Jane Harrison was brutally murdered by her husband, and the heartbreaking case finally brought relief after Kevin Docherty was sentenced to prison for the crime after 18 years.

Doherty, Jane’s husband, has remained defiant about the murder despite cutting all communication with Taylor and Jane’s family after she vanished.

According to the prosecution, Doherty murdered her, placed her body in a locked garage, and then reported her missing the following day.
Doherty said detectives he believed Jane had left with another guy and pretended to be alive by pretending to make two calls from Jane to herself in front of her oldest son Ryan, who was 14 at the time.
When their mother vanished, Taylor, Jane and Doherty’s kid, who was just 15 months old, was being cared for by Ryan, Jane’s older son.

Kevin Docherty Family
The victim’s sister Maxine received a letter saying Doherty would be released in November next year.
In an interview, Jane’s sister Maxine, 58, of Islington, north London, said: “That monster is just going to walk out of prison laughing at us. My sister Claire and I struggled for years to get Jane’s case investigated after it fell into cold case files.
The struggle to pass “Helen’s Law,” which forbids perpetrators from being set free unless they have disclosed the whereabouts of their victims, included Maxine’s family.
Jane’s family renewed their appeal for information two years ago on BBC Crimewatch. Police offered a £10,000 reward for information leading to the discovery of her remains, but it was unsuccessful.
