Summary

The unsolved murders of Phyllis Murphy, Patricia Furlong, Angie Smith, Inga Hauser, and Patricia Doherty span over a decade of heartbreak and mystery across Ireland and Northern Ireland. Each woman vanished under everyday circumstances—waiting for a bus, leaving a pub, walking home from a concert, arriving in a new country, or shopping for Christmas gifts—only to be found brutally murdered in remote locations. Despite witness accounts, forensic evidence, and public appeals, justice has remained elusive in most of these cases, leaving families and communities grappling with grief and unanswered questions. Their stories endure as chilling reminders of lives stolen and the urgent need for resolution.

0:00.0	What's up you guys? I'm Andrea. And I'm Haley. And you're listening to Inhuman, a. Happy day. So last week, you may recall that we discussed Ireland's Vanishing Triangle. And during that episode, I talked about some other cases that were also like very loosely linked to that case. Well, I did some more digging and I actually found quite a few cases that were
0:56.8	kind of considered. They were like initially considered part of that and then they were kind of
1:01.1	ruled out for whatever reason. Okay. So today I'm going to be shining a light on five women who
1:09.7	disappeared and they were also tragically murdered.
1:15.5	Okay.
1:16.1	And you may recognize two of the names because we did briefly touch on that in last week's
1:20.9	episode.
1:21.5	So this is kind of like the Ireland's Vanishing Triangle Part 2 in a way.
1:26.6	Okay.
1:27.1	Because to me it's not really clear why they've been like unlinked, except for one of the
1:32.3	cases, but the rest of them kind of should still be part of that.
1:37.2	So that's why I'm going to title this like part two.
1:39.3	But it is the cases of Phyllis Murphy, Patricia Furlong, Antoinette, Angie Smith, Inga, Maria
1:49.3	Hauser, and Patricia Doherty. And in this episode, we'll revisit their lives and the lives
1:57.3	of the three other women that we haven't discussed and recount the events surrounding
2:03.4	their disappearances and murders and how it has impacted their families and communities.
2:09.7	So on December 22nd, 1979, 23-year-old Phyllis Murphy vanished after leaving a bus station in Newbridge County, Kildare.
2:22.8	She was on her way home after shopping for Christmas presents, but she never made it back.
2:30.4	Phyllis was employed as a factory worker, and she lived a quiet and modest life.
2:36.2	So as you can imagine, when she vanished, her friends and family were shocked and devastated.
2:42.4	Phyllis lived with her family and was incredibly close with her siblings.
2:46.7	She was one of ten children.
