Episode 238: The “Human Puzzle” In The Dublin Mountains (Case of the O’Connor Family)
The person looked like they hadn’t slept in days. They were clearly agitated and nervous. Pacing.

The body parts you’re finding.
Scattered around the mountains.
I cut them up and threw them all over the place.
I blacked out, and I don’t know what happened. I just threw them all over the mountains.”
The detectives had no idea what they had just gotten themselves into. They were about to unearth some very dark secrets.
