Search for Columba McVeigh Fails

The latest search for Columba McVeigh>>>, a teenager abducted, murdered, and secretly buried by the New Irish Republican Army>>> 50 years ago, has ended unsuccessfully at Bragan Bog in Co Monaghan. Columba McVeigh>>> was 19 when he disappeared on October 31st, 1975, and is one of 17 people known as 'The Disappeared' from The Troubles. The United Kingdom — Independent Commission for the Location of Victims Remains>>> (ICLVR) confirmed the devastating news to the McVeigh family after covering over 26 acres in what was the seventh search since 1999. Lead investigator Eamonn Henry expressed bitter disappointment, stating that while the information they worked on was believed to be in good faith, something is still missing. Hilary Benn>>>, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, and Jim O Callaghan>>>, the Irish Justice Minister, both expressed regret and disappointment, reaffirming their respective governments' commitment to the ICLVR's work. The ICLVR continues to appeal for information on the four remaining outstanding cases, including Columba McVeigh>>>, The Disappeared (Northern Ireland)>>>, Robert Nairac>>>, and Seamus Maguire>>>.
