Michael Buerk and the team receive a tip-off and uncover a link to slavery.

A tip-off about an empty house prompts a search for Elizabeth Dean's heirs. Michael Buerk and the team reveal a colonial link to slavery in Henry Arthur Coke's case.

A member of the public tells a firm of probate researchers about a house left empty for years, leading Michael Buerk and the heir hunters to trace the next of kin to Elizabeth Dean. Initial clues hint towards a high-value estate but a surprising twist at the eleventh hour sees everything going to a very unlikely beneficiary. Meanwhile, while working on the case of Henry Arthur Coke, heir hunters uncover a colonial link to slavery.
