Mary Gough: Ireland's 'Staircase' Murder

Mary Gough was married for 6 months to her childhood sweetheart Colin Whelan. They were planning a family and renovating their home. Everything looked perfect, but behind closed doors, a plan was afoot.Colin would call 999 on February 28th 2001, claiming that he found Mary unresponsive, at the end of their staircase. In the months and years following, this would evolve into a murder case, that would launch an international manhunt, involve faked deaths and new identities, and lots of unanswered questions.Red Room donates directly to Advocates for Victims of Homicide who provide support and advocacy to families who have lost a loved one to homicide.Womens AidSupport After HomicideCitizens Information Social LinksSign up for weekly deep dives & exclusive contentFollow me on InstagramFollow Red Room on InstagramTo access bonus weekly episodes of Red Room join Patreon HERE Hosted on Acast.
