Description

In this episode, Dawn welcomes Kevin, co-creator of the YouTube true crime channel Just Thought Lounge, to talk about the tragic case of Tony Parsons. Tony, a 63-year-old former Navy officer and cancer survivor, went missing during a solo charity bike ride in 2017. The episode describes the harrowing details of Tony's disappearance, the subsequent discovery of his remains in 2021, and the shocking confession by Alexander McKellar, who, along with his brother Robert, was responsible for Tony's death. The discussion highlights the critical role of Caroline Muirhead, who bravely gathered evidence against the brothers despite immense personal risk and police pressure. Dawn and Kevin also discuss the lenient sentences given to the McKellar brothers and the implications of the police's treatment of Caroline. Promos:Mystery FrequencyPod of TerrorSOURCES:Please see our website for all source material and photos at https://scottishmurders.com/episodes/tonyparsons 00:00:30: Introduction and Welcome00:06:43: Introduction to Tony Parsons Case00:10:25: Tony's Background and Family00:13:49: Initial Search Efforts00:16:34: Discovery of Tony's Remains00:18:46: Caroline Muirhead's Involvement00:23:10: Arrest and Investigation of the McKellar Brothers00:29:08: Details of the Night Tony was Hit00:33:35: Legal Proceedings and Plea Deals00:38:41: Caroline's Treatment by Police00:45:26: Reflections on the Case and ConclusionSHOW:Support Us:ko-fi.com/scottishmurdersPatreon - patreon.com/scottishmurdersMerch - teepublic.com/user/scottishmurdersWebsite - scottishmurders.comTwitter - @scottishmurdersInstagram - @scottishmurderspodcastFacebook - facebook.com/scottishmurdursYouTube - @ScottishMurdersLinktree - linktr.ee/scottishmurdersCREDITS:Scottish Murders is a production of cluarantonn.com/Hosted by Dawn YoungGuest Kevin from Just Thought Lounge podcast Edited and Produced by Erin Ferguson - instagram.com/erinfergus0n/Production Company Name by Granny RobertsonMUSIC:Dawn of the Fairies by Derek & Brandon Fiechter
