## Resource

On 29 September 2017, retired Royal Navy veteran and cancer survivor Tony Parsons set out on a 104-mile charity bike ride through the Scottish Highlands. He stopped at the Bridge of Orchy Hotel for a coffee just before midnight, then cycled into the darkness. He was never seen alive again. For more than three years, Tony's family searched for answers as the case grew cold. Then in 2020, a Glasgow pathologist named Caroline Muirhead became engaged to a charming Highland gamekeeper, only for him to confess a devastating secret on a quiet country road. What she did next would expose one of Scotland's most haunting hit and run cover-ups, lead to the discovery of Tony's body marked by a crushed Red Bull can, and reveal the terrifying truth that he had been left alive on the roadside to die alone.
