Cases
latest first- Gardaí renew appeal in Clare murder of Emer O'Loughlin Murder · Co. Clare
Emer O'Loughlin, a 23-year-old art student, was found dead in a fire-destroyed mobile home at Ballybornagh, Tubber, Co Clare on 8 April 2005. John 'Fozzie' Griffin, a 57-year-old man and the last person to see her alive, owned the mobile home and disappeared from Inis Mór in April 2005 after a psychiatric hospital stay, with his clothes found on a cliff in what gardaí believe was a staged suicide. In 2010, forensic tests on her exhumed remains indicated a violent death, upgrading the investigation to murder, and an inquest jury returned a verdict of unlawful killing in November 2025. Gardaí renewed their appeal for information on the 21st anniversary in April 2026, believing Griffin is still alive and may be hiding under an alias.
