Uncovering the Truth:
The Tony Parsons Tragedy
Episode Summary
In this episode, Dawn welcomes Kevin, co-creator of the YouTube true crime channel Just Thought Lounge, to talk about the tragic case of Tony Parsons. Tony, a 63-year-old former Navy officer and cancer survivor, went missing during a solo charity bike ride in 2017. The episode describes the harrowing details of Tony’s disappearance, the subsequent discovery of his remains in 2021, and the shocking confession by Alexander McKellar, who, along with his brother Robert, was responsible for Tony’s death. The discussion highlights the critical role of Caroline Muirhead, who bravely gathered evidence against the brothers despite immense personal risk and police pressure. Dawn and Kevin also discuss the lenient sentences given to the McKellar brothers and the implications of the police’s treatment of Caroline.
