US EditionMissing pregnant woman investigation upgraded to murder
- On May 26, 2025, Gardaí reclassified the case of 25-year-old Fiona Pender, who went missing near Tullamore, Co Offaly, nearly 29 years ago, as a murder inquiry.
- The reclassification followed a sustained 28-year investigation involving thousands of documents, over 300 statements, and five previous arrests, with no one charged to date.
- Fiona, who was seven months pregnant and last seen at 6 a.m. On August 23, 1996, at her flat on Church Street, was the focus of extensive searches and evidence gathering.
- A new search commenced near Killeigh, Co Offaly, involving excavation and forensic examinations expected to last several days, with restricted airspace nearby.
- The upgrade suggests Gardaí seek to establish what happened to Fiona and have renewed appeals for anyone with information to come forward and assist the inquiry.
