The man convicted of killing Renee and Andrew MacRae died without revealing where the bodies were buried.
The discovery of Renee MacRae's BMW on fire in a lay-by south of Inverness on Friday 12 November 1976 sparked one of the UK's longest murder inquiries.
An extensive police investigation at the time involved searches of moorland and a flooded quarry. The case has been reinvestigated several times over the last four decades. The trial judge, Lord Armstrong, described the killings as "executions". MacDowell, whose lawyers said he was experiencing ill-health during the trial, denied all the charges against him."The fact he served so little time in jail does rankle me," said Det Ch Insp Brian Geddes, who led the reinvestigation that resulted in the case being brought to court.
The senior officer said a review of investigative material was already ongoing in an effort to identify any opportunities for a fresh search to be conducted.MacDowell, who was married, had been the company secretary at a building firm owned by Mrs MacRae's estranged husband, Gordon.
