In February 2019, Jón Jónsson, a 41-year-old Icelandic man, walked out of his Dublin hotel in broad daylight—and was never seen again. No phone, no wallet, no known reason for leaving. Despite extensive searches, his whereabouts remain unknown. How does someone disappear without a trace in a busy city?
In this episode, we investigate Jón Jónsson’s disappearance and explore the overlaps with other cases, including the unsettling mystery of Peter Bergmann—a man who meticulously erased his identity before vanishing from an Irish beach. What connects these cases? And why do some missing persons seem to step off the map entirely?

In December 1991, Patricia Doherty left her home in Tallaght to go Christmas shopping—she was never seen alive again. Her body was discovered months later in the Wicklow Mountains, yet her killer was never identified. Patricia’s case remains unsolved, but it bears unsettling similarities to other disappearances linked to Ireland’s infamous Vanishing Triangle; like Antoinette Smith and Marie Killmartin. Were these crimes connected, or should we merely neglect to acknowledge their similarities? This week on Red Room, we will discuss Patricia's disappearance.
If you have any information about Patricia Doherty, Antoinette Smith or Marie Kilmartin's case you should contact at nbci.scrt@garda.ie or by calling the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111
