Lines of Enquiry · Anne & Annie Gillespie: Dark Obsession | Part I · 15 Sep 2026 podcast

Anne told John she never wanted to see him again. matched

He shoved Anne against a wall with such force that her watch shattered. matched

Then he took out the knife again, reopened the wound on his arm and smeared blood across her face, hair and clothes. matched

He warned her that this was what she would look like if she ever looked at another man again. matched

Then he drove away. matched

Anne spent the night in shock. matched

Hours earlier they had been guests at a wedding. matched

Now she sat covered in his blood, listening to him veer between rage and self-pity. matched

The next morning Anne attended Sunday Mass in Ballybuffet with her mother. matched

The church was filled with parishioners arriving for worship, many of them unaware of the ordeal Anne had endured just hours earlier. matched

After Mass ended and people began filing through the church gates, Anne and her mother confronted Gallagher outside. matched

You were a disgrace, they told him, as Gallagher apologized for his behavior and begged for forgiveness. matched

He insisted that it wasn't his fault. matched

It was the alcohol, he said, that made him act the way he did. matched

When Anne said she would not take him back, he told her he would drive to a friary and take the pledge. matched

Still she refused. matched

Then when Anne tried to end the conversation by saying she needed to visit her grandmother, who had recently broken her hip, John offered to drive her there himself. matched

Reluctantly Anne agreed. matched

At that point it felt easier to say yes than to argue any more. matched

But instead of heading towards Anne's grandmother's house, John turned the car in the opposite direction and sped towards Barnsmoor Gap and Donegal Town. matched
