Calls for a new search for the body of Coatbridge schoolgirl Moira Anderson have been welcomed amid claims she may be buried in a mineshaft.

Sandra Brown believes her dad Alexander Gartshore murdered 11-year-old Moira in 1957.

She has been made aware of fresh information on where her body was dumped.

The details have been passed to police, claims Sandra, by an associate of Gartshore’s fellow suspect, James Gallogley.

Bus driver Gartshore and church elder Gallogley are both now dead but are strongly suspected of involvement in Moira’s murder in Coatbridge.

According to Sandra, the new informant has revealed that Moira’s body was placed in a disused mineshaft in Blairhill.
