What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
When Natalie McNally left the World Cup watch party at her parents' house, she had no idea that someone had been preparing to take her life. She promised her mummy that she'd see her in the coming days, but within hours, the 32-year-old mother-to-be would be found dead inside of her own home. And whoever had killed Natalie had also created an alibi that was so convincing that at first it appeared impossible to disprove. But hidden inside of that alibi was one enormous lie. And in the end, the killer's carefully crafted cover story would actually be the thing to expose them entirely. Hello and welcome to Outlaw Podcast. I'm Eleanor Neill and in today's episode we're in County Armour in Northern Ireland where emergency services have just received a frantic phone call from Natalie McNally's boyfriend.
He hadn't heard from her in hours so he had driven over to her place where he walked in and found Natalie laying unresponsive at the top of the stairs. There was blood everywhere. And from the moment police arrive, they know that this was no accident.
Who was Natalie McNally and what was her life like before the murder?
Natalie was just 32 years old and she was 15 weeks pregnant with her first child. Someone had murdered her inside of her own home. And the question now is who? She had no enemies. She didn't cause trouble for anyone. No one would really have much to gain from Natalie's death. And at first, practically everyone close to her appears to have an alibi for that night. Some of those explanations are backed up by messages, others by witnesses, and one of them is even backed up by hours of video evidence. But the alibi that looked the strongest in the beginning would end up being the one that gave the killer away. Now, before we get into the case, I do just want to give my usual disclaimer that I mean absolutely no harm or disrespect to anyone that we talk about today.
Our episodes are made with the utmost care to honour those who lost their lives and respect the profound grief that their loved ones endure. By covering these cases, we aim to keep the victims' names and stories in conversation and highlight the vital work that so many of their loved ones do in the wake of their deaths. Now, given the nature of today's episode, we'll be covering some very sensitive topics, actually quite a lot, so listen carefully. That includes murder, child loss, mental health struggles, domestic abuse, extreme violence, manipulation, violence against women and girls, and suicidal ideation and attempt. This episode is created with the hope to raise awareness, to inspire change, and to further victim support.
Viewer discretion is advised. Now it's time to get into the case. But actually, before this ever was a case, this was Natalie McNally's life as a beloved daughter, sister and mother-to-be. So let's start there. Natalie McNally was born on October 27th, 1990 and seemingly lived her whole life in Lurgan, County Armour, Northern Ireland. She had three brothers. Natalie was actually the only girl in the family, well, other than her mum, Bernadette, who was actually more like her best friend all throughout her life. The bond that they shared as mother and daughter was so incredibly strong. But all in all, they were a family of six, so it was quite a big family. It was mum, Bernadette, dad, Noel, brothers, Declan, Niall and Brendan, and of course, little Natalie.
She was always a super smart girl. As a child, she loved to read and write and just learn in general. She was very well-behaved, she was sweet-natured. Her parents said that she was just the most perfect daughter they could have asked for. And growing up alongside her three brothers, Natalie took an avid interest in watching football. In fact, her whole family were dedicated Everton supporters. So it would have been kind of hard for her to avoid getting into football, even if she wanted to. But this was such a huge bonding point for the McNally family. They would all gather in front of the TV to watch the games and to celebrate together. But while Natalie was still very young, she also had to learn to manage her health in a way that a lot of children don't have to consciously think about.
