Gardaí renew probe into 35-year-old disappearance

A fresh investigation into the disappearance 35 years ago of Mary Boyle, Ireland’s longest-missing person, is being conducted by An Garda Síochána.

The report of the renewed inquiry — a re-examination of the file started earlier this year — is expected to be on the desk of Kieran Kenny, Garda Northern Region Assistant Commissioner, within weeks.

It is being conducted by Monaghan-based Detective Superintendent John O’Reilly, following an approach to high-ranking gardaí by a close friend of Mary Boyle’s family.
