Body of 'Disappeared' man believed found

A body believed to be that of Gerard Evans - one of the so-called "Disappeared''- has been found in Co Louth.

A body believed to be that of Gerard Evans – one of the so-called “Disappeared”, killed and buried by the IRA during the Troubles – has been discovered days after a 16-month search ended.

The Independent Commission for the Location of Victims’ Remains, which was searching for the body of Mr Evans, last seen hitch-hiking in 1979, said it had found human remains at a site close to the Border.
