JetSet Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Oh dear, can't leave the house without permission as my lane has been sealed off by the police in the hunt for a missing woman. They found her burnt out car at a quarry a couple of hundred yards from my house and the area is swarming with police and forensics. I also spotted a few camera crews in the area too. Doesn't look too good for the missing woman sadly. http://www.leaderlive.co.uk/news/116930/latest-police-find-car-in-hunt-for-missing-catherine-gowing.aspx Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Its very sad really, police have confirmed its the missing ladies car and are searching the quarry and surrounding area. They have warned me that the search could take some days and to expect some disturbance as they will have the helicopter up from time to time.

JetSet Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Although the police haven't said so they are now almost certainly searching for a body. They have told me that driving up and down the lane is O.K, but I'm not allowed to walk within the search zone which really excludes me from leaving the house by foot. They have a fairly large area to search, 2 quarries , 2 large wooded areas plus a couple of abandoned farms and a disused railway line. One of the quarries has a very deep pond which will be the centre of the search when a specialist team arrives. The lane remains blocked at both ends with a 24/7 police presence and only residents of the 4 houses in the lane are being allowed in and out.

JetSet Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Just a quick footnote. I was interviewed by the Evening Herald of Dublin over the weekend and took the journalists down to the spot where the car was found burned out. They had been driving up and down the lane trying to find the site without success, it's that well hidden. Pretty sad place as small bits of the burned out Renault were still in situ . As you may have seen on the news today the guy had already been to prison 3 times and has got a 37 year minimum jail sentence which means he'll be at least 83 before he gets out. A little column about it here. http://www.herald.ie/news/couple-speak-of-evil-as-sharp-jailed-for-life-29092586.html Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobears Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 How awful I don't keep up with the news but I have just read your link and it is shocking. It must make you feel a bit funny living so close to somewhere that a really evil thing has happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
