Disappeared (Northern Ireland)

The Disappeared is a term which refers to sixteen people believed to have been abducted and murdered during The Troubles in Northern Ireland. The Provisional IRA admitted to being involved in the forced disappearance of nine of the sixteen – Eamon Molloy, Seamus Wright, Kevin McKee, Jean McConville, Columba McVeigh, Brendan McGraw, John McClory, Brian McKinney, and Danny McIlhone. The organization said they could only accurately locate the body of one of their victims, but gave rough ideas for the remaining eight. As of November 2013 only seven bodies have been found. The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains is in charge of locating the remaining bodies.
