[00:00:00]In 1907, Ireland's Crown Jewels vanished from one of the most secure locations in the British Empire. Dublin Castle's Bedford Tower was supposed to be impenetrable. The jewels were worth millions in today's money. Saint Patrick's Star and Badge, diamond-encrusted symbols of British power over Ireland. But on July 6th, they were simply gone. Sir Arthur Vicars, the man responsible for protecting them, swore he was innocent.

[00:00:25]He had the only keys. The safe showed no signs of being forced open. The investigation uncovered shocking [music] scandals, corruption among castle officials, secret affairs, possible connections to Irish rebels. The timing was suspicious. King Edward VII was about to visit Dublin. Was this political? A message to the Crown? The police had theories but no proof. Vicars lost everything. His career destroyed, his reputation ruined. Over a century later, the jewels have never been found.

[00:00:54]No arrests were ever made. No confessions, no breakthroughs. The Irish Crown Jewels remain one of history's most perfect unsolved heists.
