A private detective reveals a diary helped identify a suspect in a 15-year-old murder case of a Scottish mother in Crete
Dumfries: So, there’s this wild story about a mum named Jean Hanlon who went missing in Crete back in 2009. Her body was found in a harbour, and her family always thought she was murdered. Fast forward 15 years, and a private detective named Haris Fluskounis has come into the picture.
Haris was brought in by Jean’s family, who never gave up on finding out what really happened. He took a fresh look at the case and found that Jean’s diary had some serious clues. It turns out that the diary laid out a timeline of her relationship with a guy who just wouldn’t take no for an answer.
According to Haris, Jean was trying to escape this guy who had been stalking her after she ended things. He was really persistent, and things escalated just days before her tragic death. It’s pretty chilling to think about how her diary helped piece together what went down.
Now, the police in Greece are gearing up to interrogate a suspect, who’s been hiding in plain sight for years. Haris spent three months digging through the case files and even tracked down people mentioned in Jean’s diary. He’s convinced that even after all this time, new evidence can still pop up.
Jean had moved to Crete to start fresh after a divorce, and her son Michael is still holding onto hope for justice. He’s super grateful to Haris for asking the right questions and getting closer to the truth. It’s a tough situation, but it sounds like they’re finally making some progress.
