Did he meet with foul play, vanish voluntarily, or is there a missing clue waiting to be uncovered? Seventeen years later, James’ family still seeks answers. Join us as we explore the strange and unsolved disappearance of James Patrick Grealis.
On the 23rd of February 2011, 38-year-old Esra Uyrun leaves her home alone in Clondalkin, Dublin, Ireland in the small family car. It’s around 7.15 to 7.20 am.

Her car is found in Bray very later that evening. 14 years later, her family still ask where is Esra and what happened to her? In this Radio Espial episode, we are joined by Berna Fiden for an interview on her sister's case. Later in the episode, we will discuss the current case status and updates.
