'We just want this nightmare to end' sister Columba McVeigh. International Day of the Disappeared is marked today at the site in the bog being searched for the remains of Columba McVeigh, from Donaghmore, Co Tyrone.
Columba was abducted, murdered and secretly buried by the IRA on October 31st, 1975. Moreover, he is one of 17 people known as the Disappeared.
The WAVE Trauma Centre are holding an event at Bragan Bog this afternoon. The lead investigator with the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains, Eamonn Henry, says he's confident that the remains of Columba McVeigh are in Bragan Bog.
A fresh dig got underway last week at the Monaghan bog for the remains of the teenager; who was abducted, murdered and secretly buried by the IRA almost 50 years ago.
Furthermore, this is the seventh time Bragan bog's been searched for Columba McVeigh. Columba McVeigh's sister Dympna Kerr says she hopes the current search will uncover his remains. She spoke to Ronan Gargan earlier today at Bragan bog.
