2 MEN AND A WOMAN HELD IN CUSTODY CHARGED WITH CAROLINE'S MURDER
Donna Brand, Andrew Kelly and Robert O'Brien are alleged to have killed Caroline Glachan more than 25 years ago.
When they allgedly murdered the 14 year-old schoolgirl, they would have been 17, 16 and 18. A postmortem on vivacious Caroline showed she was alive when she was dumped in the water.
I never knew Caroline but I often think about her and the terror she suffered in her final moments. It makes me both sad and angry so imagine how those who loved her feel?
Hopefully, Caroline and her family will finally get justice at last.

Caroline had her life stolen from her |
Twenty-two long years ago, on Sunday 25 August 1996,
14-year-old schoolgirl Caroline Glachan was found dead on the water’s edge of
the River Leven near Bonhill, Dunbartonshire in Scotland
One of the last people to see Caroline alive was her friend
Joanne Menzies. Caroline left Joanne and a group of friends at some shops just
before midnight. She was going to meet her boyfriend in nearby Renton which was a mile away
She never made it. She took a shortcut through the woods.
What happened next nobody knows.

Where the teen's lifeless body was found |
She was found dead on the banks of the River Leven in
Dunbartonshire. She'd been badly beaten and possibly drowned. It wasn't clear
if she was dead or alive when she'd ended up in the water. She could have been
unconscious.
The ambitious teenager with a feisty attitude, never made it
to fifteen as her life was snatched away.
A killer among us?
Caroline's mother and Police in Scotland
Caroline's murder was featured on TV true crime show
Crimewatch two years ago, where her mum Mrs McKeich spoke in heartbreaking
detail of how she found out her daughter was dead on her 40th birthday.
For her life didn't begin at forty, she said, it ended.
She'd lost her only child.
"There's two questions I need answered - who and
why."

Could this be the man who killed her? |
After her murder, police released a photo of a man in a dark
green hooded top who was seen by a taxi driver walking near Caroline as she
made her way along Dillichip Loan around 12.15am on Sunday, August 25, 1996.
The man was described as having sharp features.
He was asked to come forward. The call was never answered.
Was this man her killer?
