Show notes
During the summer of 1882 Ireland was in the midst of the Land Wars, a sometimes violent era that left behind many unsolved murders. One such murder involved the publicly hated land agent John Henry Blake.
Blake became the face of a despised system, that allowed absentee landlords to hide in Britain and continue to collect millions of pounds from Irish land and farmers. Despite claiming plenty of money for himself through this system, it ultimately left a target on Blake's back. And coupled with his slack attitude to security Blake became a sitting duck in the most volatile region on the Island of Ireland.

On episode 63 of the show Ciaran speaks with regular contributor Robbie Da Silva about a case so bizarre that it is difficult to even determine what type of crime has been committed. In 2012 workers found what has been described as golf ball sized pieces of human flesh in the drainage system of Macomb County Michigan. Two further discoveries over the following year only added to the mysterious nature of these cases.
Although this case is as perplexing as it comes, based on what we know there are only two theories that makes sense at this moment. Today Robbie talks us through all of this and more.

On a November night in 1997, Galway based taxi driver Eileen Costello O'Shaughnessy left Galway city on what appeared to be just another fare. But when the ever reliable Eileen failed to meet her boss later that night, it was clear that something was not right. Over that night and into the morning an extensive search for Eileen took place.
The following day, Eileen's body was found at a place known as Tinkers Lane outside of Galway city.
Nearly thirty years later, despite numerous appeals, witness sightings and extensive Garda investigations, her killer has never been identified.

In the quiet town of Circleville, a series of anonymous letters were posted. The letters were full of accusations, threats, and information about secret relationships.
What started as a disturbing act of harassment soon escalated into something far more sinister. That eventually destroyed the social fabric of a peaceful mid-western town.
But even after an arrest and conviction, the letters continued. Which only added to the mystery and speculation.
In this episode of The Cliff’s Edge Podcast, I’m joined by a special guest Kevin to explore one of the most infamous cases of poison pen in American history.

As America lived through prohibition and the Roaring 20s, a transient killer known as the Gorilla Man Strangler moved across states and eventually international borders. Leaving behind a trail of brutal murders.
Researcher and author Alvin Esau joins the show to cover the life and crimes of one of the world's first documented serial killers.
Alvin explores his troubled upbringing, early criminal behaviour and the series of murders that shocked North America. We also discuss the remarkable police work that took place decades before modern forensics.
Beyond the case itself, we widen the conversation to examine the societal conditions that can contribute to serial offending, and ask whether the modern world has changed in ways that make such offenders less common today.

After purchasing the car a bizarre and alleged sequence of events transpired. Due to the odd nature of what was reported after Dean bought the car many questions remain: Did Dean leave Ballyfoyle? Did he get lost and succumb to the elements? Did Dean get into an accident? Did something sinister happen? And most importantly where is Dean?

Donegal native Cormac talks us through what is considered Ireland's longest running missing person case.
In March 1977, six-year-old Mary Boyle vanished without a trace from her grandparents’ remote farm in Cashelard, near Ballyshannon, County Donegal. Despite one of the largest searches in Irish history involving locals, Gardaí and the army no trace of Mary was ever found.
Her disappearance became Ireland’s longest-running missing child case. Over the decades, the case has been clouded by allegations of political interference, mishandled investigations, and claims of a cover-up. For nearly 50 years, Mary’s family especially her twin sister, Ann has campaigned for answers, justice, and the truth about what really happened.

Show notes
Welcome to episode 40 of the Cliff's Edge Podcast: The Butcher of Mons with special guest Rion.
On a Spring day in 1997 a Belgian cop got off his horse to investigate what he presumed to be another case of illegal dumping. However, what he discovered was something far more sinister; dismembered human remains that had been left in numerous bin bags. Over the next seven months more bags containing human remains were found throughout the Mons region.
These destressing finds shocked the locals of Mons, but the fear and shock of the public did not lead to an expensive and prolonged investigation. Sadly it was quite the opposite. As time passed the victims plight seems to have been largely forgotten by the authorities. And due to Belgium's statute of limitations; if the killer is not caught in the next fifteen months they will have gotten away with these barbaric murders in the eyes of the law.
Thank you for listening and if you have the time please give us a rating and a share. And if you can a review would be much appreciated.

On episode 39 Ciaran McConnell covers a case that has been described as more terrifying than fiction, and it is hard to argue with that. In the mid 1970s experienced sailors Elanor and Mac Graham, unbeknownst to them, took their final voyage to a remote paradise known as Palmyra in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean. What was meant to be a year long trip to paradise soon turned bad for the Grahams. When they first docked at Palmyra they came face to face with a cold blooded fugitive, and months later they vanished. It took the full weight of the FBI years to finally bring some justice to this tragic case.
