Heists, Scams & Lies, S1: The Hunt for Tamara Ecclestone's Diamonds
This high-stakes investigative series follows George Odling and Andy Jehring's years-long global hunt to uncover the masterminds behind Britain’s biggest domestic burglary–and their hunt for Tamara Ecclestone's £25 million in stolen diamonds.
Description
Bumptious, bucolic, much admired among the tailored lawns of Eastbourne’s elite, but who was Dr John Bodkin Adams really? Fundamentally, a religious man, devoted to his mother who he called ‘the most religious woman in Ireland’ who manged to transform himself from an out of depth medical student to the higher echelons of the seaside town’s social circle, a stratum of society he quietly envied and despised.
Despite this he charmed his way into the lives of the well-heeled locals, charming them into bequeathing him cars and riches, even clothing, persuading them to grant him a place in their wills before, it was said, quietly bumping them off and taking his share of their fortunes. He may have sounded and looked the polar opposite of Dr Harold Shipman, but his intentions were as bloody and bleak as Shipman’s, but only one of them seemed to know how to get away with murder.
