The Grangegorman Murders occurred on March 6, 1997, when a man brutally killed Sylvia Shields and Mary Callanan in their beds. The initial suspect, Dean Lyons, was charged with murder. But then another set of murders took place and it appeared that police had the wrong man. We're discussing The Grangegorman Murders episode of Mens Rea.

1997 Songs & Bingo Trivia | Time Machine for the Grangegorman Murders from Mens Rea
We're jumping in the Time Machine to head back to March 6, 1997, in Dublin. That's right: back to Ireland. But first, we're going to talk about a few hit songs from 1997 (1:19). Then, since it tangentially relates to our story, we've got trivia on the game of bingo (12:12).
After the Time Machine, we give a brief, spoiler-free introduction to The Grangegorman Murders episode of Mens Rea (21:25), which we'll discuss in full next time.
Since "Mens Rea" is a Latin phrase, we also have trivia on silly Latin phrases to get as a tattoo over on our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/somuchcrimesolittletime) as a bonus clip from this episode.

The Vanishing Cyclist | Recap
Tony Parsons set out for a charity bicycle ride in Scotland and soon disappeared. Police searched and searched, but it wasn't until years later that the mystery was solved. And how it was solved was just as bizarre as the disappearance. We're recapping The Vanishing Cyclist from the BBC, hosted by Jane MacSorley.
