Summary
On 1st April 1992, ten court summonses for crimes including multiple murder, abduction, prevention of a proper and lawful burial and kidnap were served on a 43 year old prisoner serving life at HMP Peterhead in Aberdeenshire - a prisoner serving life for the abduction and sexual assault of a six year old girl in July 1990.
His name? Robert Black.
Continuing with The Lost Girls multi episode tale then this time around on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, was the individual heading to trial for these, Robert Black, indeed the man responsible for the deaths of Susan Maxwell, Caroline Hogg and Sarah Harper - and almost Theresa Thornhill?
But - what was Black's story? Well, I'll tell you within.
The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including disturbing descriptions of a sexual nature and involving children, that some listeners may find extremely disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.
