08/13/23 • 24 min

What if the person who took away your dreams, your ambitions, and your life was a like a ghost, leaving no traces behind? This is the haunting tale we unfold in our latest episode of Ireland Crimes and Mysteries. We transport you to 1999 and the untimely death of Raonaid Murray in South Dublin who was found lifeless in a shadowy walkway at just 17 by her own sister. We navigate through her aspirations, her friendships, and revisit the chilling night that marked the end of her journey, leaving behind a mystery that has baffled investigators for years. Journey with us as we peel back the layers of this cold case that has seen 3500 witness statements, 12 arrests, a prime yet elusive suspect, a chef with a questionable alibi, and yet, we are left with no answers. Despite a cold case review, her murderer remains at large, a phantom that lurks in the shadows. As we delve into the emotional plea for justice from Raonaid's family and their significant reward offer, we paint a vivid picture of a life stolen too soon, a crime unsolved, and a family's unending quest for closure. Tune in to this gripping episode and join us as we unearth the story behind this bewildering case.
