This week we’re discussing the 1971 disappearance, and presumed murder, of 19-year-old Una Lynskey. We'll examine

the deeply flawed Garda investigation that followed, and the devastating chain of events that left another man dead and two others wrongfully convicted. More than 50 years later, what happened to Una on Porterstown Lane remains unsolved.
