Case of Mayo woman's disappearance to feature on Crimecall tonight
Sandra Collins.
The case of missing Mayo woman Sandra Collins will be the subject of a segment of the investigative RTÉ programme Crimecall tonight at 9.35pm.
Sandra was 29 years old when she went missing from Killala on December 4, 2000. She was pregnant at the time and was last seen at approximately 11pm at the Country Kitchen premises on George’s Street.
At the time of her disappearance, Sandra was wearing black boots, black pants, a beige sleeveless top and a maroon/beige sleeveless fleece jacket.
Her family have worked hard to ensure that her case remains in the spotlight ever since.
On next Monday’s edition of Crimecall, a reconstruction of the events around the time of the last sighting of Sandra will be aired, as well as an appeal from members of the Collins family.
The episode of Crimecall airs tonight at 9.35pm on RTÉ One.
Gardaí continue to investigate the case and issued a fresh appeal in early December, urging people who may once have been constrained by past loyalties to come forward with any information regarding the disappearance of Sandra.
“We are now appealing to those who may have additional information to please get in contact,” said Det Insp John Costello.
“Perhaps you have information you thought was insignificant at the time, or it could be that after 24 years have passed, your circumstances have now changed.
“Relationships change, loyalties change and people may not now be constrained by the set of circumstances that existed for them some 24 years ago. With that passage of time, people may feel more comfortable sharing information with us.”
Anyone who contacts An Garda Siochana will be treated with confidentiality, compassion and sensitivity and can get in touch by calling Ballina Garda Station on 096 20560 or the Garda confidential telephone line on 1800 666 111.
