**TRIGGER WARNINGS: mentions of rape and extreme violence**

WE'RE BACK BABY!

This week Emma talks about the devastating case of the rape and murder of 54 year old Nora Sheehan

Nora's body was found in Shippol Woods in 1981 and her murder would go unpunished for 42 years when advances in DNA finally gave justice to Nora and the Sheehan family.

This is a two parter lads, so the second part will be up next week.

Have a great week and mind yourselves!

Case begins at 30:01
