It was the worst terrorist act against the United States in history.For the parents of one victim, it became a personal fight for justice.In 1988, Pan Am flight 103, en route to New York, exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 259 people on board and 11 on the ground. Among the victims was Susan and Daniel Cohen’s daughter Theodora. The Cohens vowed to learn the truth about their daughter’s murder, by demanding answers to questions that everyone but the Cohens were afraid to ask. How could Pan Am allow an unattended bomb to pass through security? Why was Pan Am fueling unfounded and absurd conspiracy theories? Why did the Bush Administration distance itself from the tragedy? Why did it take twelve anguished years to bring the accused Libyans to trial? What role did the United Nations play in letting Moammar Gadhafi avoid personal involvement in the criminal process? Why were the bereaved victims’ families repeatedly rebuked, dismissed, and lied to about an international tragedy that became a global disgrace? A deeply personal story of the relentless pursuit of justice, Pan Am 103 is told with passion, eloquence and righteous anger by a mother and father who refuse to be silenced-and whose private nightmare will never end.
