Summary

This week the girls head to Ireland to cover the "nearly perfect murder" of Elaine O'Hara. So called, because it was only a year after Elaine mysteriously vanished that police made a series of chance discoveries so unbelievable that they would make a CSI script writer squirm...

But these discoveries did go on to unmask a devious killer and rip him from his idyllic suburban life to pay for a brutal murder.

I'm Hannah, I'm Seruti and welcome to Redhanded. Bullgags, bones and batteries for you today in our first ever Irish case.

0:34.0

I don't know why it's taken so long but it has. Having said that, you haven't done an Indian one yet.

0:38.0

I kind of did the Sharan Devani one. That's true actually.

0:42.0

They were of Indian heritage and I have tried to do some Indian cases but it's just really hard to find any information on them.

0:49.0

So I've struggled with that end of things. I don't know why you've taken so long to do an Irish one.

0:54.0

Like somebody posted on the Facebook group that you pronounce Irish names fantastically.

0:59.0

Bloody should. This has been a long time coming, Hannah. You're hiding your light under a bushel.

1:07.0

Now you said that I'm going to get every single one of them wrong.

1:10.0

I'm actually quite scared about how to pronounce a lot of these words.

1:13.0

Okay, I'll do my best. I'll get a hold your hand.

1:16.0

And our Irish story starts in a very Irish way with three fishermen, William Fagan, James Fagan and Mark Quinn, who were all rather suspiciously I thought,

1:27.0

I was just trying to get something in the night time. I think it's one of those things where if you see someone fishing at night, they're probably doing something illegal.

1:33.0

I don't know. I feel like you can only fish for squid at night. Oh really? I didn't know that.

1:37.0

I mean, I'm sure someone will correct me. I was told that when I went for squid fishing at night. I could only do it then.

1:44.0

When did you go squid fishing? When I was in Vietnam, I went for squid fishing. I didn't catch it. But other people did. So they were definitely there.

1:53.0

1:59.0

Work up in the morning. You just had these like tentacle burns on my leg and I was like, oh, okay, that happened cool.

2:04.0

Oh my god, that's miserable. When I was in Belize, I saw this girl fall in the water and a Portuguese man award just enveloped her in its tentacles.

2:13.0

I've left out of the water and I have never to this day heard anyone scream like that and her body was just covered in these wells.

2:23.0

I never saw her again after that. But I'm sure she survived, hopefully. I hope she's bloody out. I know, right?

2:30.0
