The Curious Case of Benjamin Bathurst
On Nov. 25, 1809, British diplomat Benjamin Bathurst was preparing to leave the small German town of Perleberg. He stood outside the inn, watching his luggage being loaded onto the carriage. Then he stepped out of the light, and was never seen again.
A nearby river was dragged, and outbuildings, woods, ditches, and marshes were searched, but no trace of Bathurst was ever found. A reward was offered for information, to no avail.
Bathurst had been urging Austria to declare war on France, but Napoleon swore on his honor that he did nothing to Bathurst. The mystery has never been solved.
