It became clear that the man calling himself Peter Bergmann had deliberately chosen Sligo as a place to come to disappear.

He gave a false name and address at the hotel. He secretly disposed of his possessions. Everything pointed to a plan to vanish into the Atlantic at night – but the autopsy revealed more hidden secrets.
