Thank you so much.

And that website again to sign the petition.

We're really happy that so many of you have been listening and the response to the series has been incredible.

Over the last seven weeks, as our series was publishing, we've received many, many contacts from listeners, including new witness accounts relating to the actions of John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans around Ireland in August and September 1976.

As you know, we included some of those in our final episode seven, but we couldn't include all of them.

And even the ones we did include, we had to cut them down to make them fit to time.

So in this bonus episode, we're going to bring you all of the witness statements that have come in to us.

We've anonymised most of them at the request of those who contacted us.

We've also passed on all of the statements to the Plunkett family solicitor, James McGill.

Throughout this bonus episode, we've sequenced all of these statements in the order of how we think they may have occurred throughout August and September 1976 and how they match up with the movements of John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans.

And so to the first statement, which occurred on the south side of Dublin, where the districts of Dublin 2 and Dublin 4 meet.

If you leave the area around Pearce Street and travel the coast road south towards Wicklow, you'll pass through Black Rock in South County Dublin.

And that's where our next witness comes from.

Dolores is now 80 years old, but still remembers an incident in late summer 1976.

We recorded with her over the phone and here's what she had to tell us.

Now, I always remember any time a thing had come up about the murder, I used to say to them, you're so lucky I'm still here.

I could have been murdered.

And I think I was lying, the elbow was on a window,

And I wasn't, I wasn't, I'm not saying I was good looking, but I wasn't bad.

But I'd say that's why that man said, oh, look at this one.
