Sandra Collins was last seen Monday, December 4, 2000 in Killala, Co Mayo.
Gardaí have renewed an appeal for information on Sandra Collins 24 years after she went missing.
Ms Collins was last seen on December 4, 2000 at the Country Kitchen premises George’s Street, Killala, Co Mayo around 11pm.
The 28-year-old woman, who was pregnant at the time she went missing, went for a bag of chips and was expected to return to her aunt’s house, who she worked as a carer for, but never turned up.
Gardaí are once again asking the public to come forward with any information which could be relevant in the case.
Detective Inspector John Costello, stated: “We want to thank the public who have been of assistance in this investigation to date. We are now appealing to those who may have additional information to please get in contact.
“Perhaps you have information you thought was insignificant at the time, or it could be that after 24 years have passed, your circumstances have now changed.”
He continued: “Relationships change, loyalties change, and people may not now be constrained by the set of circumstances that existed for them some 24 years ago. With that passage of time, people may feel more comfortable sharing information with us.
“Anyone who contacts An Garda Síochána will be treated with confidentiality, compassion and sensitivity,” added Detective Costello.
Gardaí continue to liaise closely with the Collins family in relation to the investigation.
Anyone with information can contact Ballina Garda Station on 096 20560, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.
