Part 3 - MURDER IN PARADISE: THE UNSOLVED MURDER OF SIR HARRY OAKES


Scandal, Power, and the Cover-Up That Shook the British Empire

A millionaire bludgeoned to death in his bed. His body drenched in gasoline, feathers scattered across the corpse, and a fire set to erase the evidence. But the flames never took hold. The body remained, and with it—a mystery that has haunted the world for over 80 years.

This wasn’t just any murder. This was the brutal killing of Sir Harry Oakes—Canada’s richest prospector-turned-tax exile, a man who built a fortune in gold and sought refuge in the sun-drenched Bahamas. But in July 1943, paradise turned into a nightmare.

The murder should have been solved. The evidence was there. The Bahamian police were ready. But the case was hijacked by none other than the Duke of Windsor—formerly King Edward VIII—who bypassed local authorities and installed two shady detectives from Miami to lead the investigation. Within hours, they had a suspect.

Their scapegoat? Alfred de Marigny, Oakes’s son-in-law—a dashing, rebellious playboy who had married Oakes’s daughter against his wishes. The key evidence? A single, perfect fingerprint.
But there was just one problem… it was a fake.

In The Duke’s Shadow (Part 2), we uncovered how the case against de Marigny fell apart. The fingerprint was planted. The crime scene was tampered with. Key evidence vanished. De Marigny was acquitted, but instead of reopening the investigation, authorities shut the case down. No one else was ever charged.

Now, in Murder in Paradise (Part 3), we go even deeper.

šŸ”Ž What happened to the missing evidence?


šŸ”Ž Why did the Duke of Windsor flee the Bahamas before the trial ended?


šŸ”Ž Who stood to gain the most from Oakes’s death?

And most importantly—who really killed Sir Harry Oakes?

Was it:


šŸ’° Harold Christie—Oakes’s closest business associate, who owed him a fortune and was caught lying about his whereabouts that night?


šŸŽ² Meyer Lansky—the notorious American mob boss, desperate to turn Nassau into a gambling empire?


šŸ’€ A hired assassin—brought in for a ritualistic killing, as some historians suggest?


šŸ’¼ The Duke of Windsor himself—covering up a conspiracy that could have exposed high-level financial corruption, Nazi ties, or war-time smuggling operations?

Join us as we unravel one of the most chilling, scandalous, and unsolved murders of the 20th century.

šŸ’¬ Who do YOU think killed Sir Harry Oakes?

Because every case is cold… until someone decides to open it again.

Ontario Cold Cases - Special Edition: Rinse ’N’ Repeat | Patreon   Home invasions, homicide, car theft show need for bail reform - Toronto Sun Less than a year after bail reform tinkering, Canada's premiers tell Trudeau he hasn't gone far enough. Terms like bail and probation don’t mean much these days, not in Justin Trudeau’s catch-and-release justice system. A horrific homicide in British Columbia and a car-theft ring in Ontario may not seem related, but on this front they are.
