Episode 3 - Vince Boston and Arthene O'Brien
Two bodies found hogtied in the sea off Guatemala in 1978 are identified as a British couple. Vince tells us how his father not only murdered them but also Vince's mother.
In 1978 the bodies of a young male and female couple were found hogtied and drowned off Guatemala鈥檚 Caribbean coast. Nine months later they were identified as British graduates Peta Frampton and Chris Farmer.
Police in Manchester quickly focused in on an American called Silas Duane Boston who had offered to sail Chris and Peta from Belize to Costa Rica on board his boat, the Justin B.
Boston鈥檚 boat never reached Costa Rica and he fled back to California with his two young sons soon after the murders. So why did it take 38 years to arrest him 鈥� and how could he maintain his innocence when both his boys were telling the FBI they saw him do it?
In this programme, featuring extended interviews taken from the original podcast series, Vince - one of Boston's sons - tells us how his father not only murdered Chris and Peta but also Vince's mother. Boston鈥檚 half-sister Arthene also recalls growing up with Boston.
