ÁINE SPEAKS OUT: MARIE KILMARTIN CASE UPDATE - Radio Espial EP50


Since we recorded our original Timeline on the Marie Kilmartin case, we have been in contact with her daughter Áine once again and would like to bring you the following update that sheds a great deal more background on the case.

However, we felt the information provided stretched far beyond just a short few minutes of update. So much, that we have decided on an unplanned Radio Espial Episode 50.

I want to state that what follows is not one of our normal case Timelines and Analysis. It is testimony and an account of the tireless work and research Áine has carried out into her mother’s initial disappearance in 1993, the later discover of her body at Pim’s Lane, a bogland, six months later.

Marie Kilmartin’s case is classified as a murder case by An Garda Siochana and included a series of arrests between 1994 and 2008. No one has yet been charged with her murder as of 2024.

Following our broadcast of the Marie Kilmartin Case Timeline, Áine, her daughter posted a very lengthy comment on the Radio Espial Channel. We felt her comment and testimony and her experience and research of her mother’s murder case deserved far more highlight than a posted comment. This case was deeply troubling to us from the outset, and left a great deal of questions in our minds. Not only has Áine brought some clarity to the case in the following additional information, but she has shared a considerable amount of case file documentation, audio and video footage through multiple interviews with case witnesses, but also court, medical and private files which considerably substantiate the detail in her testimony and statement to us.

We have verified the documentation provided to us by Áine. We thought long and hard about the best way to progress forward. I have spent much of the past week working on the following with Áine. We opted not to do an in-camera interview for a Radio Espial Episode. Áine has been through enough. This is about justice for Marie Kilmartin and the person(s) responsible for her murder in December 1993.

For obvious legal reasons, there are people who cannot be named in this episode, and said verified documentation, audio and video files, not shared here which may later become a part of future prosecutions.

The following episode deals with very difficult subjects, so viewer discretion is advised. This is a personal account and testimony by one critical person in this case. This still remains an ongoing investigation into a murder. I would strongly recommend that you FIRST view our Marie Kilmartin Murder Timeline episode.

There is absolutely no value or context in viewing this episode without having already done that. As with many of our follow-up case updates, we are not here in this episode to re-walk you through the case once again.

Radio Espial's Mick Rooney explores the timeline and events surrounding her disappearance. McCarrick was born on Long Island, New York and she grew up and lived in Bayport until her move to Ireland in January 1987, aged 19, to study at St Patrick’s College for Teacher Training in Drumcondra.

The Murder of Grace Livingstone - A Baffling COLD CASE - Radio Espial EP68

On a cold December evening in 1992, the peaceful and affluent suburb of Malahide, North Dublin, was shattered by a brutal and baffling crime. Grace Livingstone, a 56-year-old wife, mother, and respected member of the local community, was executed in her own bedroom with a single shotgun blast to the back of the head. Her killer vanished without a trace. Despite early suspicions pointing to her husband, a high-ranking tax investigator who owned the very weapon that was used, no one was ever charged. No motive was ever confirmed. More than thirty years later, the murder of Grace Livingstone remains one of Ireland’s most unsettling and high-profile unsolved cases—an enduring cold case marked by missteps, suspicion, and controversy. What follows is the Radio Espial TIMELINE—a gripping, detailed reconstruction of a murder that stunned a nation. This is not just a cold case... it's a story of how truth and a murderer can vanish in plain sight.

MOSS MOORE: The Unsolved Irish Murder COLD CASE

Dan Foley and Maurice ‘Moss’ Moore were neighbours and friends in Reamore, about 26 kilometres from Listowel Town, County Kerry, Ireland. Moore was 12 years younger, a bachelor living alone with two dogs for company; Foley lived with his wife and her brother. Their houses were separated by just 90 metres. As farmers with small holdings in a tight-knit community, they worked together cutting turf and harvesting hay. The pair would meet daily at the local creamery and also played cards with each other in the evenings with other friends. Dan Foley worried his cattle were wandering away from his house towards the bog, and concerned about welfare of his livestock on such ground, he put down a boundary fence along the sliver of land between his land and Moore’s. However, Moore felt the fence was encroaching on his land so he decided to moved it. Foley, likewise, moved it straight back to where he had first placed it. Moore eventually took a court action so the fence would be moved back indef...
