Conor & Sheila O’Dwyer: Vanished From Fermoy

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 02:00:00 GMT

In 1991, Conor and Sheila O’Dwyer vanished without a trace from their home in Fermoy, County Cork—an elderly couple with no reason to disappear, yet it took three weeks before anyone noticed. Their disappearance remains one of Ireland’s most baffling mysteries, made even stranger by the fact that another man went missing in his car just a year earlier, only for his remains to surface 22 years later. In this episode, we unravel the chilling details, explore possible theories, and ask: how can two people simply cease to exist?

The Disappearance of Mary Boyle: Ireland’s Youngest Missing Person

Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:00:00 GMT

In 1977, six-year-old Mary Boyle vanished without a trace from remote Donegal, making her Ireland’s longest-running missing child case. Decades later, her disappearance remains a mystery, with allegations of political interference, ignored leads, and a fight for justice led by her sister.

The Mysterious Disappearance of Jón Jónsson

Mon, 03 Mar 2025 02:00:00 GMT

In February 2019, Jón Jónsson, a 41-year-old Icelandic man, walked out of his Dublin hotel in broad daylight—and was never seen again. No phone, no wallet, no known reason for leaving. Despite extensive searches, his whereabouts remain unknown. Today, we investigate Jón Jónsson’s disappearance and explore the overlaps with other cases, including Peter Bergmann, a man who meticulously erased his identity before vanishing from an Irish beach.

The Unsolved Murder of Patricia Doherty | Ireland’s Vanishing Triangle

Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:00:00 GMT

In December 1991, Patricia Doherty left her home in Tallaght to go Christmas shopping—she was never seen alive again. Her body was discovered months later in the Wicklow Mountains, yet her killer was never identified. Patricia’s case remains unsolved, but it bears unsettling similarities to other disappearances linked to Ireland’s infamous Vanishing Triangle; like Antoinette Smith and Marie Killmartin. Were these crimes connected, or should we merely neglect to acknowledge their similarities? This week on Red Room, we will discuss Patricia's disappearance.

If you have any information about Patricia Doherty, Antoinette Smith or Marie Kilmartin's case you should contact at nbci.scrt@garda.ie or by calling the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111

Japa Meditation Ireland: A Cult of Abuse

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 01:00:52 GMT

Cults are not always whacky organised communities that live in a commune... in fact, many modern-day cults exist right under our noses. New-age spiritual gurus have gentrified many of the legitimate practices of the East, like meditation and yoga, and used them to gain the trust of vulnerable individuals. Dennis Curran and Shashi Dubey were two of these gurus, who started Japa Meditation Ireland, and used it to abuse its members, financially, mentally and sexually.

Turns out there was not just one, but two cults that lived in that big 8-bedroom house in Donegal. In 1982, the house changed hands to a group called The Silver Sisterhood, but the people of Burtonport would not know any peace. While this group were quieter on paper, what they got up to within the house was another world of strange, we're talking Victorian era roleplay, caning and eh... video game development?

Elizabeth Bathóry: The Blood Countess

Sun, 28 Apr 2024 23:02:27 GMT

If the rumours about Countess Elizabeth Bathóry are true, she would be one of history's most violent serial killers. Known as The Blood Countess, living high in her castle in Transylvania, Elizabeth Bathóry tortured and killed over 650 girls and women in 20 years. She would bathe in their blood as an anti-ageing practice and engage in blood magick and ritual with her cohort of witches and warlocks.

However, she was arrested, put on a show trial, and imprisoned in her castle until her death by a man whose number one goal it was to destroy her noble family. This leads many to believe she was not the murderous masochist history makes her out to be, but a victim of a political conspiracy.

This week, we're decoding The Blood Countess's story.

Honour Bright: The Unsolved Dublin Murder

Mon, 22 Apr 2024 01:00:09 GMT

25-year-old Honour Bright was found shot and killed in Ticknock in June 1925. Despite multiple eyewitnesses placing her in a car with a Doctor and a Garda Superintendent, the two men who would be charged and tried for her murder were acquitted by a Dublin jury in 1926.

Honour was a single mother, and likely turned to sex work to support herself and pay for her son's foster care. After the trial, the media used her story as a way to scare young women who were prone to becoming "wayward", rather than focusing on the fact that her killer roamed free.

The Grangegorman Murders: Four Victims, Two Confessions & One Serial Killer

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 01:00:23 GMT

In the middle of the night, on March 6th 1997, an intruder broke into number 1 Orchard View, Grangegorman and brutally killed two women in their sixties. This attack terrified the nation, the murders seemed totally random and the victims were former patients of the nearby St Brendan's Psychiatric Hospital and lived together as part of an assisted living program. Who could do such a thing to such defenceless and vulnerable people?

What would follow in the months to come, would be a story straight out of a “Who done it” movie – a story of false confessions, surviving witnesses and perplexed law enforcement, under pressure to find the killer.

Playboy Murders: The Tragic Stories of Paige Young & Dorothy Stratten

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 01:00:31 GMT

Playboy Magazine is much more than a publication; it's a lifestyle. The women who have graced it's glossy pages become consumed in their life as Playboy Bunnies, and have done so since the magazine's inception in the 1950s. In recent years however, the curtain has been peeled back on the reality of working under Hugh Hefner; a reality of abuse, control and manipulation.

This week we are looking at the lives of two former Playmates, who both met tragic ends. Paige Young and Dorothy Stratten began as young and hopeful starlets, who used Playboy to launch their creative careers. Both, however, would die before they reached their potential, at the hands of people they met in the industry or as a result of the abuse they suffered along the way.

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 02:00:26 GMT

CW: sexual abuse, domestic violence, grooming

Sean Combs, also known as Puff, Puff Daddy, P Diddy and ‘Love’ has been one of the most prominent figures in hip hop for over 30 years.

There have always been rumours about Puff’s personal life, from rumours of bisexuality to straight-up accusations of abuse - but the recent lawsuit filed by his long-time ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura has opened up a pandora's box of accusations that he can no longer hide from.

It has even reopened questions surrounding the mysterious death of his ex Kim Porter - who died in suspicious circumstances after she threatened to release a tell-all novel about Diddy and their relationship.

This week we’re deep-diving on Diddy, and looking at all of his shady connections from the last 30 years.

Mon, 25 Mar 2024 02:00:07 GMT

Mary Gough was married for 6 months to her childhood sweetheart Colin Whelan. They were planning a family and renovating their home. Everything looked perfect, but behind closed doors, a plan was afoot.

Colin would call 999 on February 28th 2001, claiming that he found Mary unresponsive, at the end of their staircase. In the months and years following, this would evolve into a murder case, that would launch an international manhunt, involve faked deaths and new identities, and lots of unanswered questions.

This is a story of violence, generational abuse and lies and one that is known as one of Dublin's most grotesque murders.

The Black Dahlia: Hollywood's Coldest Case

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 02:00:40 GMT

This week we're exploring a cold case that has fascinated True Crime fans for decades: the mystery of the Black Dahlia.

Elizabeth Short was murdered in 1947. Her death was particularly violent, but precise, this along with many other clues led LAPD to think it may have been conducted by someone who knew their way around human anatomy. It was also a total media sensation, some of the first people to the scene were journalists, and she was dubbed The Black Dahlia, a reference to a popular movie, as well as a nod to the black rose tattoo she had on her thigh.

It remains unsolved, 76 years later and in this episode, we'll be asking why.
