Show notes

As Frank McCann goes on trial twice for the murder of his wife and child, two families fear the worst.


Has the jury heard enough to put him away?


Hear how Esther’s mum Bridget O’Brien made history by taking half of McCann’s assets in the first civil case of its kind in Ireland.


And how the disgraced former swim coach continues to haunt the families, more than three decades after the murders of Esther and Jessica.


With contributions from Bernard McCann, Marian Leonard, Gardaí Martin Walker and Michael Campbell, and Irish Sun crime editor Stephen Breen.


This series was hosted by Nicola Bardon, and post-production for the series was by Lochlainn Harte.
