‘Significant progress’ in missing teen Ciara Breen case

Forensic investigators are scouring bog land in Dundalk as part of an 18-year-old search for a missing teenage girl.

Ciara Breen, 17, vanished from her Bachelor’s Walk home in the Co Louth town, where she lived with her mother Bernadette, in the early hours of February 13, 1997.

It is believed she left the house to meet someone after they went to bed that night and left a window open to climb back in. But she was never again seen.
