A family haunted by the search for truth

IN December 1972 Jean McConville, a 38-year-old widow with 10 children, was abducted, murdered and dumped in an unamrked grave by the Provisional IRA.

Her body was not recovered for 31 years.

Despite family differences, her nine surviving children have called for legal action against Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams over his alleged involvement.
