It's ten years since architect Graham Dwyer was convicted of the murder of childcare worker Elaine O’Hara, whose remains were discovered in the Dublin Mountains in September 2013. The evidence in his trial shocked the nation, exposing Dwyer’s sadistic fantasies and serial abuse of a vulnerable young woman. For almost a decade, Graham Dwyer pursued every avenue of appeal, finally exhausting his legal options in July 2024. He continues to serve a life sentence.

Geraldine Noone is a forensic psychologist who spent more than thirty years in An Garda Síochána and, since retirement, has worked for Interpol and FIFA, as well as a private consultant. She was centrally involved in the investigation of Elaine O’Hara’s murder and in the interview strategy used by Gardaí in questioning Dwyer. Geraldine recently participated in a major new television series about the case.

Geraldine speaks to Ciara Doherty about her career, her role in the investigation of Graham Dwyer’s crime, and the critical role forensic psychology can play in catching killers.

‘Murderer Behind the Mask’ is streaming now on Prime Video.
