Murder Without a Body: The Suzanne Pilley Case | Ep. 242

About this episode

This episode explores the baffling murder investigation of Suzanne Pilley, who disappeared without a trace in 2010.

On May 4, 2010, 38-year-old Suzanne Pilley followed her usual morning routine before disappearing without a trace on her way to the office. With no witnesses, no clear crime scene, and no body ever recovered, what began as a missing person case quickly turned into one of the most baffling murder investigations in modern Scottish history. In this episode, we dive into the timeline of Suzanne’s final movements, the complex relationships behind the scenes, and the painstaking police investigation that stretched from city streets to remote parts of Argyll. How do you prove a murder without a body? And what kind of evidence is strong enough to convince a jury beyond reasonable doubt? This is a case that challenged the justice system, gripped the nation, and still leaves questions unanswered to this day.
