Scarf Hoped To Unlock Bláthnaid's Whereabouts

It is hoped the discovery of a distinctive scarf will assist in the search for missing woman Bláthnaid Timothy.

Gardaí this morning released the description of a scarf that she was believed to be wearing as a headscarf at the time of her disappearance.

A Gardaí spokesman said the scarf was found in a warehouse and is called a "Dogtooth" scarf and is quite distinctive. The scarf is slightly frayed from wear and tear and may help jog people's memories if they had seen her.

Officers are also still appealing for people who were in the Howth Village - Harbour Road - Howth Pier area on the evening of Tuesday the December 14 from 8.30pm onwards and who may have seen Bláthnaid or any lone female out walking to contact them.

Emergency services were dealing with an incident on the West Pier from about 8pm onwards that evening and the Howth Yacht Club AGM was on so we are aware that there were people in the area who may have seen something that they should make us aware of.

This additional information may make those people more aware of the crucial timeframe and day/date.

Any information from the public, please, to Gardaí at Harcourt Terrace on 01 6669500, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
