On St Patrick’s weekend 2024, 23-year-old Kelly Lynch travelled from her home in Armagh to Monaghan to support her boyfriend after a sudden death in his family. Two nights later, on the walk home from the pub in the town, on the Friday night of a busy bank holiday, Kelly disappeared.

She was found in the Ulster Canal on the Sunday morning. Gardaí said Kelly had drowned and quickly confirmed they were not treating her death as suspicious. But as the details emerged, her family were left with devastating questions.

In this episode of Lines of Enquiry, John Sweetman follows Kelly’s final movements, the contradictions at the heart of the investigation, and the campaign led by a family desperate for answers.
