What Happened
One of Moray’s most notorious murder cases has been revisited in a BBC documentary titled Murder Case: The Hunt for Arlene Fraser’s Killer, which aired on February 24. The program recounts the sudden disappearance of Arlene Fraser, a 33-year-old mother of two, from her home in Elgin on April 28, 1998. Despite extensive searches, her body has never been found. The documentary features testimony from her sister, Carol Gillies, and police detectives involved in the case.
Why It Matters
Arlene’s disappearance and the subsequent conviction of her estranged husband, Nat Fraser, for her murder highlight critical issues surrounding domestic abuse and the legal system. Carol Gillies is currently campaigning for reforms regarding killers who remain silent about the locations of their victims’ remains. The documentary aims to raise awareness about the impact of domestic violence and the ongoing pain experienced by families of victims.
What’s Next
The first episode of the documentary is available on BBC iPlayer and will be followed by a second episode airing on February 26. With Nat Fraser eligible for parole in 2028, the documentary serves as a platform for Gillies to advocate for justice and reform in the legal system.
