Episode 29: A Fetish for Murder
Episode description
Elaine O'Hara went missing from her home in Blackrock, Ireland on August 22, 2012. Elaine having suffered from mental illness was initially reported missing by her family, who suspected she had taken her own life although her body could not be located. At first it was assumed she had disappeared while volunteering at the 2012 Tall Ships' Races. However, in 2013, more than a year after Elaine had gone missing a woman walking her dog on wooded land near Kilakee in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains would discover human bones. Dental records would identify the human remains as 36-year-old Elaine O’Hara. Elaine’s phone records and laptop would be collected as evidence by investigators, and it would emerge that Elaine had embarked in a sexual relationship of Master and Slave with a man named Graham Dwyer that involved bondage, violence, and knives. Graham had a sick sexual fetish of stabbing women while he was sexually aroused, which led investigators to believe that Graham had stabbed Elaine to death while engaging in sex to feed his sick and twisted fetish. In 2015, Graham Dwyer was convicted of the murder of Elaine O’Hara and given a life sentence even though he maintained his innocence. So, was this a death by suicide of a mentally unwell women or was this a murder by a sadistic sinister mind that had a fetish for stabbing and killing?
