A RENEWED APPEAL has been launched for Sandra Collins, who went missing today in Co Mayo 25 years ago.

The last confirmed sighting of Sandra was on the night of Monday, December 4, 2000 at approximately 11pm at the Country Kitchen premises George’s Street, Killala.

She was 28 years of age at the time of her disappearance.

Gardaí in Killala, Co Mayo, are renewing their appeal for information and are asking the public if they have any piece of information which they feel might be relevant to this investigation to make contact with them.

Detective Inspector John Costello said gardaí appreciate the help of the public who have been of assistance in the investigation to date, but they are appealing to others who may have additional information to get in contact.

“Perhaps you have information you thought was insignificant at the time,” Costello said.

Relationships change, loyalties change and people may not now be constrained by the set of circumstances that existed for them some 25 years ago. With that passage of time, people may feel more comfortable sharing information with gardaí.

Costello added that anyone who contacts An Garda Síochána will be treated with “confidentiality, compassion and sensitivity” by investigators.

Gardaí continue to liaise closely with the Collins family in relation to the investigation as they hope to find out what happened to Sandra, a Garda spokesperson said in relation to the case.

Anyone with information can contact Ballina Garda Station on 096 20560, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.
