Mens Rea: A true crime podcast

Shownotes Transcript

Elaine O’Hara was a troubled woman who disappeared from her Dublin home in 2012 and was presumed to have committed suicide. A year later, due to a series of coincidences, her body was found and a man with an appetite for the twisted, but the appearance of a nice middle class family man was charged with her murder. A true crime that was truly beyond belief, and shocked Ireland.
