Co Wicklow Body Found
A state pathologist is investigating a body found near Bray Head in Co Wicklow.
Although the body has yet to be formerly identified, relatives of missing 78 year-old Maura Reynolds have arrived at the scene.
Gardai were not able to disclose at this stage what clothing was found with remains or the sex of the individual.
Superintendent Michael Lernihan of Bray Grada Station said initial examinations suggest that they are those of an elderly person, and said he could not at this stage say if foul play was suspected.
Maura Reynolds went missing from a nursing home just over 1km away on 25 December 2005. But gardaí say it is too early to confirm the identity of the body.
The body was found in an area of wasteland, which is thick with undergrowth and down a 10-metre incline. The area had been searched during the search for Maura Reynolds in 2005.
The owners of the Bray nursing home from which Mrs Reynolds escaped was fined €2,000 at Bray District Court in January 2008 after the elderly woman went missing while in their care.
Mrs Reynolds suffered from Alzheimer's Disease had cancer of the spine leaving her very frail. Her family believed she could not have made it more than a few hundred yards by herself.
