The unsolved murder of a woman in Galway 19 years ago will appear on RTÉ's Crime Call next Monday as the national braodcaster aids Gardaí with investigations.The 23-year-old's body was discovered in the burnt out remains of her neighbour's home.
Sharing the news, the campaign wrote: "Emers case will be featured on RTE's Crime Call on Monday the 25th of March." Her death was treated as suspicious all along, but it was only in 2010, after her body was exhumed, that it was discovered that Emer had suffered a violent death before the fire, dying of severe head and back injuries.
Emer's family previously shared an image of a tattoo on Griffin's Adam's apple which they claimed was previously described incorrectly by Gardaí. They said that Gardaí initially described the tattoo as "Celtic" while it is in fact Egyptian. Specifically, the tattoo is the Eye of Horus, an ancient Egyptian symbol.On April 8 2005, Shane received a call to say that the neighbouring home, owned by a man named John Griffin, was on fire.
It was reported in the media that he threw rocks at people who approached him and after a nine-hour stand-off with Gardaí, he was overpowered. He was then admitted to a psychiatric hospital for five days.
