De Engelse Carrie Jade Williams was begin dertig toen ze contact opnam met de Ierse publieke omroep RTÉ omdat ze graag wilde vertellen over de dodelijke ziekte die haar had getroffen. Ze werd gevolgd voor een documentaire, maar gaandeweg begon er iets te knagen: wie was deze jonge vrouw die haar tragische lot zo moedig leek te dragen? Carrie’s beerput bleek zo overvol te zitten dat er een hele serie aan haar en haar leugens werd gewijd. Een even verbijsterend als verdrietig levensverhaal dat met mededogen wordt verteld.
A true crime series from RTÉ in Ireland and RÚV in Iceland (“Hvar er Jón?”) on the unexplained disappearance of Jón Jónsson, an Icelandic man who came to play at the 2019 Dublin Poker Festival and vanished within 24 hours of arriving in the city. We go in search of what happened to Jón and try to bring him home. Previous series include The Real Carrie Jade, Runaway Joe, Finding Samantha, First Consignment, GunPlot, Tiger Roll and The Nobody Zone.
As the search site turns into a dig site, Jón’s family await news of the search. If Jón is found, it will end all hope and a new chapter of grief begins. And as we near the end of this series, new tips continue to emerge. With everything that has been uncovered, Jón’s family ask that his case is now upgraded to a murder inquiry in the hope that they finally get some answers.
