Episode 91: Magdeline Makola.
This week Emma tells us of the terrifying ordeal suffered by nurse Magdeline Makola when, in 2008, she was abducted and held in the boot of a car for approximately 10 days.
We hear how her colleagues became concerned when she did not show up for her shift at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on the 18th of December 2008.
Emma describes how the Police began attempting to trace Magdeline through CCTV images of her car and how, by sheer luck, 2 officers were passing the car where it had been left at a train station in Airdrie when they heard Magdeline calling for help.
