In August 1994, 15-year-old Arlene Arkinson went to a disco in Bundoran. Arlene never came home. Her body was never found.
Despite countless searches, multiple police investigations, and even a murder trial in 2005, Arlene Arkinson's family never got justice. In Part 1, we meet Arlene as she is getting ready for a night out - her last night on earth.
Some crimes don't get solved. Some families never get justice. Unsolved, hosted by award-winning crime journalist Barry Cummins and RTÉ presenter Katja Mia, is a true crime podcast made in the hope that someone listening knows something.
In each episode, we investigate Irish cold cases with the victim firmly at the centre of the story, focusing on the lives behind the headlines, what we know about the crime that took them from their loved ones and the lasting impact it had. Get in touch at unsolved@rte.ie.
