This one is called a murder in Scotland, because of the Scottish laws around trial that heavily impacted the outcome of this case. Jordan told police he dropped his sister Annalise at her uncles house. He watched her go inside before driving off. Now she'd been missing for 12 hours. But when police questioned the uncle, he told them Annalise never showed up at his house. Somebody was lying.

This is quite a short case because there’s just not a lot of information out there but it’s a case I’d not even heard of- it happened at the end of 2022, and I had no idea about any of it until it popped up on my research list. It’s an important story, and although it’s short, the information is pretty horrific, so buckle up and let’s get into it.

Usually this meant that she would have a great night, and wake up with about 10 new friends. But on the fateful evening...
