Dawn and Marti from Mums, Mysteries and Murder podcast, did their first ever live podcast recording at Airdrie Library for the Killers and Coffee event.

They discuss the unsolved 1981 murder of Aileen Printie in Edinburgh. They explore the case details, including the mysterious ice bucket, cufflink evidence, and the controversial identification of a 16-year-old suspect who later died by suicide. They also analyse the police investigation's shortcomings, questioning the lack of DNA evidence and the hasty closure of the case. They debate the ethics of naming suspects without charges and the impact on both families involved. The episode highlights the limitations of 1980s forensics and the frustration of unresolved cases, leaving listeners to ponder the true identity of Aileen's killer.
