Sensing Murder
The Great Pretender - Garth Doull
S2 • E9 Oct 30, 2007 90m
42 year old Garth Doull was last seen on the 17th of August boarding a ship in Wellington harbour. Police don’t know if he died on that day, or at a later stage. A newspaper found in his bedroom was dated two weeks later, suggesting he may have died after the 17th.
Police could not find a murder scene, nor could they narrow down a motive for murder. Garth had swindled many people, but he was a small time crook and police did not believe he’d angered enough to warrant them killing him. Garth’s sisters, who are still traumatised by his murder, remember a scared Garth fleeing Auckland shortly before his death. Did his past catch up with him somehow?
In The Great Pretender, presented by Rebecca Gibney, psychics Deb Webber and Kelvin Cruickshank attempt to tune into Garth Doull’s spirit to answer the questions that have baffled police for all these years. When did Garth die? How did he die? Where? Why? And who killed him?
