- By LUCINDA CAMERON

The family of a woman murdered eight years ago are appearing on the BBC’S Crimewatch to appeal for informatio­n to help find her body.

Suzanne Pilley, 38, disappeare­d on 4 May, 2010, after setting off to work in Thistle Street in Edinburgh city centre.

Colleague David Gilroy, now 55, was convicted of her murder in March 2012 and is serving a life sentence with a minimum term of 18 years behind bars.

He is thought to have taken her body in the boot of his car to a secret grave, believed to be in remote Argyll. Her remains have never been found.

Ms Pilley’s family were due to appear on BBC Crimewatch at 11am today appealing for informatio­n to help them find her body. Earlier this year her mother and sister spoke of the torment of not being able to give Ms Pilley the dignity of a funeral.
