men to missing people, forensic

0:26

justice, What's The Story Crime

0:28

is the home for all

0:30

true crime fans who want

0:33

bingeable, addictive, crime-based content. In

0:50

many missing persons cases, there's

0:53

a potential suspect, a

0:55

clear motive, or a

0:57

reason why the missing person might

0:59

have wanted to vanish. But

1:03

sometimes cases come along without any

1:05

of that. Cases which

1:07

feel like such a mystery, it's

1:10

hard to know what to think, or

1:12

where to start. Cases

1:14

like that of

1:16

51-year-old mother and grandmother

1:19

Patricia Duncan, who

1:21

disappeared more than 20 years

1:23

ago. From the

1:25

outside, Patricia lived a full life.

1:28

She had seven children and 11

1:30

grandchildren, all of whom she doted on.

1:33

She was part of the local amateur

1:35

dramatics group, and she shared hobbies

1:37

with her husband George. She

1:40

had no known financial stresses

1:42

or mental health concerns. In

1:46

short, Patricia seemed to

1:48

be thriving. So

1:51

why? In 2002, in

1:55

the middle of the night, is a

1:57

huge storm raged outside. Would

2:00

Patricia have gone missing from

2:03

her family home? No

2:06

one has heard from her since. I'm

2:10

Pandora Sikes and you're listening to

2:12

The Missing, a What's

2:14

the Story original podcast series brought

2:16

to you with the help of the charities

2:18

Missing People and Locate

2:21

International. They

2:23

believe that all of the cases in

2:25

this series could still be

2:27

solved. This

2:30

is The Missing, Patricia Duncan.

2:40

Patricia Duncan was born in Fife,

2:43

Scotland, not long after the end

2:45

of World War II. She

2:50

was born on the 6th of August

2:52

1951. She was the

2:54

eldest of three children, she had

2:56

a younger brother and a younger sister.

2:59

Patricia's father worked as a bus driver

3:02

and her mother stayed at home to look after the

3:04

children. When Patricia was

3:06

in her teens it was the swinging

3:08

60s, a decade of freedom,

3:10

fun and liberation for many. But

3:13

Patricia spent much of her time at the

3:15

local Salvation Army and it

3:17

was here that she met her future

3:20

husband George. It was

3:22

just a church skin to tell

3:24

you about Gordon. And Jesus

3:26

and that and Mum and Dad

3:28

were both part of that. My Dad's parents,

3:30

my grandparents, they were part of it and

3:33

that's how they met my Mum. Patricia

3:35

and George fell in love. George

3:38

was six years older than Patricia and

3:41

he had three sons from a previous

3:43

relationship. When they got together

3:45

my Mum took on her children

3:47

because they were young when they

3:49

got together. She was

3:52

their Mum, didn't they treat them

3:54

as if they were her children.

3:56

She treated them as if

3:58

she'd given birth to that kids. It

4:00

wasn't long before Patricia became a mum to

4:03

their first daughter together, a girl

4:05

they named Louise. And soon after

4:07

that, the couple decided to get married. We

4:10

were married on the 12th

4:12

of February 1977. It's

4:15

a black and white photo that we've

4:17

got. Dad was wearing a

4:19

suit. Mum was wearing

4:21

a very pretty dress with

4:24

a collar and boots.

4:26

Very very beautiful

4:29

and very happy. That's

4:31

one of my favourite foodies that my mum and dad

4:33

are still ready for. Patricia

4:35

and George have three boys and one

4:37

daughter. And after they got

4:40

married, they went on to have three more daughters.

4:42

And in 1987, the family

4:45

of nine moved to Bucky, a

4:47

scenic fishing village on the north east

4:50

coast of Scotland. Joanne

4:53

is Patricia's second eldest

4:55

daughter. We moved

4:59

to Bucky from Mintloff when I

5:01

was seven years old. We've

5:03

got no further seals. We've

5:05

got quite a few bits that

5:08

have seals. The print gourd

5:10

down, which is just a two

5:12

minute drive from Bucky. It's just the

5:14

next little village along and the seals

5:16

gather there, which were quite popular for

5:18

a lot of people. Come to Bucky to visit the

5:21

seals. Nature enthusiasts

5:23

often visit Bucky for

5:25

the marine life with dolphins,

5:27

otters and ospreys all

5:30

living alongside the famous seals. It's

5:33

a quiet, picturesque place where

5:35

not much often happens and

5:38

the Duncan family were happy there. In

5:41

our house we had four girls

5:43

and three boys and mum and dad.

5:46

We had a family dog called Sheba.

5:49

That's a luster. That's a

5:51

fight in between the children, as you

5:53

should expect. We did what's

5:55

like family things, family trips.

5:59

Whenever I went abroad. or anything when

6:01

we were younger, but we

6:03

always like to work carvand holidays,

6:06

what's our day trips and the when we

6:08

were often the summer holidays and things, just

6:11

a very busy family. And

6:14

my mum was like the root

6:16

of every handkerchief, she was

6:18

there for every one of us. Patricia's

6:21

husband George had his own business

6:23

which many of the family, including

6:26

Patricia, ended up working for. My

6:32

dad's business was it's called

6:35

North East Reinforcing, which

6:38

is a steel fixing business.

6:40

So they did the reinforcement

6:43

for bridges, buildings, so the

6:45

steel work that's inside the

6:47

buildings to make, give it the strength. My

6:50

three brothers worked for my dad, my

6:52

older sister, she worked for my dad, me

6:55

and my other two sisters, we would

6:57

go out at weekends and help my

6:59

dad and we just absolutely loved

7:02

it. And obviously Louise

7:04

would help my mum do like

7:06

the paperwork side and things as well,

7:09

which that's what my mum did was the

7:11

paperwork side of my dad's business. And

7:14

despite having seven children of their own,

7:16

Patricia and George welcomed more

7:18

into their home. As

7:21

I went up to high school, mum

7:23

and dad spoke, they spoke to all

7:25

the children and they decided

7:27

that they wanted to foster.

7:31

So we mum and dad

7:33

fostered for a few big,

7:36

a few years, which is good

7:38

because a lot of parents, many us kids and

7:40

that. What

7:42

my mum and dad were like, they

7:44

were involved, all their

7:46

children and most of the decision making

7:48

for things like that, because

7:50

obviously it was going to affect everyone lives as well. In

7:54

later years, Patricia also cared for

7:56

her mother and father-in-law who moved

7:58

into a property next The

8:01

family home had a little granny flat

8:03

attached to it and that's

8:05

so my dad's mum and dad, my

8:07

granny and granddad stayed there. Just

8:10

before my mum went missing, my

8:12

granny started showing signs of dementia.

8:16

Granny was still going out and things and that

8:18

bit like, they needed to have doctor's appointments and

8:20

things. My mum would take them,

8:23

like my granddad had diabetes so

8:25

when he had the diabetes clinic and that it was

8:27

my mum that drove them there. A

8:29

lot of the time it was mum who cooked for the whole

8:31

family and that as well as granny

8:33

and granddad even though they had their own little

8:35

granny flat, didn't have a kitchen. But

8:39

her life wasn't just about caring for

8:41

others. Patricia had her own

8:44

interests too. She was in

8:46

this amateur dramatics group which I used to

8:48

be in when I was still

8:50

at school and I used

8:53

to go and help do teas and the

8:55

coffees and that came like at the interval

8:58

and not for the cost.

9:01

Snow fight in the 7th of North, she was the

9:03

mirror. Just

9:05

remember that I've been a white dresser and

9:08

been behind the mirror. And

9:10

there was another more unusual hobby

9:12

that Patricia shared with George. They

9:17

were in the cowboys

9:19

and not so they would dress up. They

9:22

would go to gala's and

9:24

they would be part of western

9:26

groups and they would put on a little

9:29

mini sketch of

9:32

a shootout

9:34

and things like that. And

9:36

as we got older and we moved to

9:38

Bucky they also did a

9:40

stall that had BB

9:43

gun things and they would

9:45

do the targets and members of the

9:47

public could teat to shoot the targets.

9:51

Patricia and George even created a

9:53

mini replica western town in the

9:55

family's back garden and

9:58

every now and then the children would get involved. We

10:01

used to dress us up, everyone

10:03

had to dress us up by either

10:05

as cowboys or cow girls

10:07

or dressing up and taking the

10:10

clothes that we used to wear back in that day.

10:13

The family were all close and that didn't

10:15

change when Joanne had grown up and left

10:17

home. She soon had

10:19

her own child as she moved to

10:22

a place nearby but saw her mum

10:24

most days. Just

10:26

spent the time with our kids, like,

10:29

in day trips and things like that, going to the

10:31

beach. And that obviously we lived

10:33

in on the coast and not with plenty

10:35

of beaches that we could go to. Go

10:38

for walks with a dog. We used to go

10:40

shopping together, we would sit and

10:43

watch TV and things together. And

10:46

obviously she looked after my son when

10:48

I was working, which is

10:50

probably the only person apart

10:52

from my dad and

10:55

my sisters that I would probably choose to

10:57

look after my children. She

10:59

was a real family

11:01

home person. In

11:03

November 2002, Patricia

11:06

helped to organise a birthday party

11:08

for Joanne's son and another one

11:10

of her grandchildren. She

11:16

went missing an exact

11:18

week after my son's birthday.

11:21

She had been at his birthday party

11:23

and everything. It was my niece's,

11:25

my sister's, you and his daughter's birthday party as

11:27

well because I did a joint birthday party

11:29

because there's only four days between them.

11:33

Patricia had seemed happy at the party and

11:35

was looking forward to Christmas, one

11:37

of her favourite times of year. My

11:39

mum loved it. She loved seeing

11:42

the children at spaces and that came

11:44

with the decorations and the lights and

11:46

things. Me and Fiona and Sarah

11:48

were younger. Mum and Dad would

11:50

take us out in the car and

11:52

we would drive around all the town

11:55

to see all the different lights that people had up

11:57

and everything. And Mum just loved doing that. us

12:00

who died. That November she

12:02

had already started making plans for

12:04

the family's Christmas day. We'd

12:07

all be there, the whole family, brothers, sisters,

12:10

grandchildren, we'd all be there on

12:12

Christmas day. Mum would cook for

12:15

all of us on Christmas day. And

12:18

she also had been organizing

12:20

for Christmas, getting Christmas presents,

12:23

sorting out what she was going to buy my son

12:25

and my sister's daughter. She

12:28

also invited my partner

12:30

for Christmas lunch. Joanne

12:34

sees this as a clear sign that

12:36

Patricia was not intending to go

12:38

missing. For some day

12:40

if they're planning to go you wouldn't be

12:42

doing things like that. We

12:45

always get asked do you think she's

12:47

planned this and I

12:49

don't think she did. By this

12:51

time most of Patricia and

12:53

George's children had left home except

12:56

for their two youngest daughters.

13:00

But the house was still regularly filled

13:02

with visits from Patricia's

13:04

oldest kids and grandchildren. On

13:08

the day before Patricia disappeared one

13:11

of Joanne's younger sisters had decided

13:13

to stay with her and

13:15

as usual Patricia was helping everyone

13:17

with logistics. So

13:21

my mum took me to pick

13:23

up my son from school and

13:26

then we went back down to my mum's

13:28

so it said I could get her sleep

13:30

and stuff and that and then mum

13:32

took me home. With one

13:34

of her younger daughters staying with Joanne

13:37

Patricia welcomed another of her older

13:39

girls back home. My

13:42

sister Fiona and her daughter went down to

13:44

mum and she went and picked them up

13:46

and she went down to mum and dad's

13:48

to see the night. So

13:51

two of Patricia's daughters as

13:53

well as one granddaughter were

13:55

staying overnight at the

13:58

family home. watched

14:01

a movie, see

14:03

Fiona Louise, my mum

14:05

and my dad, and when that

14:07

movie finished Fiona and Louise went to

14:09

bed, mum and dad went

14:11

to watch another movie and say

14:14

they must have went to bed at half

14:16

11, 12 o'clock. Patricia's

14:18

husband George recalled that

14:20

they both went to bed at the

14:22

same time where he says

14:24

they had a snuggle and went

14:26

to sleep. At around

14:29

7 a.m. the next morning George

14:31

woke up. And

14:33

then when dad got up the

14:36

next morning, mum wasn't there. He

14:42

thought she was downstairs. Louise was

14:44

there so he asked Louise for his mum

14:46

and she goes, is she not in bed?

14:49

And he goes no. So

14:52

at that point my mum had a lot of animals, and

14:54

she was a little bit of pig with ducks and

14:56

chickens in the back garden. So dad thought,

14:58

well, it's a really bad day

15:01

because the weather was atrocious,

15:03

rain and everything. He

15:05

thought, well, she went out to feed

15:07

them and she's maybe slept or something.

15:10

George went outside to see if he

15:13

could find Patricia on the property somewhere.

15:16

But there was no sign of her. So

15:18

dad did jump in the car and have

15:20

a drive about, see if he could see

15:23

him and went to, I think he went

15:25

to some of the shops and that she

15:27

would normally go shopping. Joanne

15:29

found out her mum was missing

15:32

when she called the family home. I

15:36

fought to see

15:38

if she was OK to look

15:40

after my son because she was meant to be looking after

15:42

him that day for when I went to work. And

15:45

it was my sister that

15:47

had answered the phone, Louise, and

15:50

she had said that

15:53

mum's not here and that we don't know

15:55

where she is. So I told

15:57

my sister, Sheila, and she just popped her

15:59

bum. and she just had her straight down

16:01

to the family home. And

16:04

I had to wait for my partner to come to

16:06

look after my son because I didn't want to take

16:08

him down just because I didn't know

16:11

what was going on. So I didn't want to worry him

16:14

because he was only five at the time. And

16:17

then we headed down and know

16:20

that that was out in the

16:22

car looking. But

16:25

despite driving around everywhere he

16:27

could think of, George

16:30

found no sign of Patricia.

17:41

nowhere else to try, he reported

17:43

her missing to the police.

17:46

Mom never went anywhere without something new

17:48

and free of she was. Or

17:51

for what kind of time she would be home. If

17:54

there was no do that, for, came for

17:56

her to say to, she would leave a

17:58

note saying. right to see if

18:01

we could do the shopping or

18:04

whatever. Right, nothing.

18:07

So it was so out of

18:09

clear, that's what got us

18:12

so worried. And

18:14

I think because it

18:16

was out of constant, that's why the

18:19

police were concerned and put

18:21

police down to the ground straight away. When

18:23

police searched the home, they

18:26

tried to establish which personal items

18:28

Patricia had taken with her. She

18:31

left with, she had the clothes that

18:33

she was wearing, which

18:36

was a black pair of trousers. I can't remember

18:38

what tops she had on, but I know she

18:41

had a brown sheepskin jacket

18:43

that she was wearing, black shoes.

18:47

And she had her cigarettes and lighter, and that

18:49

was it. She didn't

18:51

take her handbag or purse or

18:53

anything. Which made it

18:55

even more concerning on

18:58

the day that she

19:00

was missing, the fact that she didn't

19:02

have anything but that apart from her

19:04

cigarettes and lighter. Throughout

19:07

October and November 2002,

19:10

Bucky was experiencing record

19:12

levels of rainfall. And

19:15

on the 15th of November, the

19:17

day Patricia went missing, the

19:20

area was engulfed in a huge

19:22

storm. On

19:25

the morning that she'd went missing, it

19:28

was a stormy day,

19:30

a very stormy day. The

19:33

sea was coming over the sea walls, and

19:36

I think anybody would really go out for a walk. It

19:39

was so windy and the rain was just

19:42

pummeling down. It wasn't even

19:45

taking time to hit the ground. So,

19:48

Patricia had left the house, carrying

19:51

just her cigarettes, wearing

19:53

a sheepskin jacket in

19:55

some of the worst weather the town

19:58

had known. And

20:00

what's more, she seemed to

20:02

have simply disappeared in

20:04

the middle of the night. Between

20:06

12 and 12 o'clock on

20:08

the Friday night and 7 o'clock on

20:10

the Saturday morning, between that time

20:13

that's when she

20:15

vanished. The

20:18

police conducted door-to-door inquiries

20:21

across Bucky, but no

20:23

one had seen or heard from

20:26

Patricia. It

20:28

was a huge search effort

20:31

involving door-to-door inquiries. I

20:33

do know that they had a dog out.

20:35

I think it was

20:37

a couple of days after mum had went

20:40

missing. I think

20:42

it was a sniffer dog, I think it

20:44

was an actual cadaver dog that had taken

20:46

out. And then somebody else told

20:49

me that even

20:51

the weather would still be able

20:53

to pick up a scent. The

20:56

family quickly banded together to search

20:58

for Patricia. Well, without

21:00

just walking for

21:03

miles, just in case, she

21:05

had went for a walk and something had happened

21:08

and she'd failed because of the search and

21:11

terrible weather. And my dad

21:13

and my sister Louise put

21:15

up posters and

21:18

they went to the police just to make sure that it

21:20

was OK for them to put the posters up. The

21:23

family's posters, alongside various

21:25

news appeals, spread

21:27

news of Patricia's disappearance throughout

21:29

the country and

21:31

even resulted in some tips. When

21:36

the sightings did come in and my

21:38

dad was every single one, if

21:41

she could have managed she would get one of the

21:44

older children to go to these

21:46

sightings. George travelled far

21:48

and wide in the hope that one

21:50

of the sightings might lead him

21:52

to his wife. He even flew to Malta. There

21:57

was a couple that was in Malta.

22:00

at honeymooning and they

22:02

thought they had seen my mum and

22:05

so they were just

22:07

like we're going and got

22:09

Louise to book tickets for them if you

22:11

wanna and they flew out to Malta and

22:13

spoke to the priest there and I think

22:15

that they're always involved in things that

22:18

it turned out not to be my mum. The

22:22

family received reports of sightings

22:24

in Malta, in Venice,

22:27

Aberdeenshire and even London.

22:30

But none of them could be verified and

22:33

Patricia's daughter Joanne could see no

22:35

reason she would have simply upped

22:38

and left. It's

22:40

just a mystery, I think the

22:42

priest spoke to the doctors and

22:44

there was no depression or

22:47

anything, none that we've seen

22:49

and I know that depression is really

22:51

really easy to hide from your loved

22:53

ones and that but there

22:55

was nothing along

22:57

that lines of anything, it's just a

23:01

complete mystery and as

23:04

we obviously we are still in limbo to

23:07

why this has happened. The

23:10

trail was running increasingly cold

23:12

until seven years

23:15

after Patricia first went missing, her

23:18

husband had his own sighting.

23:24

In 2009 it was

23:26

an ITV news report or something

23:28

and he thought he'd seen my mum behind

23:32

the news report us. George

23:35

reported his sighting to the police.

23:38

The police had checked and I

23:40

wasn't, my mum it was just something

23:43

that it looked like. Many

23:45

families of missing people say

23:47

they never stop looking and

23:50

they often see their vanished loved

23:52

one in the faces of others.

23:55

If they person you see you're like

23:57

it's not mum, just the Read:

24:00

the war. Car They. Come out

24:02

of the guinea he as and and even.

24:04

My partner to that he was was condemned in

24:06

Glasgow. On this member of

24:09

them to taste lose any sleep

24:11

Thoughts: Gnosticism. And

24:13

he literally stop do for a.

24:16

Similar was can still do but he's

24:18

doing to both ten city schools to

24:20

follow the man and his height and

24:22

I probably would have a smoker. That

24:25

and to new of it's had on

24:27

not for itself as the it wasn't

24:29

it wasn't pass it was just some

24:31

see the zebra did like a. It's

24:35

twenty one years since Patricia

24:37

went missing. And life.

24:40

Agonizingly goes on. Patricia.

24:44

Now has seven more grandchildren. The

24:47

she has never met. An

24:49

undo that subsystem of the. And

24:51

my door out and both my

24:53

sister's kids all know everything about

24:56

them with it's like that Knew

24:58

was. That has never. Made

25:00

us because we just tell them

25:02

everything. And then Cisco.

25:04

I am I supposed to.

25:07

They cancelled some says a

25:09

grandson. Just ugly consensus born

25:11

in most years. An.

25:14

Infinite Number and Services.

25:17

Do and of. Accidents way

25:19

since the British. Sightings.

25:22

Have tried. I'm. A. Police

25:24

investigation has gone cold. And

25:27

Patricia family are no closer

25:29

to finding out Classy s.

25:35

Real. Besides the it does get

25:37

easier. It's analysis was. Some

25:40

day, so hopefully the disease and then

25:42

authorities. Issued you to stick to them

25:44

are. Especially when it comes

25:47

to pass the and Christmas and thanks.

25:49

Yeah like on Monday? Love Not. For

25:52

years after her mother went missing. To

25:55

on would buy her Christmas presents and the

25:57

hoped she'd be home in time to open.

26:01

My partner says the kidney to stop.

26:04

Torturing yourself by going into and these

26:07

tests and not a preserved in your

26:09

hopes up such as good a comeback

26:11

editor's note and he you don't know

26:13

that not that happened. Patricia

26:16

was the center as a family who

26:18

told her and you haven't stopped searching

26:20

for her. For over two

26:22

decades. Slipknot,

26:27

Just my mom. She was my

26:29

mother's spent. Please stay

26:31

google month for. Advice

26:34

on Fc sick. And they.

26:39

Served. It

26:42

to sleep. Remember this

26:45

is. Because

26:47

the other Mr. Snail. Sigma.

26:52

The costs. Has been

26:54

so long since the next. Okay, Because

26:57

the Incas proof of. What

27:00

feels like. The

27:02

same with a smile. A

27:04

compliment Progress has helped to smell flint. The name

27:07

is. Patricia had no

27:09

known mental health problems. The

27:12

family one and financial stress. And

27:15

everyone thought she was happy. But

27:18

she really want any nice as is sometimes

27:20

the case when people go missing. Why

27:23

else? Would she? they're

27:25

missing to one has never stopped.

27:28

Puzzling. I've read. At

27:30

the as a service to am think

27:32

the please spoke to the doctors and

27:35

there was no to play center. They

27:37

listen and none that be seen and

27:39

I know that deflation is super easy.

27:41

Really easy to hide some your loved

27:44

ones and not bet m there was

27:46

nothing. Alone Outlines

27:48

of any sense. just. A

27:52

complete mystery and. His

27:54

way over see we're still have been

27:56

booed to worry. this is often. Could

28:00

she have been hiding problems, a

28:03

feeling overwhelmed? Did

28:06

she leave on a whim, explaining why

28:08

she took nothing except the clothes

28:10

she was wearing and some

28:12

cigarettes? Could

28:14

the high seas and a huge storm

28:16

on the night of Patricia's disappearance

28:19

be responsible for causing

28:21

her harm? Could

28:24

she leave for a new life? Or

28:27

is someone else involved in

28:29

the disappearance of Patricia Duncan?

28:34

It does get harder and

28:37

especially not knowing the

28:40

reason for why it's happened. In

28:43

this case, my mum's case, it's

28:45

just she was there and she's

28:49

like a fatherated basically. Joanne

28:52

firmly believes that her mum

28:54

is still out there somewhere.

28:57

But it's all I

28:59

would like to know is that she is OK,

29:02

even if she didn't want to come home. As

29:05

long as we know that she's OK, then

29:09

I'll make it easier for us in

29:12

a way because we know that

29:15

there's nothing wrong with her. We

29:17

love her. We

29:19

just want her to be happy and

29:21

safe. And we just

29:23

like to know that she is happy and safe,

29:25

even if she doesn't want to come home, just

29:28

to get in touch with, like I say,

29:30

missing people and to say, Luke and Patricia

29:33

Duncan, can you let my family know that

29:35

I am fine? The

29:37

family are desperate for anyone who

29:39

knows anything at all to come

29:41

forward. They got in

29:44

touch with missing people. They

29:46

didn't even have to tell us who they

29:49

are or anything. They got in touch with

29:51

missing people, even the police, just

29:53

to let Them know

29:55

that they either know where she is

29:57

or they've seen someone that looks like

29:59

her. Come. Up with

30:01

mean. Liberal. To me, my

30:03

phone which. In

30:14

many cases, it takes just one

30:16

piece of information. To lead

30:19

police and family. To the

30:21
