Search Resumes For Arlene Arkinson
Detectives investigating the murder of teenager Arlene Arkinson who disappeared in 1994 have resumed a series of searches in rural locations in County Tyrone.
Following on from searches last year, the resumed operation has the twin objectives of recovering the schoolgirl's remains and progressing the investigation.
A team of officers using specialist PSNI search dogs are conducting searches at a number of locations.
The sites to be covered in this phase of the search strategy have links to the overall investigation into Arlene’s disappearance and murder. Searches will continue to be conducted on a planned roll-out, depending on weather conditions, availability of resources and operational commitments.
15 year old Arlene disappeared after a night out in Bundoran in the early hours of 14 August 1994. In 2005 a 61 year old man stood trial for Arlene’s murder but was acquitted.
Detectives from Serious Crime Branch have been in contact with Arlene's family to provide them with a general update on the overall situation.
