As we explored in our first episode covering this case, Sir Harry Oakes was a member of the "elite" class of men who migrated to the Bahamas to avoid taxes and take part in business activities that weren't on the up-and-up. This group also included two men who detested each other - the exiled aristocrat Alfred de Marigny and the Duke of Windsor, who had abdicated the British throne. In the conclusion of this two-part episode, we dive deeper into Oakes' life, possible suspects, and the unsolved story of his mysterious murder in the Bahamas.
