It Was a Mystery Right From the Get-Go
How did a simple stroll turn into a double homicide? Everyone wanted to know, but the scene and autopsy raised more questions than answers. Despite the fact that their heads and shoulders were above water, many assumed they had drowned. However, this notion was swiftly dismissed because the former King’s lungs contained no water. While Ludwig’s autopsy provided no substantial insights, Dr. Gudden’s body had more to tell. Upon closer examination, the coroner discovered serious injuries to the head and neck, as well as strangling marks. Something had gone very wrong, and the answer to all of their questions rested with a fisherman.

A Confession From a Fisherman
While he was King, Ludwig had a personal fisherman named Lidl. Following Lidl’s death, notes were discovered that revealed a disturbing confession. Not only did he depict the former King’s escape strategy, but he also stated that “I was made to swear an oath that I would never say certain things.” According to his notes, he was supposed to row Ludwig out to a crowd of devoted admirers. However, the plot went wrong before Ludwig ever boarded the boat. According to the fisherman, a loud shot sounded out from the bank, and Ludwig immediately dropped. This appeared to be a break in the case, but there was one major issue.
