GARDAÍ HAVE SENT a number of items discovered during the search for Tina Satchwell to be tested for DNA evidence.
Sources have confirmed to TheJournal.ie that members of the search team discovered the items this morning at the site in Mitchel’s Wood, Castlemartyr, Cork.
They have now been sent for forensic testing. However, well-informed sources said that – given the size of the site – officers expect to find a number of items during the course of the search which will have nothing to do with the missing woman.
However, all items found will be sent for testing as the team combs the area for any scrap of evidence that might shed light on what happened to the 46-year-old woman.
Tina disappeared from her home in Youghal, which is about a 20-minute drive from Castlemartyr, nearly a year ago.
Last week, gardaí received information leading them to the parkland. It is believed that a person acting suspiciously was spotted exiting the woods on the night Tina Satchwell was supposed to have gone missing.
Gardaí believe this account to be credible and are now focusing their attention on the Castlemartyr area. Nearby CCTV, where available, is being reviewed. In some cases, the CCTV from the night may have been overwritten by newer files due to the length of time which has elapsed.
While senior gardaí would not comment on the logistics of the search, it is understood officers will first focus on an area of grassland which was closest to where the witness alleges they saw a person leaving the woodlands. This is an area of between four and six acres in size.

Decisions in dublin bus go round and round, round and round round and round…..
They like to do things that suits them and not the customers. Love to know the exact reasons for the change they want. A drivers Sunday roast break.
It might have had something to do with fact that bus journeys in Dublin often go take ages due to their convoluted routes.
I love those endearing Management bullshit terms – reliability, customer friendly, sustainability, efficiency, the list goes on & on.
Dublin bus is a useless quango that only exists for the benefit of the drivers. I live near the 27 bus route and at times they’re so rare that when the bus appears it’s like a mirage
So Rare ! Last week I saw 2x 27buses passing me bye in Fairview within seconds of each other.
The 27 is probably one of the least rare bus routes in their fleet.
This is national news then
Actually it is yesterdays news Aidan, but you are only reading it now due to your crappy Broadband down in Cork.
Haha
Some cream for that burn, Aidan?
This is really important news for the country
It is. More people would be affected by this than the population of Leitrim. Important it gets coverage.
It’s an important route to Beaumont Hospital. The 17a is the most undependable bus ever.
Galway people and Kerry people are REALLY interested in the 27B Dublin bus route.
As is the Secretary General of the United Nations.
Not.
The 360meg bb is fine in Cork thanks
have your say
