Unsolved Murder of Caroline Glachan


On August 24, 1996, 14-year-old Caroline Glachan spent the evening with friends in Renton, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. She and her best friend left a local building around 11:45 p.m. and they said goodbye to each other neat the Bonhill shops around 11:54 p.m. Caroline was heading off to meet a new boyfriend of hers. 

Around 12:15 a.m. a Taxi driver saw walking along Dillichip Loan towards The Towpath and the Black Bridge. This would have been a shortcut. The taxi driver also noted that a man wearing a green hooded top with sharp features was approaching Caroline from behind. It was noted by witnesses that screams were heard at this time.

On August 25th Caroline's body was found on the west bank of the River Leven. She had been attacked, but not sexually assaulted. She was thrown into the river still alive and drowned. She still had her clothes on, but her shoes were still on the riverbank.
