The wealthy spinster's killer has never been brought to justice
The unsolved murder of Scottish heiress Jean Milne, which occurred over one hundred years ago in Dundee, has been re-examined by forensic experts.
"We wanted to look at a case that was going to be forensically rich that has many different types of elements of forensic applications from the crime scene to the court room - but also that has an abundance of opportunity in the modern day, so we can compare and contrast," Professor Niamh Nic Daeid, director of Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science explained.
Miss Milne was last seen alive on October 14, 1912 at an event at her local church. A witness named Andrew Hay reported seeing a well dressed man leaving Elmsgrove the following day. Upon seeing Mr Hay, the man quickly retreated back into the mansion. He added: "The crime scene itself was a bloody mess because the killer had bludgeoned Jean to death with a poker and there was blood splatter all across the hallway."
She said: "There was a fantastic amount of information available about the case - mainly from the case files that we were able to get."
