Pender’s mother fears she may not see daughter’s remains

Having suffered poor health, the mother of missing Offaly woman Fiona Pender fears she may die before the remains of her daughter and unborn grandchild are located.

Fiona Pender disappeared from her flat on Church Street in Tullamore on August 22, 1996. The 25-year-old hairdresser and part-time model was seven months pregnant at the time.

She will be remembered at the first annual ‘Fiona’s Way’ walk along the banks of the Grand Canal in Tullamore this Sunday.
