Summary
The disappearance of Sandra Collins remains one of the most frustrating murder cases on the books of An Garda Síochána. Aged 28, she was pregnant and planning an abortion when she disappeared on a bitterly cold December night in 2000 from the fishing village of Killala in County Mayo. Ten years later, her case was upgraded to a murder inquiry and a subsequent trial heard she had been having a relationship with a local married man Martin Earley. A jury at his trial were ordered to acquit him after five weeks of evidence yet the hunt goes on for the remains of a beloved sister, daughter, and friend. Nicola speaks with Jenny Friel about our nine-part podcast special Ghost: The Disappearance of Sandra Collins. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
