Ireland Crimes and Mysteries

In the summer of 1995, 22-year-old Orla Benson travelled from Killarney to Boston for three months of work. She had just completed her degree in biotechnology and was due to return home within days.
On Friday, the 22nd of September, Orla joined friends for a night out in South Boston. She never made it home.
As detectives tried to establish what happened during the final part of Orla’s night, they uncovered a changing alibi, a violent past and serious failures that reached far beyond one man.
This is the story of Orla Benson.

At 4.01am on Saturday, the 16th of March 2024, 23-year-old Kelly Lynch left a short voicemail for her mother. Julieanne believed her daughter sounded hurt and was struggling to breathe.
It was the last known contact from Kelly.
The following morning, she was found in the Ulster Canal near Horseshoe Bridge in Monaghan. Her death was initially treated as an accident. But when Kelly’s family learned that 93 separate injuries or marks had been documented on her body, they began asking questions.
What happened after Kelly was last seen on CCTV? How did she reach the canal? And could one fall explain everything recorded on her body?

In this week’s episode, Nules looks into a Victorian Irish murder that challenged even the most advanced scientific knowledge of the time. When Mary Laura Cross died after weeks of illness, her death was initially accepted as natural. But the actions of her husband in the weeks that followed called everything people thought they knew into question, leading to an exhumation and a discovery that would place her death at the centre of one of the most closely watched murder trials of the Victorian era.

On 21 June 2020, 14-year-old Noah Donohoe left home in Belfast on his bike to meet friends. He never arrived.
Six days later, his body was found in a storm drain in north Belfast.
In this episode, I go through the evidence heard at the inquest into Noah’s death, including the CCTV footage, the search for Noah, and what the court heard about his final movements.
And six years on, the question at the heart of it is still the same: how did Noah come to be there?

In this week's episode Nules looks into the case of Ciara Glennon, a young woman whose disappearance in 1997 still resonates decades later. On a seemingly ordinary night, Ciara left her friends in Perth after a night out to walk the short distance to a taxi rank, only to vanish without a trace, setting off a search and investigation that would span more than twenty years. Her story uncovers a tangled web of crime, forensic breakthroughs, and relentless hope, culminating in a conviction that finally brings her Irish born parents, family and friends some answers. You'll discover how decades old evidence, modern DNA analysis, and a determined family kept the case alive through the darkest years and how this case became one of Australia's most significant criminal cases.
