E23 - The Murder of Lawrence Haggart

**This Episode contains descriptions of a graphic nature, including crimes against children. Listener discretion is advised**

Lawrence Haggart was a popular and talented young man who lived in a two-story semi-detached house on Glenbervie Drive with his mother and two brothers. It was from his father that Lawrence got his passion and skills for football. Larry was not just an avid Celtic supporter, but back in the day, he had played for the semi-professional football club called Alloa Athletics. So, Larry knew first-hand what it was like to pursue your dreams in the field and always supported his son's ambitions. From the very beginning, friends and family were sure Lawrence, with his set of talents, was destined for great things and had a future as a professional football player. At the age of 15, Lawrence Haggart already had his life figured out—just for all his hopes and aspirations to be brutally ended in the most horrific crime.
