Truly Criminal

Show Notes

On the evening of November 28th, 2004, Alistair Wilson answered a knock at the door of his family home in the quiet Scottish town of Nairn. Minutes later, he was dead. More than two decades on, investigators have pursued leads, examined theories, and revisited evidence, yet the question at the heart of this case remains unanswered: why? In a murder surrounded by uncertainty, where a seemingly ordinary night ended in tragedy, the search for the truth continues. This is the murder of Alistair Wilson. When John Ruetten failed to get hold of his wife, Sherri Rasmussen, on February 24th 1986, he knew something was wrong. What had started as a normal day would end in tragedy, and the long hunt for a killer would begin.
