Mary Boyle: The Untold Story
Mary Boyle is Ireland's youngest missing person. She was six when she vanished on her grandparents' remote farm in March 1977 after going for a walk with her uncle. The Irish police and media have always maintained she was taken by a stranger but her identical twin sister and the first officers on the scene believe she was murdered by someone she knew. This documentary tells their story.
