The system has let us down, says brother of missing woman Imelda Keenan

Imelda Keenan, who disappeared from Waterford City in 1994.

The brother of Imelda Keenan, who has been missing for more than three decades, says the family are “completely devastated” by a Garda decision not to upgrade its missing person investigation to a murder inquiry.

Ms Keenan, originally from Mountmellick in Co Laois, was last seen in Waterford City at 1.30pm on January 3, 1994. The 22-year-old was living in Waterford at the time.
