Heir Hunters

Series 3

Episode 21: Hanafy/Williams

Duration: 45 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One WestLatest broadcast: on BBC One Wales

Anthony Williams died aged 82 in his run-down Dunstable home. An intensely private man in later life, he was once an RAF serviceman. When it comes to tracing his heirs, Fraser and Fraser has its work cut out, not least because Williams is the third most common surname in the country. As the investigation moves forward it's revealed that Anthony's sister is still alive. Why did the pair lose touch, and how will she react to the news of his death?

The extraordinary case of Joyce Hanafy takes the team into a different world. Joyce died in 2006 in a nondescript nursing home in Wandsworth, London, yet she owned a million-pound property in Putney. The team is soon immersed in a world of glamour, professional modelling and even wartime espionage. As one revelation follows another, Neil Fraser is forced to head for the backstreets of Cairo.
