Summary

In May 1988, 25-year-old Priscilla Clarke disappeared after reportedly setting out on horseback near the Powerscourt Estate in County Wicklow. This episode examines the official theory that she drowned in the River Dargle, the unanswered questions surrounding that day, and her family’s decades-long fight to find Priscilla, and ensure that Ireland’s unidentified dead are treated with dignity. This episode was researched, written and hosted by Jenny Claffey.
