Episode 32: COLD CASE - THE ANTOINETTE SMITH MURDER CASE
b'In this episode, Radio Espial looks at the unsolved cold case of Antoinette Smith from 1987. I\'m delighted to say that I was joined by Ciaran McConnell from Irish Cold Cases and the website Ireland\'s Vanishing Triangle to review this case.
CASE SUMMARY
Antoinette Smith and her friend Marie attended a David Bowie concert at Slane Castle in County Meath, Ireland on Saturday, July 11th, 1987. The pair returned by bus to Dublin City centre arriving at Parnell Square around 11pm that night. They decided to finish their long day out after the concern at the La Mirage Discotheque on Parnell Street a short distance away. It was there that they met two men they knew. Having remained in the two men\\u2019s company for the rest of the night, they all left the nightclub shortly after 2am.
Antoinette\\u2019s friend parted company with the group, deciding to head home while Antoinette stayed on speaking to the two men until all three walked the short distance to a taxi rank on O\\u2019Connell Street. The men got a taxi to the Ballymun area and Antoinette instead chose to walk down towards O\\u2019Connell Bridge.
She was subsequently reported missing by her husband when she did not return to his home to collect her two young children the following day. Her remains were discovered and positively identified nine months later at Glendoo Mountain on the Dublin/Wicklow mountain border. #antoinettesmith #truecrime #irelandmurdercase'
