Renewed appeal for woman missing since 1996

A RENEWED appeal for information was launched over the weekend in relation to missing Offaly woman Fiona Pender.

Ms Pender was aged 25 and seven months pregnant when she disappeared from the flat she shared with her boyfriend in Tullamore on August 22, 1996.

Leaflets featuring the last picture ever taken of Ms Pender were distributed throughout the country on Saturday by volunteers wearing T-shirts and sporting the missing woman’s picture.
