Convicted paedophile who was questioned over missing Bonhill teen found dead at home
31.05.2022 - 07:01 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A convicted paedophile who was questioned over the disappearance of a Bonhill teen - who vanished more than four decades ago - has died.
Norman Duncan, 75, was found dead at his home in Ladyton last week.
Police Scotland confirmed officers had been called to an address in the Bonhill neighbourhood following a sudden death and confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances.
A spokesperson said: “Around 8.35pm on Wednesday, May 25, police were called to a property in Ladyton, Bonhill, following the sudden death of a 75-year-old man.
“There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”
The pensioner was investigated by police over the disappearance of his stepdaughter Mary Duncan, who was last seen in 1976, aged 17.
Despite extensive searches for Mary, including at Norman Duncan’s home, the Vale of Leven Hospital and in Helensburgh, her case remains unsolved.
Officers swooped on Duncan’s house in 2019 in the hope of clues after launching a fresh missing persons probe.
Police would not confirm the search was linked to the missing girl, but her sister Mandy Duncan said at the time: “We are praying that there is something in that house which will lead us to Mary and bring us closure.
"All we can do now is wait — we just want it to be over.”
A forensic team combed through the terraced house during a seven-day search, while Duncan was behind bars for twisted crimes.
In 2016, he was convicted of impregnating a 15-year-old girl and sexually abusing three children nearly half a century earlier.
He was found guilty of six charges involving four girls aged between eight and 15, all committed between the 1960s and 1970s, and received a five-year prison sentence.
