Gardaí renew appeal for information on 29th anniversary of woman's disappearance

Gardaí are renewing an appeal for information on the 29th anniversary of a 22 year old woman's disappearance. 

According to Gardaí, Imelda Keenan - originally from Mountmellick, Co Laois - was last seen on Monday January 3, 1994 in Waterford. 

On the day she went missing, Imelda had informed her boyfriend that she was going to the post office in the town. 

She left her apartment at 1.30pm and walked down William Street onto Lombard Street. The last known sighting of Imelda is at this time when she was seen crossing the road by a local doctor’s secretary who knew her. 

The secretary and a friend saw Imelda crossing the road at the corner of the Tower Hotel and Lombard Street.

Imelda was subsequently reported missing by her brother, Edward, the following day.

Despite an extensive Garda investigation, there have been no further confirmed sightings of Imelda and, 29 years on, Gardaí and Imelda’s family are appealing for people to come forward to assist with the investigation.
 
Gardaí would encourage anyone with information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to come forward to them.
 
Gardaí can be contacted at Waterford Garda Station on (051) 305 300, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
