Proudly Irish and family-run since 1989 Proudly Irish and family-run since 1989

In 2017, Tina Satchwell vanished from her quiet Cork home. Her husband Richard claimed that she had taken their savings and left of her own accord. But as time passed and questions mounted, suspicion grew. Why did her husband wait four days before reporting her missing? And would Tina have left behind her wallet, her phone and, most importantly her beloved pets?
Here, with chilling detail and exclusive insights, journalists Ralph Reigel and Paul Byrne peel back the layers of a case that gripped Ireland for over six years.
From how Tina and Richard met just days after she moved to the UK as a vulnerable seventeen-year-old, to the search of the house that would lead to Richard Satchwell's downfall, Beneath the Stairs traces the cold-blooded deception of a man, bent on control, who lied to hide the truth while living above his wife's hidden grave.

But amid the darkness, a picture emerges of a kind and outgoing woman, cherished by a family who never gave up hope that, one day, they would get justice for themselves - and for their beloved Tina.
