Dead in the Water

In July 1978, the bodies of young doctor Chris Farmer and his girlfriend Peta Frampton washed up floating off the coast of Guatemala.
They had been tortured, tied up and weighed down with engine parts.
In a last letter to their loved ones, they wrote that they were about to embark for Honduras with an American and their two children.
Nearly 40 years after the trail of their killer went cold, an elderly man’s Facebook page on the other side of the world provided a grisly discovery….

This tense and atmospheric documentary series from Raw, creators of Don’t F**k with Cats and The Tinder Swindler, reveals how a British journalist, Penny Farmer, struggled to identify her brother’s killer.
Packed with cliffhangers and extraordinary twists, it tells the astonishing story of how Penny tracked down the ship’s captain, Silas Boston, and his two sons, Russell and Vince, to finally uncover the terrible truth about what happened to her brother aboard Boston’s ship.
