Overview
- The three-part series, which debuted on Wednesday, April 29, follows Glasgow pathologist Caroline Muirhead as she recounts her choice to report her fiancé’s confession.
- Muirhead met Alexander “Sandy” McKellar on Tinder in 2020, and he told her he and his twin brother had struck 63-year-old cyclist Tony Parsons in 2017 and concealed his body.
- She marked the burial site with a crushed Red Bull can and recorded admissions, and Police Scotland recovered Parsons’ remains in January 2021 after excavating the peat.
- In 2023, Sandy pleaded guilty to culpable homicide and received a 12-year sentence, Robert McKellar got five years and three months for defeating the ends of justice, and both men remain in a Scottish prison.
- Muirhead says police support fell short as she gathered evidence, and the documentary has renewed calls for stronger witness protection and trauma-informed care as viewers react to its disturbing details.
