On the evening of December 21, 1988, shortly after taking off from London Heathrow en route to New York’s JFK, a Pan Am 747 named Maid of the Seas (N739PA) blew up at 31,000 feet over Scotland. Moments later, the flaming wreckage impacted the small town of Lockerbie. All 243 passengers and 16 crew members on the plane, as well as 11 people on the ground, were killed. Thus began one of the largest murder investigations in the history of the world. I flew to Scotland to cover that story, and the strong, haunting memories of those days remain with me, as vivid as ever, as I continue to cover one of the largest cold cases in history. Today, 37 years later, we remember and mourn that tragedy and the loss of 270 lives. It’s sad to report that, nearly four decades later, the Lockerbie story is far from over. At least two dozen suspects still remain unaccounted for — those who masterminded the bombing, provided and assembled the timer, fuses, and explosives. They packed the devices, set them, delivered them to Malta, and placed them on a connecting flight from Valletta to Frankfurt, which then connected with Pan Am 103. Many of these suspects are known and identified by authorities, yet they remain at large, scattered across the globe. This is a story I continue to follow. But today, and every day, we honor the memory of those lost and continue to hope that justice will ultimately prevail.
