The deeper Sarah investigates, the more versions of Admiral Peter Cowell she uncovers. Online profiles, official-looking biographies, and a growing trail of uniforms and honours paint a picture that keeps shifting with every click. In this episode, Sarah traces how Cowell’s public image evolved — from early job titles to later claims of international rank — and examines the psychology behind reinvention. How does a story take hold, and why do so many accomplished people accept it at face value? As new evidence emerges from emails, websites, and interviews, Sarah starts to see how credibility can be built one carefully placed detail at a time.

⚓️ S2 | E4 — TORPEDOING THE TRUTH The deeper Sarah dives, the murkier the waters become.In this episode, she begins piecing together IntSAR’s shifting history — from early company records to its modern-day reincarnation — uncovering documents that raise questions about what was promised, what was delivered, and what might have been imagined. As veterans and former insiders recount their experiences, one thing becomes clear: truth can be slippery when wrapped in uniforms, titles, and purpose. With every new discovery, Sarah edges closer to understanding how an organisation claiming to save lives could leave so many people adrift.

⚓️ S2 | E3 — YOUR EYES ONLY A letter marked For Your Eyes Only lands in Sarah’s inbox — and with it, a deeper look into the promises, paperwork, and personalities surrounding IntSAR, the International Sea Air Rescue Service. This episode uncovers the inner workings of a supposed global humanitarian organisation that aimed to unite nations under one rescue command. But as Sarah follows the trail of official-looking documents, job offers, and private messages, she begins to question: where do the facts end, and the fiction begin? Through conversations with insiders and veterans who believed in IntSAR’s mission, The BADmiral continues to explore how good people can get swept up in big visions — and why it’s so difficult to spot red flags when you’re already invested.

S2 | E2 — RED FLAGS ON THE HORIZON A uniform, a hangar, and a promise that sounds almost too ambitious to be true.As Sarah continues to investigate IntSAR – the International Sea Air Rescue Service and its self-described leader Admiral Peter Cowell, two retired detectives share their first-hand encounter — a meeting that left more questions than answers.

With Andrew in Australia and out of our reach, we get creative....or maybe a little desperate!  In the last Episode We explored Andrew's past in Hobart, Tasmania. By the end of May, police are still building the case against him. Andrew had fled the country and was apparently living in Australia.

This episode was put together after the first episode was released and those, who had previously been impacted by Andrew Tonks actions, reached out to us. Dr Muir shares her insight into what behaviour we should really question and how important it is to be able to see patterns in behaviour. In the last Episode We heard from Fabian Christoph, who sold his restaurant to Andrew Tonks. He had purchased the restaurant using a truck worth $150 000AUD as security....a truck he didn't actually own.

If past behaviour is a predictor of present behaviour, can we learn anything from Andrew's? In the last Episode We uncovered Andrew's involvement with Queenstown Restaurant, a deal that meant for Tony, the owner, he would be selling his flagship restaurant for a cool seven-figure sum.  And for Tom, Andrew's investor and would-be Chef, it meant the funds he was days away from borrowing from his family to pay the deposit was saved from getting tangled in a Tonker turd storm.  Resources Mercury - April 12th 2015 Mercury - June 28th 2015 From Sarah Ferris Media, creators of award-winning independent podcasts. 🎧 Listen ad-free, get early access, and unlock bonus content: 👉 ⁠Subscribe on Apple Podcasts⁠ 👉 Join us on Patreon → ⁠patreon.com/conmunity⁠ 🌐 More from Sarah Ferris Media: ⁠SarahFerrisMedia.com⁠ Follow on Instagram → ⁠@conmunitypodcast⁠ 🎙️ Explore our other shows: ⁠Stop the Killing⁠ — with former FBI agent Katherine Schweit ⁠Watching Two Detectives⁠ — true crime through the eyes of those who solved it ⁠Guilty Greenie⁠ — sustainability without the guilt trip ⁠Klooghless – The Long Con⁠ — an award-winning deep dive into New Zealand’s biggest financial deception ⁠The Bravery Academy⁠ — stories of courage, resilience, and what it really means to be brave Join Emma ⁠⁠@thebreatheffect⁠⁠ on Facebook and Instagram To learn the tools that Emma used to help both survive and thrive through trauma join Emma on one of her amazing online courses.

The New Zealand police were slowly but surely building that case against Andrew Tonks. And as far as we knew, Andrew, although he seemed a little suspicious, he didn't know that the net was closing in around him. But what he did know is that his house of cards had a few rather large cracks appearing in the foundations. In the last Episode Emma had just received a text from Andrew outlining his latest scheme to repay his debt to her.  And so it was that Andrew Tonks, the world's most unassuming spy, was forced out of retirement to complete one last very dangerous mission, a mission so dangerous that payment for it would clear his debt to Emma in its entirety and some.

We rejoin the story with Emma digesting the aftermath and calculating the cost of Andrew's deception. He still had a sizeable chunk of her money and getting it back was not going to be for the fainthearted. A plan was percolating, it was time to Con the Con. In the last Episode For the last six months, Andrew Tonks had been playing a game of chess with my sister Emma and up until the 9th of April 2019, she had no idea that she was playing it, let alone that Andrew was almost at checkmate.  In the previous episodes, unbeknownst to Andrew, Emma had discovered his real identity. Fight or flight kicked in ..... Emma chose to fight. She had swung into action to recover the money that had been transferred into his account only the day before. However, to have any chance of retrieving the money she couldn't let on that she knew his true identity. And so operation "Bank Transfer" swung into action.
