Forgiven : Part One of a two-part Irish Examiner Investigative Podcast series.

Ep. 1

A two-part podcast series on the brutal murder of an Irish priest in a lonely Texas hotel room... a life ruined by a wrongful conviction, and a decades-long campaign for justice... a story of secrets, desperation, and a murderer who was never caught. 

In this first episode, Ann Murphy speaks to James Reyos, the man convicted of the brutal murder of Fr. Patrick Ryan. She also talks to local police officers as well as to the woman whose phone call to police added another twist to the story of James Reyos and led to him wrongly serving more time in prison.

    A two-part podcast series on the brutal murder of an Irish priest in a lonely Texas hotel room... a life ruined by a wrongful conviction, and a decades-long campaign for justice... a story of secrets, desperation, and a murderer who was never caught. In this second episode, Ann Murphy talks to a local police chief about how a true crime podcast led him to reopen the investigation into the brutal murder of Fr. Patrick Ryan that lead to the conviction of James Reyos for a crime he didn't commit... and how despite having new evidence of DNA matches for fingerprints found at the scene, no one has ever been charged in relation to the crime.
