CASE SUMMARY

In April 2005 the skeletal remains of a 23 year old female student were discovered by her boyfriend amongst the embers of a burned out mobile home located on private land in Ireland’s County Clare.

The tragedy was initially investigated as a suspicious death, until a review of the case five years later resulted in the victim being exhumed for further testing following years of pressure from her family.

A second post mortem examination revealed that a violent murder had taken place.

The owner of the wreckage within which the victim was found remains the prime and only suspect in the investigation. It is widely believed that he faked his own death in order to evade authorities.

He is now thought to be living in one of several European countries, with unconfirmed sightings reported in recent years in addition to being traced to a drug rehabilitation facility in Scotland by investigators.

It’s also believed that family and other associates are aiding in keeping his whereabouts unknown.

His ability to remain undetected has undoubtedly been aided by the fact that investigators bizarrely refused to release his name to the public for a number of years.

A huge thank you to @historicalspotsireland for capturing the fantastic drone footage used in this video, and all of the other creators that allowed me to use their existing videos.
