What would you do if the person you loved confessed to killing someone? In this episode of This Much Is True Crime, we look at the disturbing case of Alexander “Sandy” McKellar, whose relationship with forensic pathologist Caroline Muirhead took a horrifying turn when he revealed the truth about the disappearance of cyclist Tony Parsons. What began as a romance became a nightmare of secrets, buried evidence and an impossible moral choice. Could Caroline protect the man she loved? Or would she help bring justice for the victim he tried to hide? This is a story about love, loyalty, guilt — and the moment a proposal turns into a confession. Produced by Podcast House.
