A quick word before we get into today's podcast. Our dogs are a huge part of the family, and like any dog owner, I want to ensure that they are getting the proper stuff. And this is why we absolutely love Butternut Box. They just make it incredibly easy to feed your dog well. Every single plan is perfectly portioned and tailored precisely to your dog's age, breed and lifestyle. They have over 11 recipes to choose from, so if you have a fussy eater or a dog with allergies, they're sorted. The meals are delivered straight to your door frozen, so you never run out. You just leave a few pouches out in the fridge to defrost and you're good to go. Plus, you can now find them in maxi zoo stores if you need to grab a pack.
It leads to better digestion and healthier guts, which every dog owner can appreciate. Go to butternutbox.com forward slash lines of inquiry and use the code lines of inquiry to get 50% off your first two boxes today. My name is John Sweetman, and this is Lines of Inquiry, Case Notes.
Lines of Inquiry
In case notes, we step away from telling one specific case in detail and instead take some time to reflect, to revisit past investigations and to respond directly to you, the listener. These episodes are about opening up the conversation.

In today's episode of Case Notes, we're looking back on another season of Lines of Inquiry. Joining me is Darren Cleary. the creator of Lines of Inquiry and head of digital audio at Bauer Media Audio Ireland.
Today we're going to reflect on some of the cases and conversations from this season and give you a little insight into what's coming up next. Darren, you're very welcome.
Thank you very much, John. Thanks for having me.
So that's another season of Lines of Inquiry done and dusted, season three. As we look forward to starting the next season, we're already busy working away at episodes and that. But reflecting back on season three, you know, was there anything that stood out for you there in particular stories or maybe interesting people that, you know, we got to meet?
yeah anything at all that for season three was a highlight for you yeah i think the one that i always find myself coming back to is the elena harris story it's one that is just shocking in the extreme and like the element in life that none of us really are prepared for is how much success comes down to luck yes and a bit of perseverance yeah and so much in that was down to just a the right place, the right time, the right weather. You know, the original discovery of the stuff in the Vartari Reservoir comes from a heat wave, low water levels, and a guard who went back again to check for stuff.
Yeah, he just, he took the time, I think just something was niggling at him. And as you say, the weather had the water levels low and all that. And that's what struck me because I remember the case at the time, I was still in the Bureau at the time, and I remember you know, hearing about this, I know what you're saying about the Elaine O'Hara case and what struck me very much about that one was the amount of work that went into it, particularly with the, all the mobile phone stuff, you know, like, I mean, poor Elaine's remains had been, you know, out there for so long that there was no kind of physical evidence tying Graham Dwyer to, you know, the scene or whatever, but the amount of evidence that was gleaned from the phones and that was just something else like, you know,
And that's the thing, she'd been out there so long they couldn't tell a definitive cause of death because there was no way with the amount of time that had passed and animal activity and things of that nature.
