Gardai are renewing their appeal for information on the cold case murder of a Dublin mother of two in 36 years ago.
27-year-old Antoinette Smith went to a David Bowie concert in Slane with a friend on the 11th of July 1987.
She was last seen in Dublin City Centre after going to a nightclub after the gig.
Antoinette and her friend returned to Dublin by bus, arriving in Parnell Square at around 11 pm that night.
They went to the La Mirage nightclub on Parnell Street, where they met two men that they knew. They stayed in the nightclub until 2 am.
Antoinette’s friend parted company when they left the club. However, Antoinette remained for some time and spoke to the two men until all three walked the short distance to the taxi rank on O’Connell Street. The men got a taxi to the Ballymun area, while Antoinette continued to walk by the Gresham Hotel on O’Connell Street towards O’Connell Street Bridge.
Antoinette was subsequently reported missing to Gardaí by her husband. She remained missing for nine months until her remains were discovered on Glendoo Mountain close to Enniskerry in Co Wicklow.
Gardaí at Bray Garda Station are renewing their appeal for information in relation to the disappearance and murder of Antoinette Smith.
Detectives are asking anyone with information to come forward, saying it will be dealt with in a sensitive manner.
Gardaí are urging individuals, who 36 years on may want to come forward, to do so, especially if relationships or associations may have changed over the years.
Anyone with information can contact Gardaí in Bray at 01 666 5300, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
