This series revisits horrendous cold-case murders, taking the audience on a journey across the badlands of Ulster in the four decades between 1973 and 2005. Behind each story is the bubbling context of the Northern Ireland of the time, a place engulfed in sectarian conflict.

This is the inside story of 15-year-old Arlene Arkinson who disappeared in 1994. Arlene left a housing estate in Castlederg to attend a disco in Bundoran. Her older sister Kathleen waved her goodbye but would never see her again. Her remains are undiscovered but presumed to have been buried in one of the vast swathes of bogland or forestry on the Irish border. Show less
