The discovery comes after it was drained of water to allow a forensic search to take place. Renee MacRae and her three-year-old son Andrew were last seen in November 1976. Despite a huge investigation no trace of either was ever found. The 36-year-old mother-of-two’s BMW was found burned out in a lay-by south of Inverness. Yesterday, a Police Scotland spokesman confirmed that parts of a pushchair, believed to be the wheels, had been recovered from mud at the bottom of Leanach Quarry, near Culloden. Bone fragments have been found but it is not yet clear whether these are human or animal.
Detective Inspector Brian Geddes of Police Scotland, who is leading the investigation, said: “As part of the search operation at Leanach Quarry, numerous items have been found, many of which warrant further research and examination.
"Meticulous analysis is now ongoing to establish if any of these items would be relevant to the investigation into the murders of Renee and Andrew
