Apr 2021 - Oct 2021Podcast host Dr. BonesDr. Bones is een driedelige podcastserie over een serieleugenaar, een Nederlandse man die leugen op leugen stapelt: van internationaal bekroond tennisser tot luitenant-kolonel. Uiteindelijk geeft hij zichzelf de titel forensisch patholoog, een beschermd beroep waar je meer dan tien jaar voor moet studeren. Hij stelt zich aan mensen voor als dr. Bones, zijn zelfverzonnen bijnaam. Op zijn visitekaartje staat: ‘I open corpses to close cases’. Dr. Bones wordt wereldwijd ingevlogen door een groot Amerikaans bedrijf om te helpen na grote vliegtuigrampen. Ook geeft hij les op de Politieacademie. Samen met Hansje van de Beek zoek ik in deze podcast uit hoe het deze man lukte om binnen te komen bij toonaangevende organisaties. Meer informatie via argosonderzoekt.nl/dr-bones Show less
