'Tina Satchwell never left home alive': Why forensic expert requested invasive search

Forensic archaeologist Niamh McCullagh tells Central Criminal Court of her reasoning for advising a new search of the missing woman's home in Youghal Co Cork in 2022

Tina Satchwell went missing in 2017. 

A forensic archaeologist concluded that missing Cork woman Tina Satchwell had most likely been killed in her home and her body concealed within it after reviewing the case in 2022.

Niamh McCullagh advised gardaí to conduct an invasive search at the property — including the stairwell area where the body would be found during that subsequent search in October 2023.
