The sad part is, everyone in the area knew exactly who’d murdered Caroline but they wouldn’t “grass”. Pathetic. At least the 3 creeps who beat and chucked her into the river have now been found guilty and are gonna be in prison. Just a shame it took so long.
@Highland_Moo In so many Crimewatch cases people know who did it but don't come forward because the police have a bad reputation for corruption The truth sometimes comes out here in the comments. People who have been asked to come forward to be "eliminated from the inquiry" may have been falsely accused just for doing the right thing? Who knows? BECAUSE, Look at the Cardiff 4 case. It was PLAINLY stated in the Lynnette White murder reconstruction on Crimewatch, that the suspect was a WHITE man, with blood on his hands, crying in a doorway on Jame St. SO then, HOW after that reconstruction did the Cardiff police arrest 4 men of color including Lynnette's boyfriend?????? AND the biggest irony is that Lynnette was missing from home for 5 days before her murder, because the cops were after her to "give evidence in court". I'm going to assume they wanted Lynette to give FALSE testimony and she didn't want to! Because the cops were able to get false testimony against the Cardiff 4.......by using witnesses lifestyle against them. They were all drug users or prostitutes, so well known to the police and easily used.
also is no one going to talk about that poor elderly woman, who had to go through a rape at her age and then having a stroke later that day then dying. i can't with that, broke my heart

All three defendants in CG’s murder case found GUILTY. Another mystery solved and hopefully finally closure for her family. The creeps who evaded justice for 27 years are finally going to pay for the heinous crime of murdering a young girl.

Not really. It's one of several settlements which are basically interconnected along the River Leven area between Balloch and Dumbarton, and it's quite a popular tourist route from Glasgow to Dumbarton to Loch Lomond. There was another murder of a teenaged drug addict prostitute called Amy Anderson whose body was found in the same River Leven a few years later, but the killer was caught pretty quickly and recently died in prison, so it's not believed to be linked.
In the fall of 2021 Three suspects were arrested in the death of Caroline Glachan. Two men and a woman. The suspects are now 42, 42 and 43. They would have been 17-18 when 14 year old Caroline was murdered.

Hi Andrew I have added a comment but it is being repeatedly deleted because CZcams think it is spam. It is about todays news aout Caroline Glachan: Three arrests over 1996 death of schoolgirl.
I knew Ken Speakman, When i was 14 he used to let me in his house to show me his guns. 2 years later the police took me to the station to have my fingerprints taken to eliminate me from there enquiry i was 15. It was very strange how the killers business card had the same surname as me too. They later found his his name was Anthony Swindells of Broadstairs. I will never forget being a suspect for a murder. Ken was a very nice bloke and very well known in the town.
The Caroline Glachan case is still unsolved to this day, they had a reappeal couple years back on the 20th anniversary. Its truly baffling as to why someone would kill a 14 year old girl in such a manner in a totally motiveless crime it seems. 😔
There is always a motive to these crimes - maybe the killer wanted to rape her but she resistedand he killed her and lost the urge to rape OR the person responsible just wanted to kill someone for kicks or thrills and Caroline just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time...
they have got three people charged and the trial is after new year,. donna brand, andrew kelly and robert o'brien were from dunbarton and are a couple of years older than caroline.
BBC News: BBC News Scotland: Mon 15 January 2024. Caroline Glachan murder: Two men jailed for killing schoolgirl in 1996. Caroline Glachan, 14, was a pupil at Our Lady and St Patrick's High School in Dumbarton Two men have been jailed for life for murdering a schoolgirl in West Dunbartonshire more than 27 years ago. The body of Caroline Glachan, 14, was discovered on the banks of the River Leven in Renton on 25 August 1996. Robert O'Brien must serve at least 22 years in prison and Andrew Kelly will have to serve at least 18 years before they can apply for parole. Donna Marie Brand, who was also found guilty of murder, was unfit to attend court and will be sentenced later. The trio had denied murder but were convicted after a two-week trial at the High Court in Glasgow. Judge Lord Braid described the murder as "brutal, depraved and above all wicked". How a four-year-old boy helped solve 1996 murder Three guilty of murdering schoolgirl 27 years ago The jury was told that Caroline, from Bonhill, had been "infatuated" with O'Brien. On the night of her murder, she had arranged to meet him at a bridge on the River Leven at around midnight. She was killed in what prosecutors described as a "horrific and violent attack", suffering at least 10 blows to the head and extensive skull fractures. The jury heard she may have been alive but was most likely unconscious when she entered the water. Robert O'Brien, Andrew Kelly and Donna Marie Brand wee found guilty of murder after a two-week trial Her body was later discovered by a passer-by, face down in the river. A massive murder investigation was launched, but there was no breakthrough until the case was re-examined by Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team in 2019. Officers re-interviewed residents of a street in Renton where O'Brien, Kelly and Brand had claimed they spent the night of the murder. An upstairs neighbour said she had seen four people - including Kelly and his girlfriend, the late Sarah Jane O'Neill - leaving the flat before midnight. Kelly and O'Neill had been babysitting two boys, and had been joined by O'Brien and his girlfriend Brand. They took four-year old Archie Wilson and his baby brother Jamie along with them when they went out. When they returned more than an hour later, the neighbour heard a commotion and an argument. Key evidence This discovery enabled officers to corroborate an account given by Archie the day after Caroline was attacked. Archie had told his mother Betty that he had been at the river and that had seen fighting and Caroline falling into the water. His evidence proved to be the key to finally convicting O'Brien, 45, and Kelly and Brand, who are both 44. Caroline's mother Margaret McKeich welcomed the guilty verdict at the end of the trial and said her daughter could now rest in peace. "It will not bring her back but at least we know that who was responsible is serving time for it," she said. "Because for the past 25 years they've had their life and they've had their Christmases and their birthdays and my Caroline was in the ground." Caroline Glachan Image caption, Caroline sustained extensive skull fractures in the attack Passing sentence, Lord Braid said: "You have taken a daughter from a loving mother. "Mrs McKeich has spoken of the pain that Caroline's death has caused, the void her death has left that will never be filled. "She has been deprived of seeing the woman that Caroline would have become. No sentence that I pass could possibly make up for what she has lost." He said O'Brien had been the main perpetrator of the "murderous assault", and that no-one who heard evidence of the injuries he inflicted on Caroline could fail to be sickened. "Then having assaulted her and left her unconscious, you left her face down in the river," he said. "While she may have died from the injuries inflicted on her, she died from drowning." The judge said that while Kelly played a lesser role, he was also involved in inflicting "murderous violence" on the teenager.

Parenting in Scotland seems good, a 14 year old allowed out till 2am, the mcanns leaving kids in a foreign apartment, a parent letting their 7 year old girl going to fetch fish and chips on her own and being abducted for 8 hours and sexually assaulted just to name a few..
Sadly part of the legacy of post industrial britain back then. Not much had changed really since the Victorian era. Chaotic families, poverty that was like something out of Oliver twist. Added to that the collapse of traditional industries that led to a lot of communities losing any remaining hope. Drugs and antisocial behaviour became even more of a regular undercurrent. Scotland sadly still has the highest rate of drugs deaths in Europe.
@@th8257 the mother seemed more concerned with going out with her fiancé than the fact her 14 year old CHILD was going out into the early hours, that doesn't seem to have anything to do with drugs.

My fourteen year old would be in bed at about half 9 watching TV,not going out the door at twenty past 10
It was 1996. Things have changed since then.
Do you have anymore uploads in the locker sir? And if so will you be uploading today/tonight?
I have December 1994 but unfortunately it's only 35 minutes long and cuts out about 10 minutes before the end. I'm not sure whether to upload it or not.
@@ajs41 Mate where I live in Kilmarnock teenagers as young as thirteen are running the streets all night long ,most of them off their heads on drink or drugs.
The chap who bought the skip lorry on 16:06 looked like he acted on a crimewatch reconstruction in June 92 when he and and accomplice robbed a lorry with it's load.
As sad as it was to hear from my mate Marc he wad actually one of the security guards that was on site on the robbery in Frimley he's actually the person in the reconstruction on the floor with a gun to his head but in fact it wasn't a hand gun it was a double barrel shotgun that was put up to his head it mentally scared him he has one of the worst types of bipolar it's so horrible to see it in him but he can't help it he's a good mate to me helped me out alot it's so horrible that those fuckers got away and were never caught never found unfortunately but he can't work again because of that day he never got any help with what happend that day it's disgusting how they didn't offer any support as to what happend having a gun put up to your head not being shot still mentally fucks people up but I'm just glad he a bit of help at the end
Trying to hit the big time,with a place on 'The Bill' ? 😂
Why was she out and about at that time of night? I think the mum were a bit careless on that score. Sad,, sad indeed!
I agree but it's not PC to say anything , parents have to be responsible too , I know its wrong but women and girls aren't safe out on their own at night. I drive home from bf 's in the early hrs and the amount of young girls I see walking about alone , I'm scared in the car at this hour and lock all my doors.
Valerie Mc Phail Unfortunately, Misery never takes a holiday, but one is usually safer during the day, than at night. I don’t know about you, but my fear is heightened when it gets dark. Having said that, the only person at fault here is the perpetrator.
Scummy shitty Glasgow family....bet they have more kids than teeth....
Careless? Totally irresponsible and neglectful more like.
Nick Ross mentions they reconstructed the Margaret Wilson murder 18 months before this episode, which would make it June 1995, which is incorrect. If I remember correctly it was on the December 1995 episode 15:10
08:39 That cast was featured on one of the final episodes of Crimewatch with Jeremy Vine and Tina Daheley.
Hopefully all of the 1995 and 1996 editions will be uploaded 😊

Hi Andrew I have added a comment but it is being repeatedly deleted because CZcams think it is spam. It is about todays news aout Caroline Glachan: Three arrests over 1996 death of schoolgirl.
I knew Ken Speakman, When i was 14 he used to let me in his house to show me his guns. 2 years later the police took me to the station to have my fingerprints taken to eliminate me from there enquiry i was 15. It was very strange how the killers business card had the same surname as me too. They later found his his name was Anthony Swindells of Broadstairs. I will never forget being a suspect for a murder. Ken was a very nice bloke and very well known in the town.
The Caroline Glachan case is still unsolved to this day, they had a reappeal couple years back on the 20th anniversary. Its truly baffling as to why someone would kill a 14 year old girl in such a manner in a totally motiveless crime it seems. 😔
Denzel Ndirangu Carol Seemed NiCe honeSt Girl
There is always a motive to these crimes - maybe the killer wanted to rape her but she resistedand he killed her and lost the urge to rape OR the person responsible just wanted to kill someone for kicks or thrills and Caroline just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time...
dEan Carter True, good points
they have got three people charged and the trial is after new year,. donna brand, andrew kelly and robert o'brien were from dunbarton and are a couple of years older than caroline.

How strange I watched this today and the trial is on for the murder of Caroline after all this time, spooky.
BBC News: BBC News Scotland: Mon 15 January 2024.
Caroline Glachan murder: Two men jailed for killing schoolgirl in 1996.
Caroline Glachan, 14, was a pupil at Our Lady and St Patrick's High School in Dumbarton
Two men have been jailed for life for murdering a schoolgirl in West Dunbartonshire more than 27 years ago.
The body of Caroline Glachan, 14, was discovered on the banks of the River Leven in Renton on 25 August 1996.
Robert O'Brien must serve at least 22 years in prison and Andrew Kelly will have to serve at least 18 years before they can apply for parole.
Donna Marie Brand, who was also found guilty of murder, was unfit to attend court and will be sentenced later.
The trio had denied murder but were convicted after a two-week trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
Judge Lord Braid described the murder as "brutal, depraved and above all wicked".
How a four-year-old boy helped solve 1996 murder
Three guilty of murdering schoolgirl 27 years ago
The jury was told that Caroline, from Bonhill, had been "infatuated" with O'Brien.
On the night of her murder, she had arranged to meet him at a bridge on the River Leven at around midnight.
She was killed in what prosecutors described as a "horrific and violent attack", suffering at least 10 blows to the head and extensive skull fractures.
The jury heard she may have been alive but was most likely unconscious when she entered the water.
Robert O'Brien, Andrew Kelly and Donna Marie Brand wee found guilty of murder after a two-week trial
Her body was later discovered by a passer-by, face down in the river.
A massive murder investigation was launched, but there was no breakthrough until the case was re-examined by Police Scotland's Major Investigation Team in 2019.
Officers re-interviewed residents of a street in Renton where O'Brien, Kelly and Brand had claimed they spent the night of the murder.
An upstairs neighbour said she had seen four people - including Kelly and his girlfriend, the late Sarah Jane O'Neill - leaving the flat before midnight.
Kelly and O'Neill had been babysitting two boys, and had been joined by O'Brien and his girlfriend Brand.
They took four-year old Archie Wilson and his baby brother Jamie along with them when they went out.
When they returned more than an hour later, the neighbour heard a commotion and an argument.
Key evidence
This discovery enabled officers to corroborate an account given by Archie the day after Caroline was attacked.
Archie had told his mother Betty that he had been at the river and that had seen fighting and Caroline falling into the water.
His evidence proved to be the key to finally convicting O'Brien, 45, and Kelly and Brand, who are both 44.
Caroline's mother Margaret McKeich welcomed the guilty verdict at the end of the trial and said her daughter could now rest in peace.
"It will not bring her back but at least we know that who was responsible is serving time for it," she said.
"Because for the past 25 years they've had their life and they've had their Christmases and their birthdays and my Caroline was in the ground."

Caroline sustained extensive skull fractures in the attack
Passing sentence, Lord Braid said: "You have taken a daughter from a loving mother.
"Mrs McKeich has spoken of the pain that Caroline's death has caused, the void her death has left that will never be filled.
"She has been deprived of seeing the woman that Caroline would have become. No sentence that I pass could possibly make up for what she has lost."
He said O'Brien had been the main perpetrator of the "murderous assault", and that no-one who heard evidence of the injuries he inflicted on Caroline could fail to be sickened.
"Then having assaulted her and left her unconscious, you left her face down in the river," he said.
"While she may have died from the injuries inflicted on her, she died from drowning."
The judge said that while Kelly played a lesser role, he was also involved in inflicting "murderous violence" on the teenager.

Is this the first time a female DCI was seen on crimewatch?
No the same detective was on there a a couple of months before with a murder of woman
I think the first female DCI was for an armed robbery in a pub in Leeds, c. 1991.
This guy used this stolen credit card over 82 times? You would cancel the card after losing it & especially after mysterious transactions started to occur.
Good point, Jason. We often forget how comparatively lo-tech the 1990s were.

There’s me thinking 40 is young to have a teenage daughter. Then I’m thinking no dummy u got a 20 year old and u 38 so maybe 40 isn’t mega young. Duh.

I bumped into the same 'Irish Problem' in that small town,by someone of the same surname, that ended up with a Police officer from Police Scotland, with Irish origins being sacked...beginning to see the bigger picture here...looking after their own?
Do you know anything about the troubles in NI? Do you know how the police treated Catholics? 'Looking after their own' indeed, ha!! It seems you don't have an 'Irish problem' so much as a Racist Problem!
@@jangles8061 There was never anything stopping them going south, suppose,in a nation surrounded by water,only they could have a famine, because Sir Francis Drake had brought them back some spuds to plant? Might want to check all the surnames doing the drugs,arson,murders...yeah,"Irish problem"??
The Caroline case is another example of hopeless policing at the time. The case was simple, yet it took 27 years to solve.

I thought his accomplice was Mike Brewer (from Wheeler Dealers ("'old out yer 'and!"))

Parenting in Scotland seems good, a 14 year old allowed out till 2am, the mcanns leaving kids in a foreign apartment, a parent letting their 7 year old girl going to fetch fish and chips on her own and being abducted for 8 hours and sexually assaulted just to name a few..
The McCanns are from Liverpool.

@@domoreilly5147 Mr McCann is Scottish.
Sadly part of the legacy of post industrial britain back then. Not much had changed really since the Victorian era. Chaotic families, poverty that was like something out of Oliver twist. Added to that the collapse of traditional industries that led to a lot of communities losing any remaining hope. Drugs and antisocial behaviour became even more of a regular undercurrent. Scotland sadly still has the highest rate of drugs deaths in Europe.
@@th8257 the mother seemed more concerned with going out with her fiancé than the fact her 14 year old CHILD was going out into the early hours, that doesn't seem to have anything to do with drugs. This seemed to be a regular occurrence. Wonder how long she'd walked the streets at night like that? 13 ,12 ,10? Her only child aswell. Very shameful.
14 years old wandering the streets regularly til the early hours..... the mother needs locking up too
Who said it was regularly?? ..and I hate to be the one to break this to you pal, but teenagers LIE! They lie to their parents all the time!
