AN APPEAL to catch the killer of Caroline Glachan will appear on BBC Crimewatch on Monday.
Police Scotland's Homicide Governance & Review team including Detective Superintendent Jim Kerr will speak live on the show to appeal to the public to come forward with information over the 14-year-old's schoolgirl's murder.
Her mum Margaret McKeich and best friend Joanne Menzies will also feature on the show.

Caroline was attacked and her body was found on the banks of the River Leven in West Dunbartonshire on August 25 1996.
Videos of the popular teenager dancing and CCTV footage on the night she was killed will also be shown.
A timeline of the events leading up to her death will be broadcast to viewers watching.
That timeline will include her heading to meet her boyfriend in Renton at 11.45pm, having spent the evening with friends, and the shortcut she took from shops along Dillichip Loan towards The Towpath and the Black Bridge.

The ‘Donal MacIntyre: Unsolved’ TV programme also previously shone a light on the case.
The investigative journalist said on the show there is “a code of silence in the community which is preventing the truth from being told”.
Detective Superintendent Jim Kerr said: "I am pleased we managed to secure it. We did the ITV unresolved programme back in the day in 2005. That was the ninth anniversary. We got some information at that time but not enough."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
