Six cases including the discovery of a dead mother

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.

Mørkeland, a Danish true crime podcast, released Episode 284 around June 1, 2025, focusing on mysterious deaths. The episode joins the podcast's ongoing exploration of unsolved cases and cryptic crimes across Scandinavia.
