Nairn is a small Highland town situated on the North East coast of Scotland. In 2004 it was the home of Alistair and Veronica Wilson and their two young boys. At the end of November that year, 30 year old Alistair was about to begin his last week working for the Bank of Scotland before starting a new job. It was a Sunday evening, the Wilson children had just been bathed and Alistair was reading them a bedtime story when the front doorbell rang. Veronica went downstairs and opened the door. The unidentified visitor asked for her husband by name, presenting him with a mysterious envelope. Minutes later Alistair was slouched at the entrance to the house, suffering from three fatal gunshot wounds. His assassin walked away into the night. 

Almost two decades on The Doorstep Murder continues to draw speculation regarding numerous possible theories and potential suspects. Why would anyone want to harm this quiet, clever and devoted family man?
