The Unsolved Murder of Patricia Doherty | Ireland’s Vanishing Triangle

from Red Room

In December 1991, Patricia Doherty left her home in Tallaght to go Christmas shopping—she was never seen alive again. Her body was discovered months later in the Wicklow Mountains, yet her killer was never identified. Patricia’s case remains unsolved, but it bears unsettling similarities to other disappearances linked to Ireland’s infamous Vanishing Triangle; like Antoinette Smith and Marie Killmartin. Were these crimes connected, or should we merely neglect to acknowledge their similarities? This week on Red Room, we will discuss Patricia's disappearance.If you have any information about Patricia Doherty, Antoinette Smith or Marie Kilmartin's case you should contact at [email protected] or by calling the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111Sources:Scene of natural beauty reveals terrifying secretsCOLD CASE DETECTIVES RENEW APPEAL IN HUNT FOR KILLER OF DONEGAL MAN'S WIFEA killer in our midst? | HotpressThe mystery of those who were never seen againFemicide Watch - Women's AidDisclaimer:The content of this podcast is based on publicly available information that was believed to be reliable at the time of recording.
