New evidence in the case of Moira Anderson, who disappeared after leaving her grandmother’s house in Coatbridge on 23 February 1957, has led to a search of a site at the Monkland Canal in Carnbroe, between Airdrie and Coatbridge.
The search will use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Sonar Scanning to identify any anomalies at the base of the three-metre deep canal, and apply magnetometry (Identification of magnetic anomalies) and earth science techniques to determine if there is any evidence of Moira’s remains.
