Car find may solve mystery of missing businessman

The chance discovery of a submerged car may solve the mystery disappearance 22 years ago of a well-known businessman and former county councillor.

DNA tests are to be carried out in the coming days on human remains which were yesterday recovered by divers from a car found submerged in the River Blackwater in Fermoy, Co Cork.

Gardaí believe the remains are likely to be that of William “Bill” Fennessy, who has not been seen since Mar 30, 1990.
