Summary
The story this week returns to Paisley, near Glasgow. It had been a great day for Laura Connelly as she caught up with some old school friends she hadn't see for a while at the bar, and at approaching 2am, she left to walk the mile or so to her home. But tragically, Laura didn't ever come home as she was attacked and murdered almost in sight of her home.
In this episode of the UK true Crime Podcast I look at just what happened to Laura and follow the police investigation to find her killer.
