Scottish Murders

  • The Ann Heron Unsolved Murder Part 1 - Presenting John from the Persons Unknown Podcast

    29 APR 2024 · This week Dawn is joined by John from the https://personsunknown.buzzsprout.com/ 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 https://personsunknown.buzzsprout.com/ 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 https://personsunknown.buzzsprout.com/podcast for researching and narrating this episode, and to Ralph for speaking with me and giving an insight into his mum, Ann Heron.

  • Eliza Connolly

    19 MAR 2024 · In April 1981, 74-year-old Eliza Connelly was found dead in her home in a quiet residential area in Broughty Ferry in Dundee. She had 12 wounds to her head, two on her hands, fractured ribs, and blood was found everywhere from the floor to the ceiling.

  • John Cremin and the Baby Faced Killer

    5 MAR 2024 · 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. This continued until April 1960, when one of their victims, John Cremin, was killed. Initially, his death was thought to be accidental, but a post-mortem revealed that John had been murdered.
