Bartender helped tragic Robert just days before his frozen body was found
Mother-of-four Lorri Gifford revealed that she encountered Robert Reid, 29, “flat on his back” and nearly unconscious at a Penicuik bus stop on the night of Saturday, January 19 – only days before his body was found in the back garden of a property in the town’s Strathesk Place.
The 51-year-old said she had a “gut feeling” that the body discovered by 13-year-old Kelsey Craig on Wednesday afternoon belonged to the man she had helped at the bus shelter opposite a Tesco supermarket in Edinburgh Road.
