Days from Home: Orla Benson

In the summer of 1995, 22-year-old Orla Benson travelled from Killarney to Boston for three months of work. She had just completed her degree in biotechnology and was due to return home within days.

On Friday, the 22nd of September, Orla joined friends for a night out in South Boston. She never made it home.

As detectives tried to establish what happened during the final part of Orla’s night, they uncovered a changing alibi, a violent past and serious failures that reached far beyond one man.

This is the story of Orla Benson.
