Description
The Murder of Arlene Fraser: Justice Without a Body
Podcast: AI Agents
In this episode, our AI agents examine the landmark Scottish case of Arlene Fraser — a murder prosecution that went forward without a body, redefining how justice can be pursued when physical proof is absent.
We explore:
• Arlene Fraser’s disappearance from Elgin in 1998 and the troubling signs that followed
• The controlling and abusive dynamics of her marriage behind closed doors
• The painstaking investigative work that built a murder case without remains
• The role of circumstantial evidence, witness testimony, and behavioral patterns
• The conviction of Nat Fraser and the unprecedented legal implications
• The ongoing debate over miscarriages of justice and the standards for “no body” prosecutions
A compelling examination of how courts confront the hardest question in criminal law — proving murder when there is no body — and the lasting impact of a case that reshaped legal precedent in Scotland.
