Episode 112: James 'Jimmy' Hassard
This week Joannagh tells us about the case of James 'Jimmy' Hassard, who was found dead in the village of Caol, near Fort William, on 18 February 1989.
Joannagh tells us how, although Jimmy had suffered injuries consistent with an assault, there was no apparent motive for the crime.
We hear of the long investigations spanning many decades and the appeals made by tthe Police through the years.
Joannagh also tells of the lines of inquiry the police still wish to follow in the hope of finally solving this crime.
