Viewer discretion advised. If you are impacted by any of the themes covered in this podcast, support is available at www.rte.ie/helplines. Fiona Pender was last seen alive in August 1996 by her boyfriend John in their bedsit in Tullamore. She was 25 years old and seven months pregnant. Fiona and her family had just come through a family tragedy but were preparing for a new chapter in their lives. All this changed when Fiona disappeared. Her body was never found. No one ever got to meet the baby that Fiona and John were expecting. In Part One of our series on the murder of Fiona Pender, we meet the real woman behind the headlines - her life, her ambitions, her last day on earth and the beginnings of a murder investigation that has gripped Ireland for 30 years.  In each episode, we investigate Irish cold cases with the victim firmly at the centre of the story, focusing on the lives behind the headlines, what we know about the crime that took them from their loved ones and the lasting impact it had.
