Episode Description from the Publisher

Marjorie’s case has been described as perhaps the cruellest of all. The 34-year-old mother-of-three was found in the River Clyde, near Jamaica Bridge, in August 1995. But her death has never been treated as murder. Police say "no criminality” has ever been established but CCTV footage showed her with a man next to the river, hours before she was found dead. Weeks later, that same man was accused of trying to push another sex worker into the same river. Listen while we slowly build trust with Marjorie’s sister, following previous damaging experiences with the media and police.  When she does agree to talk to us, hear how Marjorie’s death devastated a close-knit family, and the three young children she left behind. Her sister is also convinced she knows who did it. -If you’ve been affected by any of the issues raised in this podcast and need mental-health support or want to talk about your feelings, visit the Hub of Hope to find services in your area.  If you think you might have information about any of the people we’ve mentioned you can get in touch with us at bewarebook@bauermedia.co.uk  Written, created, presented and produced by Collette McGonigle  Presented and produced by Callum McQuade  Executive Producers - Laurence Bassett & Henrietta Harrison  Sound Design - James Stodd & Michelle Homan  Designer - Ben Watkins  Production Manager - Sarah Nicholls  Legal Counsel - Jonathan McNaul for Bauer Media Group and Caroline Marshall for Reviewed & Cleared  Head of Production - Cat Moran  Chief Creative Officer, Podcasts - Lucie Cave  Director of News and Sport, Scotland and Northern Ireland - Lorraine Herbison Hollinshead  Beware Book is a Rayo Original podcast by Bauer Media
