Following the out-of-court settlement , Opposition parties in the Scottish parliament called for a public inquiry to be held into the McKie case . In March 2006 , Shirley McKie 's father , Iain , and Dr Jim Swire , father of Lockerbie bombing victim Flora , met to launch a campaign for a judicial inquiry which they hoped would investigate recent revelations of a link between the McKie case and the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial . After the meeting , Dr Swire said : However , the Scottish Executive ruled out any question of a judicial inquiry ( which has the power to compel the attendance of witnesses ) whilst Shirley McKie and her family announced their campaign for a public inquiry would end on 9 January 2007 &ndash; exactly ten years after the Marion Ross murder investigation began :
