Family of missing pensioner visit site where body found

THE family of a pensioner who has been missing for more than two years visited the site yesterday where human remains were found close to where she was last seen.

The discovery in dense undergrowth on the side of Bray Head, Co Wicklow, was made on Monday by a local resident. Gardaí suspect the find may be linked to missing Alzheimer’s sufferer Maura Reynolds, 78, who vanished from a care centre on Christmas Night, 2005.

Ms Reynolds’s son, George, and daughter-in-law, Priscilla, arrived at the scene at a remote ravine on the side of the headland overlooking the Irish Sea, shortly before the body was removed yesterday morning.
