In this week’s episode, Nules looks into a Victorian Irish murder that challenged even the most advanced scientific knowledge of the time. When Mary Laura Cross died after weeks of illness, her death was initially accepted as natural. But the actions of her husband in the weeks that followed called everything people thought they knew into question, leading to an exhumation and a discovery that would place her death at the centre of one of the most closely watched murder trials of the Victorian era.

On 21 June 2020, 14-year-old Noah Donohoe left home in Belfast on his bike to meet friends. He never arrived.

Six days later, his body was found in a storm drain in north Belfast.

In this episode, I go through the evidence heard at the inquest into Noah’s death, including the CCTV footage, the search for Noah, and what the court heard about his final movements.

And six years on, the question at the heart of it is still the same: how did Noah come to be there?

In this week's episode Nules looks into the case of Ciara Glennon, a young woman whose disappearance in 1997 still resonates decades later. On a seemingly ordinary night, Ciara left her friends in Perth after a night out to walk the short distance to a taxi rank, only to vanish without a trace, setting off a search and investigation that would span more than twenty years. Her story uncovers a tangled web of crime, forensic breakthroughs, and relentless hope, culminating in a conviction that finally brings her Irish born parents, family and friends some answers. You'll discover how decades old evidence, modern DNA analysis, and a determined family kept the case alive through the darkest years and how this case became one of Australia's most significant criminal cases.

In this week’s episode, Nules looks into the case of John O’Grady, a farmer in Ireland whose violent actions sparked a legal battle that questioned the very nature of sanity and justice. In a time when Ireland was ravaged by famine and desperation, O’Grady’s murders of his wife and servant girl raised darker questions about what it means to be sane when the mind is clouded by paranoia.

You’ll discover how a man’s twisted beliefs about the women in his household led to a brutal double murder, and how the legal system struggled to decide if his mind was genuinely sick or simply pretending. We break down the clues in his confusing confessions, the medical debates that followed in a case, and the impact of Ireland’s harsh social climate on the case.

Hi! Nules here. I just wanted to drop in with a recommendation.

If you find it difficult nodding off after the show, or just want to relax to the ambient sounds of some of Ireland's most scenic spots, we want to introduce you to GoLoud's latest original stream - GoLoud Sleep Sounds.

This specialized series is a calming collection of immersive 10-hour soundscapes, with each episode carefully tailored for anyone looking for a calmer bedtime routine. The long-form, entirely uninterrupted audio is designed specifically to create a soothing, protected environment that can be played through the night or as a calming backdrop during moments of rest and relaxation.

Within this stream, there is no talking, no suspenseful stories, and absolutely no commercial interruptions to startle you awake. Instead, Sleep Sounds atmosphericially transports your senses to landscapes across Ireland, from the cadence of the waves at Curracloe Beach in spring and Howth Harbour at sunset, to the isolated Midlands on a stormy night, the wind through the Wicklow Mountains in winter, or the deep shadows of Dublin after dark.

This soothing ambience flows continuously through the night, allowing you to completely switch off the outside world.

GoLoud Sleep Sounds is available now on the GoLoud app or wherever you get your podcasts.

Simply press play, put the phone down, and let it do the rest.
