Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/tony-parsons-yt-to-apple On September 29, 2017, 63-year-old grandfather and Navy veteran Tony Parsons set out on a 104-mile overnight charity bike ride through the Scottish Highlands. He never came home. For nearly three years, his family had no answers. Extensive searches across the remote terrain along the A82 turned up almost nothing. Then a forensic pathologist named Dr. Caroline Muirhead came forward with a confession from her new boyfriend, Alexander "Sandy" McKellar, and everything changed. What Sandy and his twin brother Robert did that night, and the lengths they went to in order to cover it up, is one of the most chilling true crime stories to come out of Scotland in recent years. This case inspired the Netflix documentary Should I Marry a Murderer?, premiering April 29th, and the full story is even more disturbing than the documentary shows.
