The anguished family of a teenager kidnapped and killed by the IRA yesterday have made a fresh appeal for information on the eve of the 40th anniversary of his disappearance.

A new search for the remains of a teenager kidnapped and murdered by the IRA nearly 40 years ago has been called off.

A fifth search for one of the so-called 'Disappeared' has resumed near Bragan Bog in Co Monaghan today.
