Death On The Beach: Episode 368

Always True Crime
About this episode
When Annie Börjesson's body was found on a beach in Prestwick, Scotland, police assured her family and friends that Annie's death was a suicide or an accident. For years Annie's family and friends didn't believe they were being told the full story about what happened.

So what did happen to Annie? And why did the Scottish authorities not share all the information asked for by the family?
