Murder of Arlene Fraser

Murder of Arlene Fraser

Arlene Fraser was a 33-year-old woman from Elgin in Moray, Scotland, who disappeared on 28 April 1998 after her two children went off to school. Although her body was never found, the case has been treated as a murder and is currently unsolved. Her husband Nat Fraser was suspected of killing her and was eventually sentenced to 25 years in prison. Two other suspects, Hector Dick and Glenn Lucas, were dismissed from the trial as not guilty. In May 2011 Nat Fraser's conviction was overturned pending a retrial after his trial was ruled unfair in Fraser v HM Advocate.[1]

Arlene Fraser was known to have suffered from Crohn's disease, and people involved in the case were said to have been consumers of illegal drugs.[2]

A book about the case, Murdered or Missing?: The Arlene Fraser Case authored by Reg McKay and suspect Glenn Lucas, was published in 2005.[2] The case also attracted significant media attention for a number of years as the trial continued.
