On 4 January 2005, 11-year-old Robert Holohan left his home to play on his bike in Midleton, Co Cork and never returned. What began as a desperate search for a missing boy quickly became one of the most emotionally charged murder investigations Ireland had ever witnessed. Thousands turned out to look for him. Gardaí deployed every resource available. For a week, the country hoped against hope. Then came the devastating discovery: Robert had been killed. The search for the young boy soon became a hunt for a killer. The eventual truth would prove to be more devastating than anyone had imagined.Presented by John SweetmanCreated by Darren ClearyEpisode Written by Darren Cleary and John SweetmanScript Edited by Eoin BrennanExecutive Produced by Eoin BrennanExecutive Produced by Ruth FitzsimonsProduced by Siobhan WalshAssistant Produced by Siobhan MaguireSound Design and Editing by Neil KavanaghAudio Editing support by Ed SmithMarketing support by Bríd Walsh and Roisin ReillySocial support by Mark Hayes and Robyn ReeArtwork and graphics by Eric Rowntree
