Edward Cairney and Avril Jones

Emash Digital / Wondery
About this episode

In the late ‘90s, Margaret Fleming was living under the care of Edward Cairney and Avril Jones, friends of her deceased father. In October 2016, the police launched an investigation when concerns were raised about a benefits claim made by Avril on Margaret’s behalf.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Edward Cairney and Avril Jones. The police found no trace of Margaret and learned she hadn’t been seen or heard from in years. It took a very long time, but when police finally developed their theory, it was dastardly.
