Tracey Waters: The Unsolved Murder That Haunts Johnstone

from HorrorLocker: True Crime & Missing People Hosted by HorrorLocker

In February 1983, 11-year-old Tracey Waters left her home in Johnstone, Scotland — and never returned.Her body was found days later, hidden beneath a hedge just streets away.What followed was a deeply flawed investigation, a family torn apart, a man charged and then released, and a case that would haunt a community for decades. Evidence was mishandled. Leads went cold. And the truth was never uncovered.This documentary revisits the events of that winter, examines the police failures, the lasting impact on those left behind, and the unanswered questions that remain more than forty years later.⚠️ Viewer discretion advised. This film contains sensitive material involving the death of a child.
