The Peter Bergmann Case: He Spent Three Days Erasing Himself on Camera - Video

In June 2009 a man checked into a hotel in Sligo, Ireland under the name Peter Bergmann and a Vienna address that does not exist. Over the next three days the town's CCTV cameras recorded him walking Sligo with a purple plastic bag and returning without whatever had been inside it, sixteen separate trips, always at the edge of the cameras when the bag emptied. Nothing he disposed of was ever recovered. On the morning of 16 June a father and son found his body at the waterline on Rosses Point beach. Every label had been cut out of every item of his clothing. He had advanced cancer and tumours in his bones but no painkillers in his system, and had died of heart failure. There was no wallet, no keys, no luggage and no phone. His fingerprints and DNA matched nothing anywhere. Ireland buried him in an unmarked grave, and four police officers attended the funeral because otherwise nobody would have.
