Episode Details

They’ve uncovered 22 more baby remains at an old Irish orphanage for unmarried mothers, bringing the total to 99—buried under asphalt that once served as a driveway, with no markers to mark their final resting place. Once run by Catholic nuns from 1925 to 1961, the site’s dark history was revealed after a historian found records of nearly 800 infant deaths with no documented burials. The Irish government authorized a full forensic dig, which is now ongoing and expected to last years. Over 60 people have donated DNA in hopes of identifying the children, and authorities are urging anyone who might have lost a loved one there to come forward—seeking closure for families who’ve waited decades for answers.
