bank account?
14:59Two million, four hundred and sixty-three thousand dollars.
15:04What? You sure about that? Like, seriously?
15:08Seriously.
15:09Well, new primary school headteachers earned so much.
15:12I requested statements that go further back.
15:14All I have is the last five years, and the money was already in the account.
15:18The victim's husband, Walter, is it? What did he do for a living?
15:21Mr. Walter Godwin. He was a caretaker at the same school that Mrs. Godwin worked at.
15:26I think that's where they first met.
15:28So it's unlikely to be his money.
15:29Do we know anything about her family?
15:32Yeah. Mrs. Godwin told me once her parents were farmers.
15:34They definitely weren't rich.
15:36So she didn't inherit it?
15:38Could the money have something to do with the crime she talks about in this letter?
15:41The one connected to St. Vincent's?
15:43Officer Rose, give your mum a call. See if it sparks a memory or something, yeah?
15:46Cool. But all of this is a bit odd, because it's nothing like Mrs. Godwin.
15:53I mean, two million dollars? That's crazy.
15:56She wasn't that kind of person.
15:58Once we're done here, we're gonna go and search Mrs. Godwin's house.
16:01Also, we've emailed everyone on the St. Vincent's weekly newsletter
16:04to see if any of the parishioners saw anything suspicious yesterday.
16:08Okay, thank you.
16:11Sir, that was the solicitor handling Sylvie Godwin's will.
16:15It seems Mrs. Godwin has left everything to Hector Moyse.
16:21Oh, so this guy's just become a millionaire?
16:25It appears so, sir.
16:27What do we know about him?
16:28He's a fisherman, or was.
16:31But he hasn't worked for the last 18 months or so due to an injury out at sea.
16:36So, if he's had no income for almost two years, then, then, two million's gonna come in very handy.
16:48I don't know either. It's all a bit crazy right now.
16:51Mum, I'll speak to you later. I gotta go.
16:53I'll leave you to his inspector. No worries, Commissioner.
16:56Sir, I just got off the phone to my mother, and she has no idea what Sylvie Godwin was talking
17:01about in that letter.
17:02Well, if anything else comes to mind, you'll let me know, yeah?
17:05All right.
17:07Where are they going?
17:08To interview Hector Moyse. He's a possible suspect now.
17:12Hector? A suspect? He's a good guy. He wouldn't kill anybody, let alone Sylvie Godwin. She was like a mother
17:19to him.
17:19Well, these are the questions we have to ask. It's what we do, without fear or favor, remember?
17:30That used to be my boat. There. Spent more time to get on me and her than anyone else.
17:38And then, some doctor you don't even know, writes a certificate saying you can do it no more.
17:47Well, how are your finances? Now you're not working.
17:50I'm struggling.
17:51All right.
17:52No one wants to employ a guy who only knows how to do one thing in his life.
17:57Yeah, but that will change us now, doesn't it? Excuse me? What?
18:01Uh, Mr Moyse, you inherit the bulk of Sylvie Godwin's estate, and don't tell us you didn't know.
18:07Her solicitor told us Mrs Godwin informed you when she made the will a few years back.
18:11Yeah, I knew. But she got hardly nothing. Just her house, which is a few tens of thousands.
18:16You think I'd kill for that? You're telling us she didn't let you know what was in her will?
18:20No. Why?
18:24It's more than just her house.
18:262.4 million dollars more.
18:30I'm sorry, what?
18:33Is this a joke?
18:34Funny how things turn out, eh?
18:36Yeah.
18:36I didn't know she had that kind of money. I swear to you, she never mentioned a word
18:40to me about it. Look, I get it. I get how it looks to you. I need money. Badly, I'm
18:46desperate.
18:47But, I had no idea Sylvie was loaded like that. So why would I kill her?
18:53¶ You found maybe a time machine in Mrs Godwin's office.
19:04Oh, it's a computer.
19:08Have you done those yet?
19:10No, not yet.
19:10Okay, you do that and I'll do this.
19:12Cool.
19:18well it seems to be working so I noticed your dad wasn't around yesterday if you don't mind
19:25me asking is he yeah he um he passed away I'm so sorry how old were you 11 that's so
19:38young
19:38it must have been hard really hard you know yeah my first lesson in pain but seeing my mother rise
19:50up
19:51every morning after that that showed me what true love looks like you know made us closer a team you
20:10can tell the Belchard diptyp you know what a diptyp is yeah it's um used to measure oil in the
20:18car you
20:18know you dip it in take it out I said diptyp you're trying to say dipstick right diptyp the painting
20:25or
20:25carving on two panels usually hinge like a book oh you mean diptyp yeah man we know about diptyp and
20:33empty yeah well apparently this Belchard diptyp is rare priceless kind of rare yeah why was Sylvie
20:42interested in this let's check her search history why watch her she searched the hell out of it this
20:57was three days ago Friday the day before she posted that letter to the commissioner the Belchard diptyp is
21:09a rare French panel painting from the Middle Ages each panel measures 50 by 30 centimeters rare so it's
21:16worth some coinage hmm it's worth major coinage if anybody could find it it went missing from France
21:22during the Second World War and here it is it's believed the diptyp was taken from a museum in Paris
21:28by a young German soldier called Joseph Krauss they reckon he brought that same painting over here to the
21:34Caribbean when the Vichy government sends a new governor to Martini Krauss and a couple of other
21:40German soldiers accompanied him and what happened to it when he came here why John oh but Joseph
21:48Krauss he fled the region when we are finished and the painting never resurfaced and some historians
21:54believe that Krauss hid the Belchard diptych on one of the smaller neighboring islands like Saint Marie
22:01right so our victim was looking into this Belchard diptych and the next day sent a letter to the
22:08commissioner saying she wanted to put right a wrong that took place many years before at St Vincent's
22:13Church and 24 hours later Sylvie was murdered in the church with both doors locked from the inside she
22:21also had over two million dollars in her bank account and we've no idea how she got that money but
22:26if she
22:27came into possession of this painting then maybe that could explain why she ended up so rich okay
22:36let's keep digging yeah and DS Thomas get in touch with the commissioner because if there's any truth
22:42in it this could be a big deal everything all right it's just like first Hector then Mrs. Godwin it's
23:06all it's all a bit much right now
23:11Sylvie was all about doing the right thing you should have said so no because it's like you said
23:17right without fear our favor so it's not right me defending her is it even if I know it's the
23:23truth
23:25that if this case is too close to home it's okay to take a step back no it's cool Sarge
23:31it's cool I
23:32really want to have to get to the bottom of this facility yeah sure yeah all right then I'll see
23:39you
23:39tomorrow morning yeah all right take care of yourself
23:48all right thanks for letting me know Mrs. Martin you have yourself a good evening sir that was one of
23:57the
23:57parishioners from St. Vincent's received the email we sent out asking if anyone saw anything suspicious
24:03yesterday says she saw a woman outside the church yesterday morning parked up in a hire car never seen
24:10her at St. Vincent's before description it was a silver vehicle with logos for Kariba car hire the woman
24:17looked in her 50s with shoulder length blonde hair not much of a tan apparently so with the higher car

31:47straight but sarge i need to finish i know i know but you're not helping right now we can't work
31:53like this
31:57all right sarge all right
32:07thanks for coming in miss bascombe please take a seat walter godwin was my grandfather
32:13he was stationed on saint marie during the second world war when the war ended he wrote to my
32:21grandmother who was pregnant with my father at the time saying that he wasn't coming home that it
32:27was over between them and he knew she was pregnant yes except i don't think it was him who wrote
32:34that
32:35letter i think it was someone else but um i found this on the st vincent's church website
32:42it's the day that's walter godwin got married to sylvie well that's sylvie but that's not walter godwin
32:52that that's not my grandfather see that's not the same man
33:02so you realized that someone might have stolen your grandfather's identity i know they did
33:09and you came here to saint marie to find out who this other walter godwin was that's why you're at
33:16the church sunday morning to speak with sylvie godwin
33:23mrs godwin
33:28so how did she react when you suggested that the man who she'd been married to for 60 odd years
33:33may not be who she thought he was she already knew
33:38she said that she'd only just found out herself that week
33:43how well her her plumber had found a box hidden under the floorboards when he was fixing a pipe
33:50i'll find out which plumber sylvie said it had the true identity of her husband in it all his
33:57personal documents making clear what happened to my grandfather which was what
34:04she wouldn't tell me she said that she wasn't ready yet and that she wanted to do it in her
34:10own time
34:11and in her own way whatever that meant
34:17i think it meant she wanted to go to the police first about it which must have frustrated you coming
34:23all this way to be denied the truth this is my family you have no right to keep this to
34:27yourself
34:29sorry i can't help you
34:33and in that moment caught up in it all that's when you must have decided
34:37no i wouldn't really i wouldn't i just left i was angry but i didn't want to hurt her i
34:45just wanted
34:45to know what was in that box and now she's dead and i don't know where it is
35:00so if sylvie had this box she talked about where is it because it wasn't at the crime scene
35:07and it wasn't at her house and if someone did steal water godwin's identity who and what happened to the
35:14real water godwin i just got off the phone with a plumber who was over at the victim's house last
35:18friday
35:19said sylvie looked haunted after she looked inside that box
35:27about an hour later she was getting inside a taxi saying she needed to go to saint vincent's primary
35:32school
35:36she went to see yasmin seeley
35:43okay i'm gonna lay out miss seeley i believe it's you who has the missing box sylvie's we could get
35:50a
35:50search warrant or
36:08it's a german passport
36:12from the second world war it looks like belong to joseph krauss it's believed the diptych was taken
36:19from a museum in paris by a young german soldier called joseph krauss the last visa stamp show he left
36:25martinique at the end of the war and came to saint marie
36:31saint marie times september 27th 1945 it's a report about an unnamed british soldier getting into a fight
36:41with a group of german naval officers and left for dead near saint vincent's church his body was never
36:48found i believe that soldier was walter godwin and i think joseph krauss came across his body
36:56joseph realized he could steal his identity if he could dispose of the body without it being found
37:04a map of the saint vincent churchyard
37:08that must be where the real walter godwin was buried he took walter's uniform and papers and buried
37:14him there in this grave so no one would ever find it from that moment on joseph krauss was walter
37:22godwin
37:23i guess he softened his accent as much as he could and by the time he and sylvie met about
37:2815 years
37:28later and he seemed like the englishman she thought he was we need to get a forensic big team over
37:34from
37:34guadalu i'm assuming mr krauss went to all these lengths because of this the belshaw diptych i mean if
37:47authorities worked out he stole it and came looking for him then with a new identity they wouldn't find
37:52him from what i know he lived a simple life working as a caretaker for this school and when he
37:59and sylvie
37:59met everyone always said they truly loved each other that was the day she retired handed the baton over to
38:09me
38:12why have you got this box miss sylvie
38:16sylvie brought it with her when she came here on friday i asked her if i could keep it so
38:20i could look
38:20into it some more that's all it's entirely innocent not if you didn't tell us about it it isn't
38:26actually that's suspicious why did you choose to keep it to yourself
38:35this school is everything to me
38:39and i can't risk his reputation being damaged
38:43you're struggling enough as it is financially
38:47all we have to keep going is donations people's goodwill and if it ever got out that we had a
38:52caretaker working here that wasn't who we thought he was was a a nazi soldier who covered up a murder
39:02so you killed miss godwin to stop all this no no no i'm very sorry i should have told you
39:08about it i
39:09know but i didn't kill her
39:20so if joseph kraus sold the belshar diptych and had all that money then why he never do nothing with
39:28it
39:28never spend it nothing perhaps he kept it just in case i mean if the truth ever caught up with
39:34him
39:35then he had the means to change his identity again afternoon sergeant thomas
39:44the trouble is we're still no closer to working out who murdered sylvie godwin
39:49and then managed to exit the building when both the front and back door were locked from the inside
39:54with keys inside the lock
39:59he's buried here my grandfather we believe so yes
40:23officer rose inspector hey um sorry i'll just uh take in a moment you know
40:34i'll give you some space no no no no you're all right i was just coming in to see if
40:38i could
40:39make any more sense of it all me too i guess and
40:45not much usually i find it levels me out i can feel peace here
40:57no sorry i haven't been much use in this investigation it's just been a lot for me you
41:01know i mean look we all have cases that um throw us off balance from time to time
41:06when i've had more than my fair share trust me right see when i'm thrown by a kiss my brain
41:13just
41:15starts jumping around like some itchy footed grasshopper you know well
41:25maybe that is your unique selling point so i'd say embrace it own it don't let it own you
41:35in fact you know what let's try it let's try it right now yeah oh we visualize it only this
41:42time
41:43you are taking the lead okay come on up you get that's it
41:51okay this is the crime scene the murder of sylvie godwin
41:56that door the front door is locked from the inside the keys in the door
42:05sylvie's body is here
42:09this big wooden cross is on top of her
42:15now come on just freestyle it yeah just say whatever your brain wants to say
42:21um i'm thinking about when i busted the door open
42:25i hurt mom you know when i got home it was all bruised up so i drank some rum to
42:30numb the pain
42:34what that also means it was definitely locked
42:41okay okay what else well then if you were the killer you'll probably prefer to leave the scene
42:49at the back yeah yeah keep going keep going so that way you're less likely to be seen by others
42:53so um
42:54maybe we're in the wrong room the back room come on
43:08so what's she saying to you this room what was it telling you
43:17what collection box it's just usually it sits right there under the shelf
43:24no one looks like it's being 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 passed down 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 must have
43:56put
43:56it there that won't go in
44:02the 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
44:13that tick a painting or a caravan on two panels usually hinge like a book
44:19local art historians generally leave 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 solved it
44:39i did that coin explains everything okay let's move people there's still some things we need to do
44:46like get hold of a search warrant and we need the luminol oh and we need a tape measure
44:52why do we need a tape measure to measure something
45:02way 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 godwin
45:21and 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
45:49this spray luminal it takes traces of blood and this proves that there was blood on the box
45:55recently 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 the
46:14murder it has led me to believe that sylvie godwin's killer was yasmin seeley
46:24what have you done that's not true
46:30someone else must have taken it on them don't worry miss seeley we'll be coming to this in a minute
46:39throughout this case we've worked on the assumption that sylvie godwin's husband
46:43real name joseph krauss had sold the painting he had stolen which explains why he had so much money in
46:51his bank account well it's half the truth because the unique defining thing about a diptych is that
46:58there are two halves to it diptych a painting or a carving on two panels usually hinge like a book
47:04and we now know that joseph krauss sold only one half of the belshare diptych and he kept the other
47:13half
47:21witness me now we'll never fully know why joseph separated the two panels my sense is that he was
47:30someone who liked 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 which is now
48:07your office miss sealy
48:13joseph cross must have put it there during his years as caretaker and no one ever thought anything
48:19of it this faded religious icon hanging on the wall of a church school surrounded by other religious images
48:28earlier today miss sealy when we talked in your office that was the day she retired i saw that
48:35framed photo on the wall of sylvie and walter and i happened to notice the outline of a larger rectangle
48:42around that frame where the paint hadn't faded clearly another picture had previously hung there for
48:47some time i didn't think much of it at first but i had it measured and guess what it was
48:5550 centimeters
48:57by 30 centimeters the exact same dimensions as one half of the bell shore dipped in each panel measures
49:0450 by 30 centimeters that's why mrs godwin came to see you when she found the box and realized what
49:13was hanging on her old office wall we can't keep it i gotta let the police know but you didn't
49:21agree
49:22did you you told us your school was struggling for money but we had a bit of a dig and
49:29it's it's worse
49:30than that you've not drawn a salary in the last six months to keep it going you said yourself the
49:38place
49:38meant so much to you and so the prospect of getting millions of dollars just landing in your lap
49:46you well you just weren't willing to give that up and so after driving home to pick up food for
49:54laurette's lunch gathering you returned to the church to plead with sylvie one more time please don't do
50:00it that money it could help the school so much could help me but sylvie wasn't for turning was she
50:08i'm
50:09desperate as officer rose said she always tried to do good in life and she wasn't
50:15about to stop now sorry so in that moment desire for the money got the better of you
50:21and you decided you were going to stop her i assume sylvie had that box with her in the church
50:25that day
50:27and 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
50:54you made your escape via the rear using the church's spare back door key
50:59that you took from the back room to lock the door from the outside and placing
51:06this little coin in the lock
51:15it's locked so that when you returned with officer rose and laurette that won't go in and with the
51:21little play acting it would seem like the door was locked from the inside the keys in on the other
51:27side then when officer rose and his mom headed round to the front you lingered briefly and proceeded to open
51:34the door with the church's spare key pushing this coin out in the process and then inserting that key
51:42inside
51:44all you had to do was find a moment to actually lock it okay thank you
51:51i'm going to sign it to be 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
52:09and 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
52:38are right for me in the morning post
52:45officer rose i think mr rest has your name on it
52:54get up
52:57he has my ceiling i'm arresting you for the murder of sylvie government you don't need to say

53:26you all right i can't believe what that woman's dog poor sylvie
53:37and just for money i'm sorry for getting it wrong no you haven't seen me at my best on this
53:45case
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
53:59like your mother keeping secrets and honestly mom i think it's helping you moving on i don't
54:07think you should be getting old and lonely and just focusing on me and the church you know
54:12you deserve happiness too
