In our last episode, we met Joe Maloney's daughter, Karen, who since the mid-1970s has wondered where he went.

Even in her wildest imagination, she could never have thought he'd come to Ireland to build himself a new life.

Right?

He was a very sociable person.

He had the gift to the gab, so to speak.

Episode 6, closing the net.

When Joe Maloney first went on the run to Ireland in late 1967, early 68, he began living under

the name Michael O'Shea and worked on a fishing trawler out of South Dublin until he sustained

I met him when I was doing my internship in St. Michael's in the Lirley Hospital.

There's a team of us working behind this series.

My colleague Nicolene managed to find and track down Dr. Brian Hanlon,

who attended to Michael O'Shea's stomach woes back in 1969.

He came into the emergency room as a patient for abdominal pain.

away from the system, until he couldn't.
