Episode 65: Sandy Drummond. This week Emma tells us of the mysterious death of Sandy Drummond, a 33-year-old former soldier, found murdered in Boarhills, Fife, on the 24th of June 1991.
Emma describes how Police failings in the immediate aftermath of Sandy's body being discovered meant that potentially key forensic data could not be gathered from the crime scene.
We hear about unusual behaviour displayed by Sandy in the days leading up to his death, which led those close to him to believe there was something amiss. We hear, also, how rumours of bullying in the workplace could point to a motive and led some in the community to name potential suspects.
