Brittas Bay

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.

Mørkeland host Susanne Sperling examines six criminal cases in episode 284, ranging from an unexplained death of a young Danish mother to referenced serial killers and a wedding fraud scheme that unraveled when a mysterious caller exposed the groom's true identity.

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.
