The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - The Case of the Out of Date Murder

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go to Eastbourne for a much needed rest. After the third day there, Holmes went to pay a visit to his good friend, Professor Evan Whittle, curator of a nearby museum. During the after-lunch meeting, Holmes and Watson sat and listened to the Professor telling them of his recent discoveries "As I was excavating in this neighborhood, I was fortunate enough to discover a number of underground caves saturated with a heavy deposit of lime, which, as you know, has the property of rapidly mummifying any flesh human or animal deposited". Subsequently, Lady Clavering enters the room, most anxious to meet and talk with Holmes and Watson. After the introductions, she says "five years ago, my husband left me. I have had no contact with him since then. Now, I wish to be remarried, but cannot do so without having my husband declared legally dead. Would you help me Mr. Holmes?"
