The Crime I Can't Forget S02E07 - Killed at Closing Time
Summary:
On the night of October 13, 2010, eyewitnesses called 999 when they discovered 18-year-old Niall Dorr lying unconscious on Castle Road in Dundalk, County Louth. He had severe head injuries and was later declared dead at Beaumont Hospital.
Newly-promoted detective inspector Pat Marry is put in charge of the investigation. It's his first case in Dundalk, and his team scour the town for clues, including CCTV footage and forensic evidence. An anonymous tip-off suggests Niall had been assaulted by a notorious local thug. But Pat faces a problem when terrified eyewitnesses refuse to make statements.
Pat is determined to deliver justice and provide closure to Niall's friends and family. So he turns instead to forensic science to catch the killer. He describes how he meticulously built the case, finally relying on a discarded cigarette butt and brand-new DNA techniques to identify Douglas Ward as the killer.
Niall's father Dave Dorr, along with his friends, talk about Niall, the circumstances of his death and the promising life that was tragically cut short.
