Linda Donaldson

About this episode

The episode discusses the unsolved murder of Linda Donaldson and related cases.

On the 18th October 1988, the naked body of 31 year old Linda Donaldson was found off Winwick lane in Lowton, Warrington. She had last been seen in Liverpool's red light district. Despite many enquiries being made into her murder it remains unsolved despite several other murders happening around the East Lancs road. In the next few weeks, I will also tell the stories of the 3 other murders often associated with Linda's.
