Kidnap for ransom: The disappearance of Muriel McKay (Pt 1)

On the 29th of December in 1969, the wife of a Sun newspaper executive was abducted from her home. In a case of mistaken identity, Muriel McKay was then murdered and dumped on a farm but her body was never found. Two men were jailed for life. More than fifty years on, what happened remains a mystery that the McKay family want to solve.

Today and tomorrow on The Story, we bring you a two-part investigation into the case.
