Trevor O’Keeffe: Hitchhiking Into Danger

In August of 1987, 19 year old Trevor O’Keeffe embarked his journey home to Ireland after a brief holiday France. He planned to hitchhike across the north of the country, through the vineyards of the world-renowned Champagne province. Trevor was unaware of the warnings against hitchhiking that had been made to young men across the region. He had not heard the local rumours about a serial killer stalking the area. He did not know about the 6 other young men already disappeared. Trevor’s body was found in a French forest just days after he began traveling. In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John explores what happens when a serious crime happens in another country. He asks how different laws, languages and police forces affect the search for answers and the fight for justice.

The Suffolk Strangler: Ipswich's Red Light Killings | #437

In December 2006, the town of Ipswich was rocked by a spree of brutal murders targeting sex workers in its notorious red light area. But the story didn’t end with the capture of the so-called ‘Suffolk Strangler’, Steve Wright… The murders of Tania Nicol, Gemma Adams, Anneli Alderton, Annette Nicholls and Paula Clennell would go on to transform policing strategies for prostitution in the UK (and even inspired a tone-deaf musical). And with killer Steve Wright back in the news in February 2026 after pleading guilty to the murder of schoolgirl Victoria Hall in 1999, this decades-old case still hasn’t run out of surprises. -- Patreon - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes YouTube - Full-length Video Episodes TikTok / InstagramSources and more available on redhandedpodcast.com

In Pursuit of Justice | 8

This episode we look to Dubai, the case of Tori Towey and the skewed concept of justice there which has seen the Kinahans flourish. This is the story of the Kinahans’ impending downfall, of why even their criminal partners would relish the arrest of Daniel. We go back to the beginning of his boxing foray, and a chat with the man hunting Daniel down for $10million. We look at how the Tyson Fury links killed off his boxing dream - but is Daniel Kinahan still lurking in the shadows? In the case of Daniel's father, we hear of the Dapper Don’s dreams of a life outside of crime as a respectable man, and how his eldest son put a bullet in that. And we look at Europe’s cocaine problem, and how the demand has created opportunities for the Kinahans law enforcement wouldn’t have dreamed of a few years ago.

Order Restored | 7

In this episode, we look at the dramatic fall of ‘Bomber’ Kavanagh - the hard man who broke down with a panic attack when UK cops nailed him on drug offences. Back in Ireland, this episode focuses on the final two feud murders in 2018. And we hear of the dramatic secret police mission to spring a relative from jail to ensure one of the funerals was held. One top detective describes the Daniel Kinahan he knows, as we introduce the scene in Ireland now, where the Kinahans have been reduced to drugs wholesalers.
