krone.at: "Krone" verrät, was aus unserem Staats-Gold wurde

Können wir in unseren Goldreserven, wie Dagobert Duck das ja so gerne tut, noch immer "baden", oder sind die vielen Tonnen des kostbaren Metalls in Zeiten wie diesen genauso futsch wie unsere Steuermilliarden oder verspekulierte Wahnsinnsbeträge? Diese Frage stellt sich deshalb, weil die Österreichische Nationalbank zuletzt über die Aufbewahrung der österreichischen Goldreserven nichts Genaues sagen wollte oder vielleicht auch gar nicht konnte.

John Leake: Cold A Long Time: An Alpine Mystery


COLD A LONG TIME by John Leake
In August of 1989, twenty-three-year-old Duncan MacPherson—a pro hockey player from Canada—vanished without a trace in Central Europe. To his parents, Lynda and Bob, nothing about his disappearance made sense. With no help from the police, they drove all over the Alps looking him, and then finally found his car parked near the gondola station of the Stubai Glacier, a popular ski resort in Austria. Thus began their twenty-two year struggle to find out why Duncan had disappeared—a true story as strange and full of unexpected twists as a season of The Twilight Zone.

In 2009 they asked author John Leake to help them in their ongoing search for answers. Now, after a two-year investigation, Leake has finally discovered what happened to Duncan MacPherson, and why his death was covered up by the Stubai Glacier and high ranking officials in Innsbruck, Austria.

Cold a Long Time: An Alpine Mystery recounts the tragic odyssey of the MacPherson family. It is a story about enduring love, perseverance, and the irrepressible desire to know the truth, literally at all cost. It is also the story of an incredibly elaborate and twisted deception.
Leake’s findings are the subject of the television documentary A Cold Case, produced by the fifth estate—Canada’s premier investigative journalism program, which will air on November 25, 2011. http://www.cbc.ca/fifth/

CBC Fifth Estate: A Cold Case

In the summer of 1989, Duncan MacPherson was setting off to start a new life as a hockey coach in Europe. But the 23-year-old Saskatoon native and former NHL first-round draft pick took a holiday detour to snowboard in the Austrian Alps and then vanished -- for 14 years.

That disappearance plunged his family into a twenty-year search for the truth. Duncan's body was finally discovered in 2003, found frozen in a crevasse on a glacier near a popular ski run. Austrian police and operators of the Innsbruck-area resort have long maintained it a closed case -- claiming MacPherson's death was just an accident, the result of his venturing away from the safety of the designated course and into dangerous terrain.
