Henry Every | The Manhunt for the Most Infamous Pirate in History

So remember these two names, Defoe and Tennyson, because...

I'm going to offer a glimpse into this very intricate web of spies because otherwise it goes very deep.

Red Web
Henry Every | The Manhunt for the Most Infamous Pirate in History

But the theory is that every might have been just another spy in this web.

Like I said, Cohen's wife discovered this letter while they were looking for information on the Dutch East India Company traders.

Unfortunately, like I said, half of the letter is illegible because of the numeric code.

Henry Every | The Manhunt for the Most Infamous Pirate in History

Cohen and Kingsley have tried for years to decode this letter with no luck.

In fact, I'll give you an example task force just in case your buff minds can try to figure this out.

Here's just one line from this letter.

It says, I am not the least concerned for tank 29 FB26 being out of T92-11597.

Basically, they are censoring the proper nouns out of the sentence.

So, I'm not the least concerned for blank being out of blank.

Henry Every | The Manhunt for the Most Infamous Pirate in History

could mean anything, but it sounds to me like I'm not concerned for so-and-so because they're from this place or they're coming out of such and such.

Henry Every | The Manhunt for the Most Infamous Pirate in History

But again, without context, it's hard to say, but it's just weird because they don't have a cipher for this.

Henry Every | The Manhunt for the Most Infamous Pirate in History

And so we might not ever know what this note says.

Red Web
Henry Every | The Manhunt for the Most Infamous Pirate in History

That's such a wild transition.

Red Web
Henry Every | The Manhunt for the Most Infamous Pirate in History

It does feel like, to say it again, a romanticized story.

Red Web
Henry Every | The Manhunt for the Most Infamous Pirate in History

It does.

Red Web
Henry Every | The Manhunt for the Most Infamous Pirate in History

But in my mind, I mean, it does make sense as far as certain locations are concerned.

Red Web
Henry Every | The Manhunt for the Most Infamous Pirate in History

And heck, maybe the Royal Navy did find him.

Henry Every | The Manhunt for the Most Infamous Pirate in History

And maybe I'm in agreement with you that they would want to make a message out of this person.
