When 27-year-old Mary Gough was found dead in her home in Balbriggan in 2001, it looked like a tragic accident. Gardaí were called to what appeared to be a fall down the stairs.
But as investigators examined the scene, small details began to raise doubts, marks that didn’t fit, timelines that didn’t match, and a story that started to change.
In this episode, former Garda forensic detective John Sweetman revisits the case, piece by piece, to uncover how investigators learned that what looked like a household accident was, in fact, something far more sinister.
