Rachel Pugh went to the exact spot where a human skull was found in Lindo Moss, Scotland. A peat cutter had cleaned it off and realized it was a human skull with some skin and an eyeball still attached. The discovery of the skull could be connected to an open case they'd been investigated for twenty years. Police suspected that her husband, Peter Rain Bart, had killed her but there was no body. He later confessed when confronted by police about his wife's remains.
