88 - Location Unknown: The murder of Meg Walsh

In October of 2006, Meg Walsh went missing. She wasn't at her home, and she didn't turn up for work. The garda investigation that followed revealed that Meg had had some troubling experiences recently in her private life. Her body was found in the river Suir two weeks after she was first reported missing. But without a crime scene, would it be possible to get justice for Meg?
