The True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland

In 1972, at the height of the Troubles in Northern Ireland, a young woman named Jean McConville was abducted from her home in Belfast. She was never seen again. Her murder remains one of the most notorious unsolved crimes in Irish history.

Jean McConville's family spent years searching for her, but they never gave up hope that they would find out the truth about what happened to her. In 2003, her body was finally found on a beach in County Louth, Ireland. The discovery of her body reignited the investigation into her murder, and in 2011, a man named Ivor Bell was convicted of her murder.
