Welcome to Yore Town, where we delve into the shadows of unsolved mystery. In this episode, we tackle one of Ireland's most enduring and frustrating true crime cold cases: the baffling disappearance of Conor and Sheila Dwyer from Fermoy, County Cork, in 1991. The last confirmed sighting of the couple was on April 30th, 1991, walking toward a funeral near their home. Just days later, their house was found orderly, with all their possessions—including clothes, passports, and a large amount of cash—left behind. The only things missing were Conor and Sheila and their white Toyota Cressida. This is a missing persons investigation that has spanned decades, involved international inquiries (including a strange sighting in Germany linked to Conor's employment with a German millionaire), and included multiple exhaustive searches of the River Blackwater. Despite the passage of time, every avenue leads to a dead end, leaving family and investigators seeking answers. We explore the strange elements that make this 1990s cold case so unique: the rarity of a couple vanishing together, the fact that their memory remains so vivid for locals, and the profound questions that linger about their intentions and their fate. Gardaí believe locating their vehicle is the key to solving this enduring puzzle. Join us as we dissect the known facts, the wild theories, and the sheer impossibility of how two people, and their car, could simply cease to exist.

Hear the terrifying story of the Alphabet Murders and the city that still waits for answers. In the quiet, family-oriented city of Rochester, New York, the 1970s were supposed to be a time of peace and prosperity. But between 1971 and 1973, a series of heinous crimes shattered that sense of security, giving birth to one of New York's most haunting and enduring unsolved mysteries: The Alphabet Murders. Join the Yore Town Podcast as we delve into this chilling story, where a serial killer targeted three young girls, leaving a community forever changed. Our investigation explores the terrifying events that defined a generation, the societal impact of the crimes on community safety, and the perplexing investigation that followed. "This is the story of the alphabet." We begin with the tragic abduction and murder of the first victim, Carmen Colon, in 1971. Witnesses reported seeing the young girl trying to escape, painting a terrifying picture that haunts the case to this day. Two years later, the nightmare returned with the eerily similar disappearances of Wanda Walkowicz in 1973 and Michelle Mainza later that same year. Each victim shared a cruel and bizarre connection: their first and last names began with the same letter. The 1970s crime investigation faced immense challenges. Despite a massive effort, investigators struggled with the lack of definitive forensic evidence. We analyze the various suspects who were considered over the years, only to be cleared. We reveal how one suspect, despite fitting the profile, was eventually excluded by advancements in DNA evidence, leaving the case open and the killer's identity unknown. This episode is more than just a historical account; it's a deep dive into how these crimes led to a profound and permanent shift in how communities think about child safety. The Alphabet Murders stand as a stark reminder of the evil that can lurk beneath a veneer of normalcy and a testament to the pain of a community that is still desperately seeking closure. As one sound bite states, "Rochester still waits for answers." The Lasting Impact and Unsolved Mystery: Despite decades of effort, this remains one of America’s most perplexing unsolved murder cases. Join us as we explore the theories, the heartbreak, and the lingering hope that someday, the killer will finally be brought to justice.
