National: Renewed appeal for information on 23rd anniversary of woman's disappearance

GARDAÍ have renewed their appeal for information on missing woman, marking 23 years of her disappearance.

Believed to have been murdered, gardaí are searching for new/updated information on the disappearance of Sandra Collins from Killala, Mayo. She went missing on December 4, 2000.

Gardaí in Ballina have now renewed their appeal to the public for information. Sandra was 28 years old at the time of her disappearance.

Last sighted on the night of Monday, December 4, 2000 at approximately 11pm, Sandra was seen in the Country Kitchen premises on George’s Street, Killala, Co Mayo. 

The search for Sandra has continued over the past 23 years and the investigation into her disappearance remains active. An Garda Síochána continue to liaise closely with the Collins’ family in relation to this ongoing investigation.

They are encouraging anyone who might have additional information, which perhaps they thought was insignificant at the time, to come forward. Gardaí are also appealing to anyone whose circumstances may have changed over the subsequent 23 years and are now in a position to share relevant information with the investigation team.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Ballina garda station on 096 20560, the garda confidential line 1800 666 111 or any garda station.
