The Tony Parsons Case: Buried Alive? The Crime That Shocked Scotland

In September 2017, Tony Parsons, a 63-year-old retired Royal Navy officer, set off on a 104-mile charity bike ride through the Scottish Highlands. He never made it home. After being struck by a truck, Tony was believed to have survived the initial collision. Instead of calling emergency services, two brothers concealed what had happened, transporting him to a remote location where his body remained hidden for years. His disappearance became one of Scotland's most heartbreaking missing person cases until an unexpected confession finally uncovered the truth. In this episode of True Crime Recaps, we examine the disappearance of Tony Parsons, the years-long investigation, the evidence that finally solved the case, and the disturbing decisions made in the aftermath of the collision.
