Renewed appeal over murder of Antoinette Smith
Investigators say no chief suspect has been identified and are urging anyone with information from 1987 to come forward.
- Gardaí have renewed their appeal for information 39 years after Antoinette Smith's murder, urging anyone with "any piece of information" to come forward and assist the ongoing investigation.
- The 27-year-old mother went missing on July 11, 1987, after attending a David Bowie concert in Slane and visiting the La Mirage Discotheque on Parnell Street, last seen walking toward O'Connell Street Bridge.
- Smith remained missing for nine months until her body was discovered on Glendoo Mountain on April 3, 1988; Detective Inspector Seamus Ryan praised her daughters Rachel and Lisa for being "passionate" advocates.
- To encourage new leads, the Garda guarantees "absolute confidentiality" for anyone assisting, with Ryan noting that changed allegiances over decades may help crack the case via Bray Garda Station at 01-6665300.
- Investigators continue reviewing all evidence strands with no chief suspect identified; the incident room at Bray Garda Station remains open as authorities hope shifting perspectives will finally provide the breakthrough needed for closure.
