Murder They Wrote with Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling - 75. The Goatfell Murder

In 1889, Edwin Rose vanished on a hike up Goatfell. His body is later found hidden under a pile of rocks. Was it a tragic fall, or something more sinister?

All eyes turn to John Annandale, the man who last saw Edwin alive. But when John suddenly vanishes and reappears under a different name, the case takes a bizarre turn.

Iain takes us to the Isle of Arran to retrace the steps of this Victorian mystery.
