In this special update episode of Scottish Murders, host Dawn revisits the unsolved 1983 murder of Aberdeen taxi driver George Murdoch, exploring the family's relentless quest for justice. Dawn speaks with George's nephew Alex and his wife Robina, who have worked tirelessly to keep the case in the public eye and their efforts in doing this are discussed, including media campaigns, TV appearances and collaborations with the police. The episode highlights significant developments, such as the 2015 lead involving a man wearing an Iron Maiden t-shirt, the release of a key photo in 2023, and the impact of a former prisoner's perspective on the case. Dawn also speaks with Ryan, host of Who is the Cheesewire Killer, who shares insights from his conversations with Alex, Robina and George’s neighbour at the time of his murder, a 13 year old boy who saw George as a grandfather figure. Theories about the killer's potential profile and motivations are explored, new perspectives are discussed, and myths about the case are debunked.
This episode is a heartfelt call for anyone with information to come forward and help solve this decades-old mystery.
