About this listen
For decades, Sandra Brown’s life has been intertwined with someone she has never met: an eleven year-old girl named Moira Anderson – who disappeared from their hometown of Coatbridge, Scotland, in 1957. It became one of the oldest cold cases in Scottish history.
Sandra lived just around the corner from Moira. She grew up hearing about the missing girl, whose memory haunted the town. But she never imagined that, one day, she would be the one trying to uncover what happened. Or that her search for answers would reveal secrets and lies so close to home.
In her own words, Sandra tells the full story, of a lifetime spent confronting doubt and resistance. Can she break the silence and find the truth? And how much pain will it cause?
Content Warning: There are references to child sexual abuse and to violence in this series. Listener discretion is advised.

Amazing
There are amazing people on this earth who have morals principles and determination and someone who you would love to be on your side in the event of troubles, who is an Angle in the form of human that is definitely Sandra.
She carried us on her journey to find the truth I held my breath through out I felt the frustration of the injustice towards the innocent which can to take long for the truth to be found and the evil of those who live life unpunished. Sandra you are phenomenal.

So Sad
The tone of this item was perfect. True Crime can often be ghoulish and in bad taste. I didn't know what to expect but listened to this in one day. So Sad. May you rest in peace with the Lord Moira hen.

Moira's fitting tribute
A tragic tale sensitively told by an author who is very even, a fascinating story. I truly hope will this will be resolved eventually.

This was well paced and factual. Was unable to stop listening and started to think they would find a body.

I thought Sandra was portrayed by an actor speaking on her behalf. Amazing storytelling! 👏
A Very moving account on getting justice for Moira. The atrocious inadequacy of the Police investigation
