Unsolved: The 1928 Disappearance of Arthur Poole
Arthur Henri Poole was one of the most celebrated photographers in early 20th-century Ireland. An Englishman by birth, he was also most well-known figures in the city of Waterford where he lived for over four decades.
In 1928 Poole disappeared almost without trace.
Even though he was well known in Waterford, it would be almost three years before many people in the city realised he was missing.
Adding to the intrigue, his disappearance eerily mirrored that of another person connected to the Poole family two decades prior.
This podcast explores the mystery surrounding Arthur Poole.
