Summary
In 1983, a young girl named Caroline Hogg vanished from Edinburgh and was found dead in Leicestershire, sparking a baffling investigation. The case was part of a series of similar disappearances and murders, all involving young girls who vanished in daylight and were found far from their homes. The culprit was Robert Black, a delivery driver who traveled extensively across the country, using his job to move unnoticed. The breakthrough came in 1990 when a witness saw a girl being forced into a van, leading to Blacks arrest. After years of investigation, Black was convicted for multiple murders and died in prison in 2016. The case highlighted the immense effort required to bring a killer like Black to justice.
