The Mystery of the Unknown Man

30/01/2017

BBC One - Panorama, The Mystery of the Unknown Man

The mystery of an elderly American man who was found lost on the streets of Hereford.

Darragh Macintyre unravels the mystery of an elderly man with an American accent who was found lost on the streets of Hereford.

The police and social services were baffled when an elderly man with an American accent was found lost on the streets of Hereford. He didn't know who he was or have any ID, and he was dressed from head to toe in brand new clothes from Tesco. He was in a nursing home before Panorama took up his case. Reporter Darragh Macintyre follows the clues to America and unravels the mystery of the unknown man - before confronting the person responsible for bringing him to Britain.
