| The Murder of Inga Maria Hauser | 28 sept. 2026 | 00:34:54 | |
In April 1988, eighteen-year-old German student Inga Maria Hauser boarded a ferry from Scotland to Northern Ireland during a solo InterRail trip. Fourteen days later, her body was found in Ballypatrick Forest, almost forty miles from Larne. Nearly four decades on, police have DNA, thousands of samples and a suspect they said was supported by a strong hypothesis, but nobody has ever been charged with her murder. Episode written, hosted and produced by Jenny Claffey, researched by Karl O'Reilly SourcesThe Irish Times — “It’s on to Ireland – which pleases me most”, wrote backpacker before her death ITV News — Inga Maria Hauser murder: “After 30 years, it’s time to tell us what you know” RTÉ News — Renewed appeal over Inga Maria Hauser murder Irish Legal News — Lawyers call for independent investigation after suspects face no charges Belfast News Letter — Key crime-scene exhibits have not been retained Belfast Telegraph — New inquest granted over the 1988 murder of German backpacker The Irish Times — Two people emerge who may have information on Inga’s murder RTÉ News — Pair questioned over backpacker murder may join inquest The Irish News — Pair questioned over 1988 backpacker murder may join new inquest To access bonus weekly episodes of Red Room join Patreon HERE Hosted on Acast.

| The Unsolved Killing of Father Niall Molloy | 14 sept. 2026 | 00:51:48 | |
This episode was first published on Patreon on February 2025. In 1985 a local and beloved priest was found dead in the bedroom of a high-society couple in Offaly. These were no strangers, in fact Therese Flynn was Father Molloy's business partner. Together, they had built an equestrian empire. To everyone's surprise, when police were eventually called, there was a confession. Therese's husband Richard said he was the culprit, but he said it was in self-defence. It wasn't long before rumours were swirling of an affair, of alleged dodgy business dealings and of a burglary of Father Molloy's will. Very soon after this, everything fell apart. 40 years later, this case is still open and nobody has served any time for the cold-blooded and violent killing of Father Niall Molloy, and this week, we ask why.

| Shaun Duffy: Murder in Donegal | 07 sept. 2026 | 00:28:48 | |
In January 2005, 36-year-old Shaun Duffy returned to his home in Meenacross, Donegal, after celebrating his younger brother’s birthday. Hours later, he was found dead in his ransacked sitting room, having been stabbed, repeatedly struck on the head and wounded with a crossbow arrow. More than 21 years later, no one has ever been arrested. This week, we examine the investigation into Shaun’s murder, the rumours surrounding his business dealings and the theories linking his death to organised crime...and possibly to another unsolved disappearance in Donegal.

Minutes before they were due to be collected, Anna made a final phone call in which she was reportedly heard calling for help. Neither she nor William was ever seen again.

In 2019, 15-year-old French-Irish teenager Nóra Quoirin disappeared from a rainforest resort in Malaysia while on holiday with her family.

This episode looks at the killing, the occult and religious imagery surrounding it, and the question of why the case seemed to almost disappear from public memory.

| Honour Bright: Murder in The Free State | 27 avr. 2026 | 00:35:29 | |
25-year-old Honour Bright was found shot and killed in Ticknock in June 1925. Despite multiple eyewitnesses placing her in a car with a Doctor and a Garda Superintendent, the two men who would be charged and tried for her murder were acquitted by a Dublin jury in 1926. Honour was a single mother, and likely turned to sex work to support herself and pay for her son's foster care. After the trial, the media used her story as a way to scare young women who were prone to becoming "wayward", rather than focusing on the fact that her killer roamed free.

Today we’re looking at the case of Annie Walsh, the last woman ever executed in Ireland. Convicted of murdering her husband in 1925, her story is often reduced to a scandalous love triangle, but there’s far more going on beneath the surface. Annie wasn’t the only woman sentenced to death in Ireland, she was just one of the very few who wasn’t spared.
