The File on Fr Guadalupe
1987 • E14 Nov 22, 1987
Three years ago, Joe and Eileen Connolly left St Louis, Missouri for Central America in search of Eileen's brother, a Catholic priest.
Fr 'Guadalupe' Carney had disappeared in mysterious circumstances in the jungles of Honduras. Their search was to uncover a tangle of political intrigue and secrecy which stretched back to
Washington, but it was also to leave many important questions unanswered.
David Jessel 's film on the Connollys won the Royal Television Society's
International Current Affairs award in 1984. Now he reports on new evidence which sheds important light on Fr Guadalupe 's fate, and on the extraordinary journey of faith and discovery which the Connollys have made.
