Summary

Today’s story takes us across the pond and back in time to 1970s Scotland. Christine Eadie and her friend Helen Scott had known each other since childhood. On October 15, 1977, after a night on the town, their last stop for the night was one of the many popular pubs in the area, The World’s End. Christine and Helen were seen by a police officer walking off with the two men down Saint Mary Street. It was the last time they were seen alive.Edit: Unfortunately, Angus has been pronounced as "Agnes". This was not caught during the recording phase and a deadline had to be met. I can only promise to do better in the future. - JustinVisit us online at ObscuraCrimePodcast.com
