Gardaí have made a renewed appeal on the 20th anniversary of the murder of art student Emer O’Loughlin in Co Clare.


Detectives believe that a man they want to speak to in connection with the killing in Ballybornagh, Tubber, is still alive.


But where is John Griffin, and why were so many mistakes made when the charred remains of the young woman were found in a burnt out caravan in 2005?


While Griffin, who left his clothes on a cliff edge in a failed attempt to make gardaí believe he had killed himself, will have changed greatly in 20 years, it is likely that he still has his very distinctive tattoo – an Eye of Horus symbol on the front of his neck.


Crime and security correspondent Conor Lally traces back the details of the death of this vibrant young woman and why so many mistakes were made in finding her killer.


Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Aideen Finnegan and John Casey.
