There are locked-room mysteries but what about a locked bag mystery? Gareth Williams was a 31-year-old codebreaker, a mathematical prodigy working in the shadow world of British intelligence, found naked, folded into a red North Face holdall bag, zipped shut, padlocked from the outside. The key was inside the bag. The room showed no obvious sign of struggle or forced entry. Agatha Christie couldn’t have set up a better murder mystery.
After years of investigation, inquest testimony, forensic reviews, and dueling official conclusions, the simplest question remains the hardest one. How did Gareth Williams end up in this locked bag?
