An inquest in Tralee has finally answered a three-year long question - who was the man found dead on Slieve Mish Mountain in Kerry in 2020 and how was the FBI involved?

The body of a man was found on November 14, 2020, in the mountainous Tonevane area in Kerry by a farmer out looking for his sheep.

The body was in an advanced state of decomposition, but papers found on the dead man’s body lead Gardai to contact US authorities.

The story that unfolded would bring the search for the dead man’s identity from Tralee all the way to Oregan in the USA.

Kevin Doyle is joined on the Indo Daily podcast by Sinéad Kelleher, reporter with the Kerryman and the Irish Independent, and by Jerry O'Sullivan, host of Kerry Today on Radio Kerry, to ask what drove a man from his American home, to a direct provision centre in Tralee, and how the FBI were connected in the tragic story of Thomas Stofiel.
