Episode 76 - Renee and Andrew MacRae Part Two

On 12 November 1976, 36-year-old Renee MacRae and her 3-year-old son Andrew vanished near Inverness. That night, her BMW was found burning in a layby on the A9. Blood in the car pointed to murder — but no bodies were ever found. For over 40 years, it was one of the UK’s most haunting cold cases.Then, in 2019, police arrested William MacDowell — Renee’s secret lover and Andrew’s biological father. In 2022, he was found guilty of murdering them both. He died five months into his sentence, taking the truth of what he did and where Renee and Andrew were - with him. This is part two of the story of Renee and Andrew MacRae. Information and support ·      Samaritans UK Contact Us | Samaritans ·      Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) Home - AAFDA·      Women’s Aid Home - Women's Aid·      National Domestic Abuse Helpline UK 0808 2000 247·      Mental health support USA Mental Health America | Homepage | Mental Health America·      Domestic abuse helpline USA 1.800.799.SAFE Domestic Violence Support | National Domestic Violence Hotline  References www.wizardradio.com Murder Trial - A Dangerous Affair: Part 1 - BBC iPlayer Inside Murder Trial - A Deadly Affair - Introducing...
