Missing women cases to be kept open

A Garda chief has renewed appeals to people with information about the high-profile cases of missing women to end the “living nightmare” of families and come forward.

Assistant Commissioner Derek Byrne says there “must be” people with information that could unlock the cases and urged them to use confidential reporting systems.

Mr Byrne was speaking at the launch of the 2014 report of Crimestoppers, a joint initiative between the Garda Siochána and businesses operating since 1998.
