The third season of Inside the Crime will be released on Tuesday, 30th January. It'll follow the story of Una Lynskey's murder in 1971. She disappeared just a few hundred metres from her home after stepping off the bus on Porterstown Lane, Co Meath on October 12th. What followed would shatter not only the lives of Una's loved ones, but many other families in the small rural community.
Una Lynskey was 19 years old in October 1971, and she had a job with the Land Commission in Dublin City.
On the evening of Tuesday 12th October, she stepped off a bus on the Fairyhouse Road near Ratoath, Co Meath when she hurried up Porterstown Lane towards her family's farm, a walk that would take no more than 15 minutes.
She never made it home.
A search began within the hour, but there was no sign of her.

Within an hour of Una's disappearance, the entire neighbourhood around Porterstown Lane was out looking for her.
Soon enough, gardaí were on the scene and beginning their investigation, and a Ford car became a focus point.

Her body was found before the end of 1971 and the investigation into her disappearance was upgraded to murder, but unfortunately it only added fuel to the fire of rumours already doing the rounds of Porterstown Lane.
And very quickly afterward...
Just a few months after the horrific events of December 1971, Martin Conmey and Dick Donnelly were charged Una Lynskey's murder.
Martin had made a false confession to gardaí at Trim Garda Station, however Dick refused to sign anything despite claiming he came under similar pressure.
They each hoped that the truth would emerge before the judge and jury at the Central Criminal Court in the height of the summer of 1972.
In this episod...
Having been convicted of Una Lynskey's murder, Martin Conmey and Dick Donnelly began their sentences in Mountjoy prison in 1972.
For Martin, his release almost three years later was supposed to mean a return to normality and a fresh start, but he found it almost unbearably hard to live with everything that had happened.
However more than a decade later, one seminal moment in the history of The Troubles would ignite a determination ...
