Atlantic Podcast: The Unsolved Mystery of Peter Bergmann, Episode 1: Land of Heart’s Desire

In Atlantic, an original podcast from The Irish Times, Senior Features Writer Rosita Boland explores in detail the decade-long mystery of a man who came to Sligo to disappear.

In June 2009, the body of a man was found on Rosses Point beach in Co Sligo. He had checked into a Sligo hotel five days previously using the name Peter Bergmann.

No one came forward to claim the body and gardaí in Sligo gradually began to realise they were dealing with a mystery.
