The Call That Lured Marie to Her Death
Description
On a cold December afternoon in 1993, 35-year-old Marie Kilmartin answered a phone call that would seal her fate. She stepped out of the quiet rural home where she worked as a carer—and was never seen alive again.
Five months later, her body was discovered in a bog in County Offaly. A plastic bag had been tied tightly around her neck. The scene was brutal. The questions, even more chilling.
Who made that call? Why was Marie lured away? And how—after more than three decades—has her killer never been brought to justice?
