This week Joannagh tells us about the case of Dorothy Park, a 63-year-old postmistress from New Pitsligo.In 16 June 1981 Dorothy was found dead in an incident that shocked the residents of the quiet village. Seemingly the victim of a burglary gone wrong, Dorothy was found bound and gagged in her home, she had died by suffocation.Joannagh details the steps taken by the police to try and identify the perpetrators, with a team of 55 officers being assigned to the case.We hear how witness statements mentioned 2 strangers in the village on the evening of Dorothy's death, as well as a strange car travelling at speed away from the village. Additionally we hear how a reward of £5,000 (which would be about £20,000 in today’s money) was offered for information leading to an arrest.Case research by Joannagh ShanksProduced by Emma Taylor & Joannagh ShanksEditing by Shaun O'NeillMusic by Tribe of NoiseSources of research:https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/past-times/3234142/who-killed-buchan-postmistress-in-black-panther-style-robbery-40-years-ago/https://www.pressreader.com/similar/281878711333676https://www.pressreader.com/uk/the-press-and-journal-aberdeen-and-aberdeenshire/20160620/282905204848245https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraserburghhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Pitsligohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Forbes_of_Callendarhttp://www.newpitsligo.org/news_paper_clippings.html
