Getting Away with Murder – Episode 3
Missing evidence, claims that a policeman, who was at the dance, questioned Marian’s best friend. Is the Police Ombudsman looking into how the police conducted its investigation?
The Nolan Show has been working on this investigation for over a year. During that time the family of Marian Beattie claimed that the police had misplaced over 40 items of evidence linked to the case. In this episode we speak to Assistant Chief Constable George Clarke. He explains where the case is today, what suspects they have, and that the situation regarding evidence is actually worse than the family claim.
In late March 1973, 18 year old Marian Beattie went to a charity dance at Hadden's Garage on the outskirts of Aughnacloy with her best friend and brother. During the night she was seen dancing with a young man. She left with him after 1am and within minutes Marian was murdered.
46 years later, nobody has been brought to justice.
This is a special Nolan Show podcast, following the events of that night, and the investigation that followed.
