Gardaí believe woman whose body was found in woods was last seen with a man

A reward has been offered.

GARDAÍ HAVE RENEWED their appeal for information about the murder of a woman whose body was found in woods in Blanchardstown in July.

Linda Christian Evans was last seen on 24 June in the Blanchardstown area. She had left the Ash Ward in Connolly Hospital just after 9am with a man. Her body was found in Coolmine Woods in July.

Speaking today, Detective Inspector Des McTiernan, Blanchardstown Garda Station said, “We are appealing to the public to come forward with any information on Linda’s movements around Saturday 24 June. Did anyone see her on Saturday around the Blanchardstown or Coolmine area?

“I genuinely believe that members of the public have information in relation to the murder and I am asking these individuals to come forward. Information can be given to investigating Gardaí at Blanchardstown Garda Station or any Garda Station.”

She had left Connolly Hospital and was not seen again. It is understood that gardaí believe that Linda was last seen with a man who is no longer in the country.

Gardaí are appealing to any member of the public who may have seen Linda, in particular any motorists, including motorcyclists and cyclists who have dash cams or other mobile recording devices.

They are appealing to anyone who was in the vicinity of the Snugborough Road, Coolmine Industrial Estate, Clonsilla Road and Main Street, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15 between 9am and 2pm on Saturday 24 June to make contact with Blanchardstown Garda station on 01-6667000.

Callers can claim a reward for information which significantly helps the investigation. Anybody with information can call Crimestoppers on 1800 25 00 25.
