- West Cork
He was an arrogant and abusive man, highly unlikeable, but there’s no proof he did anything.
Sophie deserved justice, and sadly, like so many victims, never got any.
I saw the tv show about this years ago. Nothing is really added here, but it’s a well made podcast.

This was fantastic! The research, narration, music, and those involved in this horrific crime. My heart breaks for Sophie’s family. A mammoth tragedy bundled up in epic mistakes from start to finish by those in charge who should have known about preserving the scene. Highly recommend!!!!
