It really sticks in the mind of Elizabeth's brother, Eddie.
That photo being taken from the house without permission and published in the newspapers is part of the reason why the family has stayed silent until now.
But despite the family's silence, it was very much in the news headlines.
The only people who knew the answer to that Needle in the Haystack challenge were John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans.
And while the Plunketts were trying to make sense of what was happening, Shaw and Evans were back down in Featherton, County Tipperary, where their prison friend Cliff Outram lived, as Shaw outlined in a later statement.
Apart from a brief trip to Cork where they committed a number of burglaries, Sean Evans were mostly based around Feathered for the next 10 days, where they had the use of Cliff Outram's new car.
Vincent is Sean, producer Liam O'Brien around Feathered.
Vincent lives in Feathers.
He's lived there all his life and runs a bar in the centre of town.
The story he has to tell is something that has never been publicly told before and any new information around John Shaw could be important.
When we were young fellas we used to play conkers the whole time so there was a prime spot just out here where we all went to collect every year and collect as many conkers as we could.
The reason we're telling you about conkers, or horse chestnuts, is because it's significant in terms of the time of year.
As every schoolchild knows, conkers start hitting the ground in early September.
And we know it was September when Shaw and Evans were in the town of Feathert.
The reason Vincent's mum knew about these bad men was because of an incident that had happened the previous day.
According to local stories, the two men who were staying with Cliff Outham had tried to abduct a girl.
A few days after Liam's visit to Feathered, we wrote to the woman who was at the centre of this attempted abduction.
Though she didn't want to be named, she told us about what happened and was happy for us to include her account of that evening, voiced here by an actor.
I ran back to my friend's house, jumped a large garden wall to get in off of the road.
I could hear their footsteps running behind me.
