In the last episode, we got to know Charles Self through the memories of his friends and colleagues. They spoke of a man who was generous, charming, talented and with a zest for life. However, just a few weeks shy of his 33rd birthday, Charles was murdered in his own home. Stabbed and strangled, left to die at the bottom of the stairs. He had brought someone home that night, but who? And there was another person asleep upstairs,...

In this episode, we delve deep into the garda investigation which was following a number of leads. Could the killer have been a male prostitute? Who was the man who went home with Charles that night? There was an unidentified finger print and bloodied shoeprint found at the scene - could these hold the key to the murderer? Meanwhile, concerns grew within the gay community at the number of men brought in for questioning, as well ...

In the weeks following Charles' murder, there seemed to be more questions than answers surrounding the killing. Hundreds of gay men were being interviewed, photographed and fingerprinted, but gardaí seemed no closer to finding the perpetrator. Then, in the early Autumn, two more gay men were killed. In this episode, we'll dig a little deeper into the unanswered questions that emerged out of the crime scene, as well as the all...

In this episode, we'll dig a little deeper into Bertie's story, his interactions with gardaí, and as...

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.

Una's body hadn't been found but the investigating officers were convinced within weeks they'd solved the case.

Or had they?

Having made false confessions to gardaí, Martin Conmey and Marty Kerrigan hoped the truth about what happened to Una Lynskey would emerge somehow, and this would lift the finger of suspicion.

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.

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 ...
