In this episode, Dawn is joined by Kay from the podcast Fuck My Work Life, and the pair talk about the unsolved murder of 50 year old Elizabeth Mackintosh. Elizabeth Mackintosh was born in Scotland in 1940. She grew up in a devout family; her father, James, was a theology professor and later a moderator for the Free Church of Scotland. Elizabeth worked as a nurse and health visitor in Edinburgh, then a social worker in London, before moving to America. In St. Louis, she was a student at The Covenant Theological Seminary, working towards a master's degree in biblical counselling while also working part-time as a cleaner to finance her studies.Tragically, Elizabeth was found murdered in the seminary's men's toilet on 26 March 1990. The investigation into her death saw multiple suspects but ultimately remained unresolved, even as new leads emerged over the years. Despite advances in forensic technology and renewed efforts by the police, the case remains open, with the prime suspect, a fellow student and Elizabeth's cleaning supervisor, never charged due to insufficient evidence. Elizabeth's remaining family continue to seek closure for this heinous crime that took away a beloved sister and daughter. Elizabeth's life and untimely death left an indelible mark on her community and all who knew her. Her story is one of dedication, faith, and the enduring quest for justice.You can listen to Fuck My Work Life wherever you listen to your podcasts. SOURCES: Please see our website for all source material and photos at https://scottishmurders.com/episodes/elizabethmackintoshSHOW:Support Us:ko-fi.com/scottishmurdersPatreon - patreon.com/scottishmurdersMerch - teepublic.com/user/scottishmurdersWebsite - scottishmurders.comTwitter - @scottishmurdersInstagram - @scottishmurderspodcastFacebook - facebook.com/scottishmurdursYouTube - @ScottishMurdersLinktree - linktr.ee/scottishmurdersCREDITS:Scottish Murders is a production of https://www.cluarantonn.com/Hosted by Dawn YoungResearched and Written by Dawn and Kay Edited and Produced by Erin Ferguson - instagram.com/erinfergus0n/Production Company Name by Granny RobertsonMUSIC:Dawn of the Fairies by Derek & Brandon Fiechter 

In 1980 Glasgow, the Main family's world was shattered when 13-year-old Tracy was found murdered at home. Despite no signs of forced entry, Tracy's body was discovered with multiple stab wounds and signs of a struggle. The investigation quickly focused on a neighbour of the Main family who had a mental age of eight and was known as “The Creeper”. It would be his disclosure of details that had not been released to the public that led to his arrest. However, everything was not as it seemed, which led to devastating consequences for the Main family who wanted justice for their daughter.Special Guest:Robbie from Cold Tapes, an innovative, first-of-its-kind audio experience, which is part podcast, part murder mystery game; an audio whodunnit competition where you can play detective.SOURCES:Please see our website for all source material and photos at scottishmurders.com/episodes/tracymainSHOW: Support Us: ko-fi.com/scottishmurdersPatreon - patreon.com/scottishmurdersMerch - teepublic.com/user/scottishmurdersWebsite - scottishmurders.comTwitter - @scottishmurdersInstagram - @scottishmurderspodcastFacebook - facebook.com/scottishmurdursYouTube - @ScottishMurdersLinktree - linktr.ee/scottishmurders CREDITS:Scottish Murders is a production of CluarantonnHosted by Dawn YoungResearched and Written by Dawn YoungEdited and Produced by Erin FergusonProduction Company Name by Granny RobertsonMUSIC:Dawn of the Fairies by Derek & Brandon Fiechter

This week Dawn is joined by John from the Persons Unknown podcast, who tells us the story of Ann Heron's unsolved murder.Part One:In the summer of 1990, Ann Heron's life was tragically cut short. John Dobson from the Persons Unknown podcast tells the story of this unsolved murder, tracing Ann's early life in Scotland, her move to England, and her marriage to Peter Heron. On a sweltering August day, after shopping in Darlington in the North East of England, Ann returned to Aeolian House. Ann's body was later found by her husband. With no murder weapon, a questionable sexual motive, and Peter's affair complicating the investigation, the case grew cold. Key sightings of a blue car and a mysterious jogger yielded no solid leads. Despite extensive efforts, including 5000 interviews and 2700 vehicles being checked, the identity of Ann's killer remains a mystery, leaving Ann and Peter's family searching for answers.In this episode we also hear from Ann's son, Ralph Cockburn.Thank you to John Dobson from the Persons Unknown podcast for researching and narrating this episode, and to Ralph for speaking with me and giving an insight into his mum, Ann Heron.SOURCES:Please visit Persons Unknown Podcast to listen to part two now!Please see our website for all source material and photos at https://scottishmurders.com/episodes/personsunknownSHOW:Support Us:ko-fi.com/scottishmurdersPatreon - patreon.com/scottishmurdersMerch - teepublic.com/user/scottishmurdersWebsite - scottishmurders.comTwitter - @scottishmurdersInstagram - @scottishmurderspodcastFacebook - facebook.com/scottishmurdursYouTube - @ScottishMurdersLinktree - linktr.ee/scottishmurdersCREDITS:Scottish Murders is a production of https://www.cluarantonn.com/Hosted by Dawn YoungResearched and Written by John Dobson from Persons Unknown PodcastEdited and Produced by Erin Ferguson - instagram.com/erinfergus0n/ and Johm Dobson from Persons Unknown podcastProduction Company Name by Granny RobertsonMUSIC:Dawn of the Fairies by Derek & Brandon Fiechter

In 1959, teenagers James Denovan and Anthony Miller devised a scheme to rob homosexual men in Queen's Park Recreation Ground in Glasgow. They exploited the fact that homosexuality was illegal, knowing their victims would be unlikely to report the crimes.

Initially, his death was thought to be accidental, but a post-mortem revealed that John had been murdered.Promo by Foul Play Crime Series SOURCES:Please see our website for all source material and photos at https://scottishmurders.com/episodes/johncreminSHOW: Support Us: ko-fi.com/scottishmurdersPatreon - patreon.com/scottishmurdersMerch - teepublic.com/user/scottishmurdersWebsite - scottishmurders.comTwitter - @scottishmurdersInstagram - @scottishmurderspodcastFacebook - facebook.com/scottishmurdursYouTube - @ScottishMurdersLinktree - linktr.ee/scottishmurders CREDITS:Scottish Murders is a production of https://www.cluarantonn.com/Hosted by Dawn YoungResearched and Written by Dawn YoungEdited and Produced by Erin Ferguson - instagram.com/erinfergus0n/Production Company Name by Granny RobertsonMUSIC:Dawn of the Fairies by Derek & Brandon Fiechter
