Gerry McGinley: A Scandalous Affair

When Gerry McGinley was arrested for minor drug possession charges on the 6th of June 2000, he insisted upon his innocence. He said the drugs had been planted on him, and he was convinced someone was trying to get rid of him. By that time, McGinley had already received threatening phone calls at his home along with warnings from the IRA that he should leave town. He was a man with a lot of enemies. Then, just two months later, he went missing. In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John Sweetman takes us through the extensive police investigation to find Gerry McGinley. What was uncovered revealed a twisted tale of blackmail, illicit loves affairs, sex tapes, and the IRA.

Celine Cawley: Veil of Deceit

In December 2008, a man calls 999 for assistance. His name was Eamonn Lillis, and his wife Celine Cawley had been attacked by an intruder at their Howth home in Dublin. Celine was rushed to hospital, and an alert went out to find the man who had attacked the business mogul. Gathering evidence, gardaí started to piece together what had happened at her home that cold December day, leaning on CCTV footage, around 100 witness statements, and one explosive anonymous phone call. Their findings very soon exposed a carefully concocted effort by her 'attacker' to mask the truth of what happened. In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John Sweetman takes us back to that dark day in 2008 and how a trail of lies, misleading information, and a hidden love affair revealed the truth.

Tina Satchwell: A Calculated Mystery

On the 24th of March in 2017, Richard Satchwell walked into a Cork Garda station to report that his wife, Tina, was missing. He told gardaí their relationship had deteriorated, and Tina had been gone for four days having taken €26,000 euros in cash from their savings. It seemed that Tina had made a concerted effort to disappear. For six years, Richard and Tina’s family pleaded for the Fermoy native to come home. Why, they wondered, would a loving wife and sister simply leave her home in Youghal, and the animals she adored, and never return. An extensive search by gardaí checked airports and ferry terminals for any clues as to where the Fermoy native may have gone. Some 100 statements were gathered as they searched for the missing woman. And then a breakthrough happened, with a discovery that would shock the nation. In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John Sweetman takes us back over the tireless search to discover what had happened to Tina.

Patricia O’Connor: House of Secrets

In June 2017, a family out for a picnic discovered a human torso discarded in a ditch in the Wicklow mountains. Gardaí and army personnel came together to comb the area for any clues. The search recovered fifteen more body parts dumped in nine different locations across a 30km range. Initially, it was believed the body was that of a young man, after the recovered bones were measured. But this theory was about to turn on its head when one month later, a man walked into a garda station in Rathfarnham, in south Dublin, with a confession. He knew about the body parts, and he knew what had happened. In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John Sweetman explores the murder of Patricia O’Connor, a retired woman living in a house full of tension and how it led to a case that quickly became one of the most disturbing ever faced by gardaí.

Elaine O'Hara: Coercion and Control

Elaine O’Hara disappeared from her Dublin home in 2012, at the age of 36. She left behind no trace. Her family struggled to understand what had happened to their bright and friendly sister and daughter. One year later, a woman walking in the woods of Dublin discovered Elaine’s remains. As Gardai began to piece together her final moments and days they saw traces of a dark and sinister side to Elaine’s disappearance and death. The mission to find out what happened to Elaine became a complex and brutal garda investigation. A meticulous investigation would lead them to one of the country's most disturbing and shocking cases, and to one of the most high-profile trials in Irish history. In this episode of Lines of Enquiry John Sweetman revisits a chilling murder that brought a dark subculture of violent sadomasochism into public consciousness.

Tom Nevin: Web of Lies

On the 19th of March 1996, gardaí were called to a pub in Co Wicklow after its panic button was activated in the small hours of the morning. Catherine Nevin, who owned the pub with her husband Tom, was found slumped in a hall with her hands tied and a gag around her neck. What initially looked to be a botched burglary at a time when Wicklow businesses were being targeted by Dublin gangs, soon grew into a massive garda investigation with more than 170 witness statements as they delved deep into Catherine's past. In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John Sweetman takes us back to the murder of Tom Nevin and a story of greed, lies and lust that led to one of the country's most infamous trials.
