The Dunning Canoe-ger Effect
About this episode
The episode explores the bizarre case of John Darwin, who reappears after being presumed dead, raising questions about truth and deception.
When John Darwin walks into a shop in London, it causes an instant stir. After all, John Darwin has been dead for five years. He claims to have amnesia, but everyone - from the police and the media to his insurance company - suspects he is lying. No one can prove a thing, until a young woman at home with her baby thinks of something everyone else has missed.
