Grainne Canavan is a former resident of 9 Wellington Terrace in Cork whose teenage search for independence placed her alongside people who would later become central to a disturbing murder investigation.

In this episode of Life by Misadventure, Grainne remembers living with Fred Flannery, her friendship with missing man Cathal O'Brien, the disappearances connected to the house, and how she gradually came to understand what may have happened after she left.

Grainne reflects on the unsettling truth that people aren't simply good or bad, and how someone she remembers treating her with kindness could also be connected to events she has spent decades trying to understand.
