Where did the gold went?

 This Sunday night sees a new drama called The Good starting on BBC1. It is based around the real life robbery of a Brinks Matt warehouse where gold bullion, diamonds and cash then coming to a total of £ 26 million pounds (now it would be over £ 91 million pounds) with much of the gold unrecovered. One man who looms large over the case is John Palmer ironically nicknamed Goldfinger. He faced trial but was found not guilty. Palmer was later filmed by investigate reporter Roger Cook who Palmer issued a death threat to. Justice finally caught up with Palmer when he was found guilty of a time share fraud scheme, somehow Palmer did no have to pay his victims. In 2015 Palmer was murdered in his garden, the case remains unsolved.
