The investigation into the death of Clontibret man, Fintan Traynor remains active according to investigating Gardai.
In the past 14 years An Garda Síochána have followed over 400 leads, however the vehicle and driver have yet to be located.
Tomorrow marks the 14th anniversary of the death of the 20-year-old, who was killed in a hit and run collision in Lemgare, Clontibret, County Monaghan.
In the early hours of Sunday, 26th June 2011, Fintan Traynor was walking home after a night out in Castleblayney, County Monaghan. He was struck by a car on the Lemgare Road, which links the villages of Clontibret and Annyalla with Derrynoose and Keady in Co. Armagh.
The driver of the vehicle failed to stop and fled the scene. Investigating Gardaí believe that an Audi A4 - 1996 to 2001 model - was involved in this collision. The front lower portion of the grille of such a vehicle was recovered by Gardaí at the scene of the collision. On the 14th anniversary of Fintan's death, An Garda Síochána is renewing the appeal for information concerning this fatal hit and run.
Detective Inspector Adrian Durcan of the Monaghan Garda District is appealing to the public for information, he is appealing to anyone that may have any information to please come forward. He said with the passage of time, perhaps someone may feel more comfortable coming forward with information in relation to this matter.
Inspector Durcan asked, do you know someone who may have had damage to an Audi car around this period? The inspector added that in 14 years loyalties, friendships and relationships change and perhaps now you are in a position to provide the investigation team with the vital information that would locate the vehicle and driver.
Any person with information is urged to contact Monaghan Garda Station on 047 77200, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
