Welcome to "Chasing Darkness: The Tragic Tale of Elizabeth Plunkett and Mary Duffy," where we dive deep into the harrowing tale of the 1976 murders of these two 23-year-old women. On that tragic night, the lives of Elizabeth and Mary were abruptly taken by the ruthless hands of John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans, two fugitives fleeing the English police. As news of the horrific crimes spread, fear and uncertainty gripped the communities in Co. Galway and Co. Wicklow, as well as the country as a whole. A nationwide manhunt ensued, with authorities tirelessly searching for Shaw and Evans, determined to bring them to justice. The search led investigators across picturesque landscapes, unearthing clues and secrets along the way. Witness testimonies and evidence slowly pieced together the chilling events of that night, revealing the true nature of the killers. Finally, after an intense pursuit, Shaw and Evans were apprehended, putting an end to their reign of terror. The communities breathed a collective sigh of relief, knowing that the threat was neutralized. Join us as we recount this tragic and gripping true-crime story, unravelling the events of the murders, the intense search, the dramatic arrest, the courtroom drama, and the ultimate outcome. "Chasing Darkness" sheds light on more of Ireland's dark secrets and the resilience of a nation seeking justice for the innocent lives lost. In this episode, I mistakenly referred to Castletymon Woods near Tallaght. The correct location is Castletimon Forest, near Brittas Bay, Co. Wicklow — just a few kilometres from where Elizabeth Plunkett was last seen. Apologies for the error, and thank you to listener who flagged it.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
