Such a disturbing story of coercive control & misogyny brilliantly researched & delivered by Nicola Tarrant. Well done Nicola, Tanya and the decective Brannigan- heroes.
Poor Katie
Her perpetrator was such an evil coward. How did so many around him ignore and in fact enabled his behaviour?
Katie you aren’t forgotten, I wish you could see how many people came out to support you; there are always good people…..
Very interesting content however the same facts just seem to be churned up and spat out in each episode in a different order? Gave up in the end.
Great series , well written & presented. Hopefully there will be more episodes if any new leads open up. The heartbreak this presents for Emer’s family is unimaginable.
Such a shame the Irish Police didn’t, and are not doing more. Fascinating story, extremely well produced and worthy of a global audience. I hope justice prevails one day.
