Go to Castlebar ] [ The BB Index ] [ Disclaimer ] [Nostalgia Board ] [Main BB ] [Roots ] [NB Refresh for current version and all follow-ups] Posted by Mrsk on August 07, 2004 at 19:49:18: The nightmare was about to begin 28 years ago this month with the arrival in Ireland of two Englishmen, John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans. The first victim was Elizabeth Plunkett a 23 year old Dublin woman. The next victim was Mary Duffy of Castlebar. She was abducted at the junction of the Golf Links and Ballinrobe roads at Saleen while waiting for a lift home with her brother (?) She worked in a small coffee shop in the town. Her body was finally found in Lough Inagh, now a popular fishing and holiday destination, but in 1976 it was a lovely remote lake in Connemara.
