| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the mens rea podcast, and this is the story of Operation Trace. The Oh, Hey guys, just a quick little disclaimer before this episode begins. |
| 0:48.0 | I've been under the weather for the last number of weeks and haven't been able to research the topics I had scheduled to release this week. |
| 0:56.1 | But rather than leave you all without an episode, you're getting this instead, |
| 1:00.8 | which is an episode I wrote for supporters on Patreon this time last year. |
| 1:07.0 | I've reworked some of the material to add more detail, but on the whole you'll find it's a different kind of episode than what I normally release. |
| 1:16.0 | The focus is going to be on a geographical area in the east of Ireland, sometimes referred to as Ireland's vanishing triangle, but it's more like a general |
| 1:26.8 | Lensster area. |
| 1:28.7 | For decades, women have gone missing and their bodies have been found dumped in the Dublin and Wicklow mountains. |
| 1:35.3 | Some have disappeared from the area around the mountains and have never been found. |
| 1:40.6 | Many of the cases remain unsolved and people have naturally wondered why. |

| 1:59.0 | It was quarter past eight in the evening. She had met her last client, a female civil servant at half seven, |
| 2:07.6 | and she was now done for the day. She had the day's takings on her and was to go by the bank to drop off the 700 pounds or so. |
| 2:18.0 | She walked the short distance to the nearby car park as usual, |
| 2:22.0 | but then suddenly a man came up behind her. |
| 2:27.0 | He had spotted her earlier in the village and had begun stalking her, looking for an opportunity to strike. |
| 2:34.2 | Somehow he knew that she'd be finishing work that evening and leaving alone. |
| 2:39.3 | Her client recalled seeing a man hanging around the otherwise deserted car park and later described him as |
| 2:45.8 | shifty and fidgety. He was standing next to a small dark-colored car. She had quickly walked to her own car, aware that the man was following her with |
| 2:56.1 | his eyes, and so she got herself into the car and out of the dark parking lot as quickly as she could. |
| 3:04.2 | The man was still there when the 28-year-old walked across the car park on her own, a few minutes |
| 3:10.0 | after her client had left. |
