Missing Mary Boyle’s twin sister Ann has complained to Gardai about the recent dig to find her sister’s body.
The site at Cashelard which Gardai dug up in the search for missing Mary Boyle
Gardai used a JCB to excavate a quarter acre site just 100 metres from where Mary was last seen in Cashelard near Ballyshannon in 1977.
It follows a scan by a geophysical company Scantech who identified a possible burial site in the area.
However before they could finalise their report, Gardai carried out a dig.
Now Ann Boyle has called on the Garda ombudsman to investigate the dig.
“The Gardai had come in looking for a body when it was more likely they would find evidence of a temporary resting place or grave. All those clues appear to be gone,” said Ann.
