In the serene suburbs of Castleknock, Dublin, the tragic murder of Jean Gilbert by her husband, David Bourke, in August 2007, shocked a community and captured the attention of a nation. "Behind Closed Doors" delves deeply into this devastating event, exploring the complexity of relationships marred by control,betrayal and the ultimate act of violence within a family.

This meticulously researched series goes beyond the surface of the crime to explore the life of Jean Gilbert—a beloved mother, accomplished professional, and vibrant member of her community, we aim to understand the intricate dynamics of Jean and David's marriage, what led to such a tragic conclusion, and the legal aftermath that ensued.

We seek to honor the memory of Jean while also navigating the legal, psychological, and societal questions that arise from domestic violence and murder. In doing so, we strive to understand the warning signs that lead to issues of domestic instability, and the role of community awareness in preventing such tragedies.

"Behind Closed Doors" Jean Gilberts Story" invites listeners into a narrative that challenges us to reflect on complex emotional and social issues, the nature of love and betrayal, and the paths toward healing and understanding in the aftermath of unimaginable loss.

Join us as we give voice to Jean's story, aiming not only to tell a tale of tragedy but also to contribute to a broader conversation about preventing violence and protecting those in vulnerable situations.
