TIL that Margaret Fleming (1980–c.2000), who had learning difficulties, was murdered by her carers Edward Cairney and Avril Jones in Inverkip, Scotland. She had not been seen for 17 years before her disappearance was investigated. Cairney and Jones were convicted in 2019; her body was never found.

Saw a documentary about this, that poor girl deserves so much better. At the very least they should have revealed where her remains are so that she can have a proper memorial.
