1976

In 1976, a quiet residential neighborhood in Denmark became the site of a shocking family homicide when a father killed his entire family in a violent attack. Now, a new podcast series is bringing this largely forgotten Nordic case to international audiences, examining the circumstances and consequences of one of the country's most disturbing domestic crimes.

On August 28, 1976, 23-year-old Elizabeth Plunkett walked out of McDaniel's pub in Brittas Bay, County Wicklow, Ireland, and vanished. Her body was found a month later washed ashore in County Wexford. Two convicted serial killers confessed to her murder—yet no one was ever formally charged with her death.

In late August 1976, 23-year-old Elizabeth Plunkett vanished from Brittas Bay in County Wicklow, Ireland. Her body was discovered weeks later—raped, strangled, and bound to a lawnmower. Nearly 50 years later, her sisters are demanding justice for a crime that was never prosecuted.

In August and September 1976, English serial killers Geoffrey Evans and John Shaw abducted, raped, and murdered two young Irish women in what became known as Ireland's first serial killing case. Despite confessing to both murders, neither man was ever convicted of the crimes.
