Conning the Con

S2 | E2 — RED FLAGS ON THE HORIZON A uniform, a hangar, and a promise that sounds almost too ambitious to be true. As Sarah continues to investigate IntSAR – the International Sea Air Rescue Service and its self-described leader Admiral Peter Cowell , two retired detectives share their first-hand encounter — a meeting that left more questions than answers.

When a podcast listener contacts Sarah with a story about a man calling himself Admiral Peter Cowell , curiosity quickly turns into an investigation. At the centre is an ambitious organisation called IntSAR – the International Sea Air Rescue Service , presented as a global humanitarian project with a military-style structure. Its mission sounds noble — but some of the details don’t quite align. In...

With Andrew in Australia and out of our reach, we get creative....or maybe a little desperate!  In the last Episode We explored Andrew's past in Hobart, Tasmania. By the end of May, police are still building the case against him. Andrew had fled the country and was apparently living in Australia. He has told Emma he is working for the government as a spy and was going into one serious last mission...

This episode was put together after the first episode was released and those, who had previously been impacted by Andrew Tonks actions, reached out to us. Dr Muir shares her insight into what behaviour we should really question and how important it is to be able to see patterns in behaviour. In the last Episode We heard from Fabian Christoph, who sold his restaurant to Andrew Tonks. He had purchas...

If past behaviour is a predictor of present behaviour, can we learn anything from Andrew's? In the last Episode We uncovered Andrew's involvement with Queenstown Restaurant, a deal that meant for Tony, the owner, he would be selling his flagship restaurant for a cool seven-figure sum.  And for Tom, Andrew's investor and would-be Chef, it meant the funds he was days away from borrowing from his fam...

The New Zealand police were slowly but surely building that case against Andrew Tonks. And as far as we knew, Andrew, although he seemed a little suspicious, he didn't know that the net was closing in around him. But what he did know is that his house of cards had a few rather large cracks appearing in the foundations. In the last Episode Emma had just received a text from Andrew outlining his lat...

We rejoin the story with Emma digesting the aftermath and calculating the cost of Andrew's deception. He still had a sizeable chunk of her money and getting it back was not going to be for the fainthearted. A plan was percolating, it was time to Con the Con. In the last Episode For the last six months, Andrew Tonks had been playing a game of chess with my sister Emma and up until the 9th of April...
