I am thoroughly disgusted with the decades of willful incompetence and laziness of the Scottish police regarding this incident.

[@tartanmystic4025]

I owe the 'Moira Anderson Foundation' a wealth of gratitude. The organisation offers a wide range of support to children & also adult survivors of CA. I was so anxious & afraid, I struggled to get through the door but the staff/volunteers were amazing. I was gently guided inside with words of encouragement & the feeling of safety & being cared for. I'm so glad of this upload for reminding me of the amazing support I received. A wee donation from my Christmas money is a perfect way to say "Thanks again & I haven't forgotten what you done for me

[@MissLibra-ce8qe]

I read Sandra’s book many years ago. She worked incredibly hard to bring her father to justice. As always Casefile, you’ve done yet another fantastic job of covering this case.

[@nancychisholm5399]

Horrific subject matter but told in a sensitive and respectful way. Thank you Casefile and team.

[@jeanettehinds4253]

This is why I get so frustrated when people say, 'it was a different time " as though pedophilia began in the 90's.

[@tkdb317]

@jeanette Hinds I think what most people mean is that it is a subject that is more openly discussed these days not that it happens more. Parents and police are less dismissive of reports from kids, and predators are less protected.

[@Marigold502]

It was definitely treated differently. Parents would say 'just stay away from him' about flashers!

[@sharkydiver3900]

Always the best researched, most thorough videos on KZbin. Someday we will all be celebrating 1 million subscribers!

[@kardonay]

I think he has that on spotify already. He clearly puts in A LOT of work and deserves EVERY.BLOODY.ONE of them

[@thecatatemyhomework]

Not unless he gets rid of all those KZbin ads. It's a great channel but it turns off a lot of people. If I didn't have KZbin premium I wouldn't be at this channel.

[@meganlangreck2488]

When he was tried and convicted the first time, I was honestly surprised by the Judge's integrity. Given the times and the era. I was also surprised by the criminal's father.

[@sheryldalton8965]

All of the relatives that ignored the little girls he molested are responsible for their lifelong trauma & Moira's death.

[@JR-xw5nv]

I read his daughter's book a long time ago, and I still can't understand how this man could possibly live his life without being detected.

[@valeriemurphy6316]

What was the book called please ? I would like to read it if possible To you

[@Meanwhile-]

They say not to assume malice when incompetence will do, but wow with this police department.

[@brisbanite5460]

It was a long time ago. They take missing children a lot more seriously nowadays.

[@chunkybird1241]

Are you familiar with case of Britt Lapthorne, also covered by Casefile? The incompetence of the Dubrovnic police is beyond shameful, they disregarded evidence/didn't investigate/made excuses at every turn.

[@Aozziegamer99]

Incredibly sad that this piece of human excrement was able to lead a full life whilst he denied that right to an eleven year old child. The facts indicate corruption throughout the local police department and yet no investigation was ever carried out to implicate those who were complicit!

[@thepickledpixie9052]

Oh wow, so glad you're covering this. I live in Lanarkshire, about 20 minutes away and have followed the case since I was a teenager. Looking forward to hearing Casefile's take on it.

[@thepickledpixie9052]

As always, well researched and presented. Spot on!

[@MM-kx2vp]

Similar to you I live near. I can’t believe how well Casefile has covered this. I’ve never linked the Moira Anderson Foundation to this case which is absurd now that I think of it. I also remember a grave being exhumed in a Coatbridge cemetery in 2013 with the police hoping to find Moria’s remains. There was lots of hope that this would solve this once and for all, unfortunately it didn’t.

[@thepickledpixie9052]

@@MM-kx2vp oh aye, I remember the exhumation too. Sandra's book is worth a read if you haven't already.

Casefile, my favourite way to start a Saturday

[@spiderlady1943]

Excellent post! I have had direct dealings with freemasons - you would not believe what goes on in the fraternity! Nor would you believe what they get away with! Poor child - I hope she is resting in peace, alongside her grieving parents. Sandra - what a woman! I am certain the offender/murderer is not resting in peace. Kudos to the honourable police who pursue Moira's case.

[@SweetTooth8989]

Ugh.. nothing disgusts me more than these sick bastards that prey on children...

[@danrobinson572]

Awesome 👏 Saturday once again!!

[@lisetteeliseparis7070]

First! (All respect, CaseFiles, I have a hard time with child killers. I probably won't finish this episode, but thanks again for you and your team's hard work).

[@danrobinson572]

I agree with you on that.

[@zero_bs_tolerance8646]

Thank you.

[@hannahriley8085]

It's so weird how attitudes to this sort of thing have changed just in the last 20-30 years. Back in the 70,s and 80,s you told a adult something like this was happening to you and they told you to shut up nowadays they'd go straight to the police!( hopefully!)

[@CarolFremel-my4hs]

Not true

[@cannedsquasher5923]

​@@CarolFremel-my4hsit is true people care about such allegations and take them far more seriously now than in the past. I'm sorry this upsets you but it is the truth. It was different times. Like why do you think Halloween is a lot more restricted nowadays in most places in the US? Cause we care about child safety way more.

[@wiebkescantick947]

Imagine the strength one must have to pursue your own father as the culprit decades later as a potential perpetrator. Sandra has some great inner strength.

Yessssssssss!!!!

[@Partyinglikeits1999]

The first thing that struck me as strange....something I wouldn't do as a mother is let my other child go to and from school for lunch just 2 weeks after my other daughter was missing. I would be on tenterhooks and paranoid something bad would happen to the 2nd child - which it did. She was groped by a paedophile pretending he wanted to look under the hood of his broken down car!!!! It's so easy to convince a child even if her sister was recently missing, she is too young to be on guard for sicko who obviously lurked around where she walked alone.

The disappearance of madeline mcann will certainly be an interesting series of episodes

[@RyanT301]

How do you just run away from someone? The first encounters with the man both girls managed to run at some point? Sounds sketchy, a young man pulled a knife on her and she somehow ran away?? Like that’s it, he just let her run away that easy? Someone making up parts of the story or something..

[@loredanadincu7930]

You have 3 sets of comercials during the video. Is this for real. Plus the comercials at the beginning of this episode. Your episodes are very good and well researched, but the tone of comercials make me to almost stop listening to it.

Hey, it's free.

@@dammitmom no it's not. You have to pay for inernet genius. Plus he sent from one set of adds during the videos to 3. Like I said his videos are well researched and good. But it's becominng more obvious as days pass and number of comercials grow why he is doing this.
