  The Murder of Inga Maria Hauser

  Sep 27, 202635 minS11

  In April 1988, eighteen-year-old German student Inga Maria Hauser boarded a ferry from Scotland to Northern Ireland during a solo InterRail trip. Fourteen days later, her body was found in Ballypatrick Forest, almost forty miles from Larne. Nearly four decades on, police have DNA, thousands of samples and a suspect they said was supported by a strong hypothesis, but nobody has ever been charged with her murder.

  The Unsolved Killing of Father Niall Molloy

  Sep 13, 202652 minS11

  This episode was first published on Patreon on February 2025. In 1985 a local and beloved priest was found dead in the bedroom of a high-society couple in Offaly. These were no strangers, in fact Therese Flynn was Father Molloy's business partner. Together, they had built an equestrian empire. To everyone's surprise, when police were eventually called, there was a confession. Therese's husband Richard said he was the culprit, but he said it was in self-defence. It wasn't long before rumours were swirling of an affair, of alleged dodgy business dealings and of a burglary of Father Molloy's will. Very soon after this, everything fell apart. 40 years later, this case is still open and nobody has served any time for the cold-blooded and violent killing of Father Niall Molloy, and this week, we ask why.

  Shaun Duffy: Murder in Donegal

  Sep 6, 202629 minS11

  In January 2005, 36-year-old Shaun Duffy returned to his home in Meenacross, Donegal, after celebrating his younger brother’s birthday. Hours later, he was found dead in his ransacked sitting room, having been stabbed, repeatedly struck on the head and wounded with a crossbow arrow. More than 21 years later, no one has ever been arrested. This week, we examine the investigation into Shaun’s murder, the rumours surrounding his business dealings and the theories linking his death to organised crime...and possibly to another unsolved disappearance in Donegal. This episode was written, hosted and produced by Jenny Claffey, with research by Karl O’Reilly. Sources: An Garda Síochána — Murder of Shaun Duffy, Meenacross, Co.
