and I'm lucky to be alive, given what those two men did to Elizabeth Plunkett and Mary Duffy.

Feathered is about a 15-minute drive from Clonmel and on the 8th of September 1976, John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans got driver's licences in false names in that town.

We also know they were there on September 9th.

They broke into the hallway bar in the town on that night.

That location, the hallway bar, is just a few minutes' drive from the location this next listener referenced when he contacted us.

We know that by around September 10th, John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans had left Feathered and Cliff Outram's house.

They were now effectively on the run, intent on killing one woman a week.

They now began to move around the country and our next potential connection comes from a border town in County Cavan.

The road from Cavan to Dublin, the N3, passes through Navan in County Meath.

And that's where our next witness comes from.

A woman who was in her early 20s in 1976.

Moving over to the west of Ireland, two young girls appear to have escaped with their lives in Cong, County Mayo.

When they had an interaction with two men, they later recognised as John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans.

My story is that in September 1976, after a Saturday night dance in Conn, County Mayo, myself and my friend went to the local chip van on the street.

We were both aged 17 years old at the time.

We were the last two customers of the chip van when two men pulled up in their car behind us.

We got our chips and we began walking up the street.

It would have been about midnight at this stage.

These men followed us up the street in Conn, driving very slowly behind us.

And after a few minutes, we got really spooked.
