Listen Later

In this gripping episode of "Ireland Crimes and Mysteries," host Nules takes listeners back to 1985, to the small village of Carna in County Galway, where Barbara Walsh, a mother of seven, mysteriously disappeared. The episode meticulously recounts the events of the night Barbara vanished, starting with a family reunion that turned into a nightmare. Barbara was last seen by her daughter, asleep on the sofa after a night of celebration with family and friends, including two local Gardaí.The podcast delves into the initial investigation, which was marred by delays and a lack of urgency. It took a week for Barbara to be reported missing, and crucial time was lost. The episode highlights the family's frustration with the Gardaí's handling of the case and their relentless quest for answers. Despite extensive searches, including a significant effort in 2015 involving sniffer dogs and technical examinations, no trace of Barbara has been found.The episode paints a vivid picture of a loving mother and the void her disappearance has left. The family remains convinced that foul play was involved and continues to seek justice. Listeners are urged to come forward with any information that could help solve this decades-old mystery. By sharing Barbara's story, the podcast aims to keep her memory alive and reignite the search for the truth.
