A small area within Glasgow dubbed “The Square Mile of Murder,” hosted four of Scotland’s most notorious murders. From poisonings to meat cleavers to human crocodiles, these city blocks have seen it all. However, one such case is still considered unsolved even though somebody was sentenced to hang for their “crimes.”
Today, I bring you the murder of Jessie McPherson.
Plus, an “Indiana Jones of the Art World” true crime extra!
