Lines of Enquiry

<p>In December 2008, a man calls 999 for assistance. </p><p>His name was Eamonn Lillis, and his wife Celine Cawley had been attacked by an intruder at their Howth home in Dublin. Celine was rushed to hospital, and an alert went out to find the man who had attacked the business mogul. </p><p>Gathering evidence, gardaí started to piece together what had happened at her home that cold December day, leaning on CCTV footage, around 100 witness statements, and one explosive anonymous phone call. Their findings very soon exposed a carefully concocted effort by her 'attacker' to mask the truth of what happened. </p><p>In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John Sweetman takes us back to that dark day in 2008 and how a trail of lies, misleading information, and a hidden love affair revealed the truth.</p><p>Presented by John Sweetman</p><p>Created by Darren Cleary</p><p>Episode&nbsp;Written by Siobhán Maguire</p><p>Script Edited by Eoin Brennan</p><p>Produced by Siobhan Walsh</p><p>Produced by Siobhán Maguire</p><p>Executive Produced by Eoin Brennan</p><p>Executive Produced by Ruth Fitzsimons</p><p>Sound Design and Editing by Neil Kavanagh</p><p>Audio Editing Support by Ed Smith</p><p>Marketing Support by Laura Bracken and Róisín Reilly</p><p>Social Support by Mark Hayes and Robyn Ree</p><p>Artwork and Graphics by Eric Rowntree</p>

<p>On the 24th of March in 2017, Richard Satchwell walked into a Cork Garda station to report that his wife, Tina, was missing. He told gardaí their relationship had deteriorated, and Tina had been gone for four days having taken €26,000 euros in cash from their savings. It seemed that Tina had made a concerted effort to disappear.</p><p>For six years, Richard and Tina’s family pleaded for the Fermoy native to come home. Why, they wondered, would a loving wife and sister simply leave her home in Youghal, and the animals she adored, and never return. </p><p>An extensive search by gardaí checked airports and ferry terminals for any clues as to where the Fermoy native may have gone. Some 100 statements were gathered as they searched for the missing woman. And then a breakthrough happened, with a discovery that would shock the nation.</p><p>In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John Sweetman takes us back over the tireless search to discover what had happened to Tina.</p><p>Presented by John Sweetman</p><p>&nbsp;Created by Darren Cleary</p><p>&nbsp;Episode&nbsp;Written by Anna Priestland</p><p>&nbsp;Script Edited by Eoin Brennan</p><p>&nbsp;Produced by Siobhan Walsh</p><p>&nbsp;Produced by Siobhán Maguire</p><p>&nbsp;Executive Produced by Eoin Brennan</p><p>&nbsp;Executive Produced by Ruth Fitzsimons</p><p>&nbsp;Sound Design and Editing by Neil Kavanagh</p><p>&nbsp;Audio Editing Support by Ed Smith</p><p>&nbsp;Marketing Support by Laura Bracken and Róisín Reilly</p><p>&nbsp;Social Support by Mark Hayes and Robyn Ree</p><p>&nbsp;Artwork and Graphics by Eric Rowntree</p>

<p>In June 2017, a family out for a picnic discovered a human torso discarded in a ditch in the Wicklow mountains. Gardaí and army personnel came together to comb the area for any clues. The search recovered fifteen more body parts dumped in nine different locations across a 30km range. </p><p>Initially, it was believed the body was that of a young man, after the recovered bones were measured. But this theory was about to turn on its head when one month later, a man walked into a garda station in Rathfarnham, in south Dublin, with a confession. He knew about the body parts, and he knew what had happened.</p><p>In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John Sweetman explores the murder of Patricia O’Connor, a retired woman living in a house full of tension and how it led to a case that quickly became one of the most disturbing ever faced by gardaí.</p><p>Presented by John Sweetman</p><p>Created by Darren Cleary</p><p>Episode&nbsp;Written by Frank Greaney</p><p>Script Edited by Siobhan Walsh&nbsp;</p><p>Produced by Siobhan Walsh</p><p>Produced by Siobhán Maguire</p><p>Executive Produced by Eoin Brennan</p><p>Executive Produced by Ruth Fitzsimons</p><p>Sound Design and Editing by Neil Kavanagh</p><p>Audio Editing Support by Ed Smith</p><p>Marketing Support by Laura Bracken and Róisín Reilly</p><p>Social Support by Mark Hayes and Robyn Ree</p><p>Artwork and Graphics by Eric Rowntree</p>
