00:00And for once he told the truth. And that set in train a catalogue of events that now we're in.
00:09Where we went to search the farms, he said he left her there.
00:13And now to have the Fraser family come forward, who tried to, two years ago, come forward to us directly and say,
00:22my father gave us information about where your brother is. And you need to go and check.
00:31Because before he died, he wanted us to have this information to give it to you.
00:35And they've put themselves in the line of fire, but no benefit. No benefit to them.
00:41And they've flown under their own steam from Israel today to be here. The whole family.
00:47No one's paid for them to be here. And I think they're incredibly brave people.
00:52And to come and show us where Muriel Mackay, my grandmother, is probably hidden.
01:01Muriel Mackay, the wealthy wife of newspaper executive Alec Mackay,
01:07was kidnapped for a £1 million ransom in 1969 after being mistaken for Anna Murdoch,
01:13the then-wife of another media mogul, Rupert Murdoch.
01:1855-year-old Miss Mackay was taken from her home in Wimbledon on the 29th of December 1969.
01:26Brothers Arthur and Niza Modine Hussain were later arrested and found guilty of her murder
01:33in what was one of the first murder cases to be bought without a body, as it was never found.
01:40On Monday, barristers for two of Miss Mackay's children, Ian Mackay and Diane Levinson,
01:47asked a judge to order that the homeowners of two neighbouring properties on Bethnal Green Road
01:55allow the family to conduct a ground-penetrating radar survey of a shared back garden,
02:02where her family believes Muriel Mackay's remains lie.
02:07The courts heard on Monday that the injunction bid came after the family received new information from a woman called Haley Frey.
02:16Miss Frey had claimed that her father said on his deathbed that he noticed a strong smell at the premises
02:25at the time of Miss Mackay's disappearance.
