The Unsolved Murder of Elizabeth Mackintosh with Kay from FMWL Podcast
In this episode, Dawn is joined by Kay from the podcast Fuck My Work Life, and the pair talk about the unsolved murder of 50 year old Elizabeth Mackintosh.
Elizabeth Mackintosh was born in Scotland in 1940. She grew up in a devout family; her father, James, was a theology professor and later a moderator for the Free Church of Scotland. Elizabeth worked as a nurse and health visitor in Edinburgh, then a social worker in London, before moving to America. In St. Louis, she was a student at The Covenant Theological Seminary, working towards a master’s degree in biblical counselling while also working part-time as a cleaner to finance her studies.
Tragically, Elizabeth was found murdered in the seminary’s men’s toilet on 26 March 1990. The investigation into her death saw multiple suspects but ultimately remained unresolved, even as new leads emerged over the years. Despite advances in forensic technology and renewed efforts by the police, the case remains open, with the prime suspect, a fellow student and Elizabeth’s cleaning supervisor, never charged due to insufficient evidence. Elizabeth’s remaining family continue to seek closure for this heinous crime that took away a beloved sister and daughter. Elizabeth’s life and untimely death left an indelible mark on her community and all who knew her. Her story is one of dedication, faith, and the enduring quest for justice.
You can listen to Fuck My Work Life wherever you listen to your podcasts.

The Tracy Main Murder
In 1980 Glasgow, the Main family’s world was shattered when 13-year-old Tracy was found murdered at home. Despite no signs of forced entry, Tracy’s body was discovered with multiple stab wounds and signs of a struggle. The investigation quickly focused on a neighbour of the Main family who had a mental age of eight and was known as “The Creeper”. It would be his disclosure of details that had not been released to the public that led to his arrest. However, everything was not as it seemed, which led to devastating consequences for the Main family who wanted justice for their daughter.
