ÁINE SPEAKS OUT: MARIE KILMARTIN CASE UPDATE - Radio Espial EP50

Image

Since we recorded our original Timeline on the Marie Kilmartin case, we have been in contact with her daughter Áine once again and would like to bring you the following update that sheds a great deal more background on the case. However, we felt the information provided stretched far beyond just a short few minutes of update. So much, that we have decided on an unplanned Radio Espial Episode 50.

I want to state that what follows is not one of our normal case Timelines and Analysis. It is testimony and an account of the tireless work and research Áine has carried out into her mother’s initial disappearance in 1993, the later discover of her body at Pim’s Lane, a bogland, six months later. Marie Kilmartin’s case is classified as a murder case by An Garda Siochana and included a series of arrests between 1994 and 2008. No one has yet been charged with her murder as of 2024.

Following our broadcast of the Marie Kilmartin Case Timeline, Áine, her daughter posted a very lengthy comment on the Radio Espial Channel. We felt her comment and testimony and her experience and research of her mother’s murder case deserved far more highlight than a posted comment.

This case was deeply troubling to us from the outset, and left a great deal of questions in our minds. Not only has Áine brought some clarity to the case in the following additional information, but she has shared a considerable amount of case file documentation, audio and video footage through multiple interviews with case witnesses, but also court, medical and private files which considerably substantiate the detail in her testimony and statement to us.

We have verified the documentation provided to us by Áine. We thought long and hard about the best way to progress forward. I have spent much of the past week working on the following with Áine. We opted not to do an in-camera interview for a Radio Espial Episode. Áine has been through enough. This is about justice for Marie Kilmartin and the person(s) responsible for her murder in December 1993.

For obvious legal reasons, there are people who cannot be named in this episode, and said verified documentation, audio and video files, not shared here which may later become a part of future prosecutions. The following episode deals with very difficult subjects, so viewer discretion is advised.

This is a personal account and testimony by one critical person in this case. This still remains an ongoing investigation into a murder. I would strongly recommend that you FIRST view our Marie Kilmartin Murder Timeline episode.

There is absolutely no value or context in viewing this episode without having already done that. As with many of our follow-up case updates, we are not here in this episode to re-walk you through the case once again.

WOKE: The Trope That Doesn't Work

WOKE - a word we now hear so often used in ridicule of others on social media commentary. But like so many tropes used against others, its user - by the mere act of using it - clearly demonstrates a complete lack of understanding of its true meaning and origin. If anything, its usage, now defines more the user, than the intended reciprocate. And its not a new word by any stretch of 21st Century meaning. It dates back more than 80 years but has only in the past few years reignited its common and increasing usage in everyday English language. ORIGIN - THE WOKE It originally dates back to a comment from an African American United Mine Workers official in 1940 (USA), stating: "Let me tell you buddy. Waking up is a damn sight harder than going to sleep, but we'll stay woke up longer." Think of all the times in exchanges online (primarily social media) that you've been described as 'woke' in a derogatory way. Ask yourselves, have you noticed how often those throwing...

The Case of Raonaid Murray

THE VANISHING OF MARY BOYLE

Mary Boyle (born 14 June 1970) was a six-year-old Irish girl who disappeared on the County Donegal-County Fermanagh border on 18th March 1977. To date, her disappearance is the longest missing child case in the Republic of Ireland. The investigation into her disappearance has been beset by allegations of political intervention and police incompetence. While arrests were made over many years, nobody has ever been charged in connection with her disappearance. Mary Boyle was last seen at 3:30 pm on 18 March 1977 near her grandparents' rural farm in Cashelard, near Ballyshannon, County Donegal. The family, including Mary's mother Ann, father Charlie, older brother Paddy, and twin sister Ann, had gone to Mary's maternal grandparents' house on St Patrick's Day from their home in Kincasslagh in The Rosses, further up the coast. They stayed at the grandparents home overnight into the day of her disappearance. In total, there were eleven people at the household gathering, si...
