Summary

In January 2008, 18 year old Marioara got into a car on Lombard Street in Dublin City centre, where she and some of her family had been begging for change. She was never seen again. During the garda investigation it became clear that this was an unusual crime - a seemingly random act of violence, likely committed by a member of one of Dublin's criminal gangs. After 6 years, a man went on trial. But would there be justice for Marioara? ********* Join me at CrimeCon UK on September 25th and 26th 2021. For more information and tickets visit crimecon.co.uk.
