There is a common misconception that, if a body cant be found then no-one can be brought to trial for murder. That isnt true, as one Scottish man discovered. Twice!
Arlene Fraser was an attractive, vivacious mother of two young children who lived in the peaceful town of Elgin in the north-east of Scotland. On the morning of April 28th, 1998, she was seen waving to her children as they left for school. One hour later, she called the school to check about a trip. It was a very ordinary day in an ordinary Scottish town. Yet, that was the last time that anyone saw or heard from Arlene Fraser.
Police found no signs of a struggle or foul play in the house and Arlenes spectacles, contact lenses, medication, keys and passport were all still where she had left them. A vacuum cleaner was found in her daughters bedroom, plugged in but switched off, as if Arlene had been interrupted during housework and had stepped outside for a moment. However, one of the biggest police operations ever mounted in Scotland and a massive search involving the RAF, police dogs and members of the public revealed no trace of Arlene, alive or dead.
Despite having a cast-iron alibi for the relevant time, Nat Fraser, Arlenes husband, was eventually charged with her murder. However, many people felt that his trial was unfair, with the police accused of withholding vital evidence and questions being raised about the motivations and honesty of one of the main witnesses for the prosecution. Nat Fraser appealed, his sentence was eventually quashed and he was freed. Then he was tried again using essentially the same evidence and the same witnesses. The original verdict was repeated. He appealed, again
