EmailRelatives of a schoolgirl who vanished more than 50 years ago had their hopes dashed today after a search of a grave failed to find her remains.
The fate of Moira Anderson remains unknown after police concluded she was not buried in a plot at Old Monkland Cemetery in Coatbridge in north Lanarkshire, where she disappeared in 1957 at the age of 11.
It is widely believed that Moira was abducted and murdered, but her body has never been found.
