Part 1: THE KILLING OF MIDAS - The Murder of Sir Harry Oakes

Murder. Power. A Cover-Up That Reaches to the Highest Circles.

The white sands of Nassau and the turquoise waters of the Bahamas seemed like paradise. But behind the closed doors of Westbourne, the lavish estate of gold magnate Sir Harry Oakes, a nightmare was unfolding.

On the morning of July 8, 1943, one of the wealthiest men in the British Empire was found dead—his skull shattered, his body burned, his bedroom transformed into a grotesque crime scene. Blood streaked the walls, scorched feathers clung to his skin, and a mysterious fire had failed to erase the evidence. The man who had built an empire from gold had met a death that was anything but golden.

The murder of Sir Harry Oakes sent shockwaves across the world. His fortune had made him untouchable. His power had placed him in the company of kings, politicians, and criminals alike. And his influence had drawn the attention of one of the most controversial figures in modern royal history—The Duke of Windsor, the former King Edward VIII.

Who killed Sir Harry Oakes? Was it revenge? Greed? A sinister effort to silence him forever? Or was it something even more chilling—a conspiracy that reached into the heart of the British establishment?

The crime of the century remains unsolved. But the fire meant to destroy the truth left behind only more questions.

In The Killing of Midas, Ontario Cold Cases unravels one of the most perplexing, brutal, and politically charged murders of the 20th century. This is just the beginning.
