Death in the Arctic: Franklin's Lost Expedition - Part 2

For more than a century, the Arctic was assumed to be keeping Franklin's secret; but it wasn't. The native Inuit people who lived there had been telling the story all along. And yet for decades, another idea dominated the investigation; lead poisoning, bad tins. But what if the evidence tells a different story? What if Franklin's men weren't brought down by a single fatal mistake—but by a catastrophe far more complicated than anyone imagined? In the second part of the Franklin story, we ask what really helped kill him and his men. Buried Evidence is part of The Crime Desk.
