Episode 55: Betty Hadden. This week Emma takes us back to 1945 to tell us of the mysterious death of Betty Hadden in Aberdeen.
After being seen out and about in Aberdeen, there was no trace of Betty until a grizzly discovery made early in the morning two days later.
Emma tells us about the - for the time - surprisingly progressive attitude taken by the police in their attempts to solve the crime and also of the somewhat unorthodox methods used to try and jog the memories of the public.
