Hope in IRA victim search

TEN years after the IRA handed over a list of sites where gardaí would find the remains of the so-called “disappeared”, a new site — not on the original list — has been identified.

The new Louth site is believed to be the burial place of Gerry Evans, 24, from Crossmaglen, who abducted and murdered in 1979.

His unmarked grave is somewhere in bog land, off an isolated boreen, 6km from the border near Hackballscross.
