The Spy in the Bag: Who Killed Gareth Williams?

In August 2010, MI6 codebreaker Gareth Williams was found dead inside a padlocked North Face duffel bag in the bathtub of his London safe house. No fingerprints. No signs of struggle. No DNA. His phone and computers had been wiped, and weeks had passed before anyone even reported him missing. Investigators couldn't determine how the bag was locked from the inside — and a coroner ruled it would have been almost impossible to do alone. Was it a covert operation gone wrong, a personal encounter turned deadly, or something the intelligence community has never wanted the public to know? Morgan and Kaelyn unpack the secrets, the silence, and the shadowy world behind one of Britain's most baffling unsolved deaths.
