Show Notes
**This Episode contains descriptions of a graphic nature. Listener discretion is advised** March the 3rd, 2012, had started like any other Saturday for the police officer on duty in London's East End. But when two men, Tony and Danny McCluskie, and their friend Nicole stepped into the station, that evening instantly turned into one of those that the officers would never forget. As soon as Tony and Danny explained that nobody had seen their sister for two days, then mentioned her name, the officers knew this was not going to be a typical missing person's case. And yet, they never imagined how horrifying and shocking the investigation into Gemma McCluskie's disappearance would be.

Friday, the 23rd of February 1968, was a cold, frost covered morning, when 67 year old Maurice Goodman, known as Morris, happened upon a figure lying on the ground on Carmichael Lane, in front of some lockup garages, not too far from Langside Place in Glasgow, Scotland. But a sight like that wasn't too uncommon after ballroom nights. Maybe someone had had a bit too much to drink, and passed out outside. But as Maurice stepped closer, intending to wake the person, he realised that this was not the case.
