MISSING & MURDERED: ELIZABETH CLARKE CASE

MISSING & MURDERED: ELIZABETH CLARKE CASE - Radio Espial EP64

Elizabeth Clarke was officially reported missing in January 2015, though there have been no confirmed sightings of her since November 2013 (witness statements). Gardaí suspect she was murdered around the time of the last confirmed sighting.

She reportedly left the home of her ex-boyfriend at Claremont Estate, Navan, Co. Meath on a November evening in 2013 around 7 pm in the company of two other women. The circumstances of this departure have never been fully made public.

What is known is that Elizabeth (Lizzy) had been estranged from her family for quite some time before, had two young children with her boyfriend Kevin Stanley, and her natural family only became aware of her true disappearance in 2013 following the death of her grandfather and repeated efforts to contact and alert her of his death failed.

She only became a formal missing person case in January 2015.

This timeline is about filling in some of those disturbing gaps. In February 2025, her case was upgraded to murder following arrests and forensic searches of several properties in the Navan and general County Meath areas.

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...
