Summary

On May 30, 1992, 19-year-old Scottish student Amanda Duffy was brutally murdered in a violent act that shocked her community. The main suspect in this heinous crime, Francis Auld, faced trial for murder in the High Court of Justiciary in Glasgow. However, he was acquitted when the jury returned a majority verdict of "not proven," leaving many questions unanswered. After years and years of tireless efforts by Amanda's family, who persistently sought to have Auld retried in their quest for justice for their daughter, the case seemed to come to a sudden and unfortunate halt in 2017 due to some very challenging circumstances. To this day, Amanda’s \ case remains unsolved, continuing to weigh heavily on the hearts of her family and the community. Click here to join our Patreon.
