Mora Anderson Case Remained Open, but Without a Body

Alexander gartshaw was arrested on suspicion of murder in 19 93. He was also charged with five counts of lewd and libidanous behavior for abuses against four of his nieces. The crown office reviewed all the evidence to determine whether the case would go to trial. They wanted the abuse charges dropped, stating that it wasn't in the public interest to pursue them. Without these charges, investigators had no way of forcing gardshaw to return to scotland. Further investigation needed to be carried out before any murder charges could be laid. In the words of the public prosecutor, there is no murder without a body.
