Police hope missing pram could help them solve 40-year-old murder

Police investigating one of Scotland’s longest-running unsolved murders hope a child’s pram may be key to their investigation.

Christine Macrae, known as Renee, and her three-yearold son Andrew have not been seen since November 12, 1976.

Their BMW car was discovered near Dalmagarry, south of Inverness.

Andrew’s pram which is believed to have been with them when they went missing has also never been recovered.

The pram is described as being a Silver Cross Carnival collapsible, chrome plat- 0 Andrew was three when he went missing with his mum

ed frame with a blue canvas cover.

Now officers are asking people to think about whether they saw a pram such as this around the time of Renee and Andrew’s disappearance or since.

Officers recently spent several days at Leanach Quarry near Culloden as part of their inquiries.

Detective Inspector Brian Geddes said: “At the heart of this case is a family who are quite rightly seeking closure. They have lost a young mother and her son who have not been seen for more than four decades. Andrew was just a young child when he disappeared with his mother and today would have turned 45 years old. Investigations such as this do not end until we can offer answers to the family of Renee and Andrew and we maintain close ties with them.”
