A teenage girl Pat McAdam disappears without a trace after a weekend in Glasgow shopping and partying wit h her best friend.
The following morning, bleary-eyed, they hitched a lift home from a lorry driver on London Road in Glasgow’s East End. Police were particularly keen to trace the mystery Glasgow lorry driver, a prime suspect in her disappearance. People she had met in Glasgow on the Saturday were interviewed, including guests at the late-night party.She told the police that the driver took the A74 towards Lockerbie before stopping briefly at a service station in Lesmahagow, near Lanark, where he bought Pat and Hazel a meal. They set off again, later cutting off towards Annan, where Hazel got out and waved her friend off.
Young was already facing a charge of raping a 19-year-old girl in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, in the south of England, where he had worked as a lorry driver. The incident had happened exactly a month before Pat went missing. It was beside a bridge over the River Milk, near Middleshaw, between Lockerbie and Annan but unfortunately, no body or other evidence was found.Meanwhile, Young was jailed for 18 months for the Rosson-Wye rape.
He was jailed for life and told he must serve a minimum of 30 years before he can apply for parole – later reduced to 25 on appeal. He had been convicted of the 1978 murder of Mary Gallacher at the High Court in Glasgow in 2021 following a review of forensics which had yielded a DNA match.
