In this, the premiere episode of the Mens Rea Podcast, we take a look at one of the most shocking crimes that captivated Ireland in recent years. Elaine O’Hara was a troubled woman who disappeared in 2012 and was presumed to have committed suicide. A year later, due to a series of coincidences, her body was found. This was now a crime. A man with an appetite for the twisted, Graham Dwyer, was charged and convicted of her murder.
