On 19th May 2018, twenty four year old Jastine Valdez took the bus to Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow, and began walking home. She had bought a loaf of bread for her mother. Along the road, a passing driver saw her being forced into a car and called Gardaí.
Jastine had joined her parents, Danny and Tess, in Ireland in 2015. She was studying, working part time and making plans for her future here.
In Taken: Jastine Valdez, Nules follows the search for Jastine, the investigation and the two inquests that followed. Through her family’s memories, the episode also remembers her life in the Philippines and Ireland, her hopes, and the close bond she shared with her parents.
