Probably the best known story of those disappeared by the IRA is Jean McConville's. She was dragged from the arms of her young children by an IRA gang in 1972, then shot and buried. Her body was finally recovered in 2003. One of the most harrowing images from last night's programme is that of Jean's young children being interviewed by a reporter after their mother's abduction. After his mother was abducted, Michael McConville explained how at eleven years of age he was tied up and beaten when he threatened to tell police about what had happened. He spoke to Stephen about last night's show and is family's ongoing campaign to clear their mother's name and get an apology from the IRA.
