COMING UP

All our Radio Espial episodes are researched over months, sometimes years before broadcast. We feature occasional guests, but our primary output is case timelines and feature documentaries. Most of our crime cases include co-presenters Brian Goggin, and also (up to July 2024) Ciaran McConnell from Irish Cold Cases (Facebook Group) and Ireland's Vanishing Triangle (website).

Please be aware of our Disclaimer page. We live in a diverse world and explore many topics. Opinions, views and claims by guests are not necessarily those of the presenters and Radio Espial.

Radio Espial and its presenters believe in giving any guest extensive time on a topic when invited to participate. Our format, per episode, is open-ended. Some of our episodes may last an hour, others could run to two or more hours. That's how we roll at Radio Espial.

Unfortunately, some recent Radio Espial episodes and released shorts in the true crime and missing persons genres have meant that we can only provide highlights for podcast listeners. Much of that content is analysis-driven with an emphasis on show-and-tell and this provides a challenge for podcasting. However, all of the full output is available on our Youtube channel.

In August 2024, we opted to end our podcast audio output available through our Soundcloud partner platform. Episodes preceding this date will still be available for listening on Soundcloud.

By all means like, comment and share our episodes on social media. Our content is copyrighted and must not be uploaded and/or altered in any way. If you wish to use a segment of an episode for review or external broadcasting purposes, please contact us first outlining context, use and the permissions required.

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...

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 th...

DJ TO STRANGLER: PATRICIA FURLONG MURDER - Radio Espial EP46

Patricia Furlong (21) from Dundrum, Dublin spent the night of Friday, July 23rd, 1982 with friends at her local pub, the Nine Arches. Just before midnight, some of the group of friends decided to head to the late night Fraughan Festival held at Johnnie Fox’s pub, Glencullen, in the Dublin Mountains. In the early hours of the morning she was witnessed leaving the venue to go on a walk with a man described as dressed in an ‘all-white-suit’. Patricia never returned to her friends at the venue. Around 8 am on Saturday July 24th, two teenage girls out for a morning walk discovered Patricia’s dishevelled body lying in a field. She was dead following a brutal strangulation with her own upper clothing. Within weeks, a man emerged as a prime suspect, but it would be many years later before he was finally charged with the murder of Patricia Furlong. Nothing proved straightforward in this case… a case 42 years later that still remains unresolved. It will be a lesson to police, families and the g...
