Summary
I am again joined by Grace, host of the excellent RedRum Podcast as we talk about the murder of Michael O’Leary, a Welsh father who vanished after being lured to a remote location by his killer. We explore how an affair, a staged message, and an attempt to destroy evidence led investigators to uncover the truth behind this calculated crime.
