Episode 71: Patricia Henry. This week Emma brings us the story of Patricia Henry, a 46-year old mother from Girvan, who went missing in November 2017.
Emma tells us how initial reports into Patricia's disappearance suggested Patricia may have returned to Gran Canaria, where she had lived previously. However, when irregular financial activity was identified during a proof of life check by police, this no longer seemed likely.
We hear how suspicions were raised around the actions of a friend of Patricia's, both before and after her disappearance, and how this opened up a crucial line of inquiry.
Finally, we hear how the conclusion to this case was reached mere days before this episode was recorded, with a conviction being secured, but with some important questions sadly left unanswered.
