About this episode

Siobhan Maguire provides an update on the case of Kelly Lynch, discussing new findings and implications for the investigation.

In this episode of Lines of Enquiry: Case Notes producer Siobhan Maguire steps out from behind the scenes to share a significant update on one of season one’s most troubling stories, the death of 23 year old Kelly Lynch in Monaghan. Siobhan outlines new findings from an independent pathology review commissioned by the Katie Trust, including questions over the original cause of death, issues around a lack of evidence, and indications that third party involvement may no longer be ruled out. She and John discuss what this could mean for the ongoing investigation, the unanswered questions faced by Kelly’s family, and the implications of decisions made in the crucial early hours of the case. Then, Siobhan turns interviewer, putting your questions to John about his time in An Garda Síochána, the emotional impact of revisiting difficult cases for the podcast, and what listeners can expect from season three of Lines of Enquiry. Lines of Enquiry returns next week, on Tuesday 14th April.
