Bonus: Dolores McCrea

This Bonus episode was first published as a "Guilt Trip" episode on Patreon on 7th April 2019. Dolores McCrea married the man that she had met and fallen for while in Secondary School in Donegal. But her husband, Gary, was a controlling man and became abusive. Soon the violence became too much for Dolores and she left Gary, bringing along their four daughters. But often the time after a person leaves their abuser is the most dangerous. And this was the case for Dolores. Gary McCrea had plans for Dolores once she left him which would lead him to standing in the dock in the Four Courts just over a year later. Music: Kevin McLeod, Quinns Song : The Dance Begins.
