So she's been seen? And has nobody contacted her relatives to say she's rambling from Town to Glasnevin to Finglas???

Is this the only thread on boards? I'm surprised that there isn't more interest in the case. Horrible to think that she may have spent the night outside. It wasn't overly cold, but it was wet and she is old. Hopefully her dog will help mind her.

Any boardsies living /travelling near the back of the airport?
Maybe some of the plane spotters could be mobilised to search today? They're close by, have spare time and some have binoculars.

It might be worth posting a pic of the breed of dog, a black and white King Charles cavalier. I think the dog is the key to finding her, hopefully safe and well.

I'm not on faceboom but this evening I'm at loose end and would like to help in searching for Peggy. Can somebody get in touch with me via pm and give me details. Thanks.

How can you tell the difference between rambling and walking and how do you know the people knew the relatives.

I hope they find her. It must be a terrible worry for the relatives.

Hi Rise To Me, any help is highly appreciated. See update below for yourself and anyone that can help with the search:

Thanks to everyone that has turned out this morning to join the search for Peggy. There have again been a number of reported sightings throughout the night mainly in the Finglas Area. Please keep sharing and looking for Peggy. Just to recap - Left Mount Tallant at 11am on Tuesday. Was seen at 12 in Clanbrassil Street and then at 3pm in Clarevillr Grove across from Glasnevin Cemetary. There was then a sighting across from the Topaz between Glasnevin and Finglas at 18:52. She has a Calvalier King CHarles Dog with her. Please be vigilant and say hello to Peggy if you see her and phone us immediately either on 016666400 or 080831030755 or 0857421495 or 0863791592. Again, she is wearing black bottoms and a white fleece top with a hood on it. The dogs name is Casper.

We are searching continuously and have not stopped since she went missing. At the moment, the base for all the teams that are out and about is in DID Electrical shop in Finglas, so doesn't matter if it is early, midday or this evening. Thanks.

Just as an aside ........... could a King Charles walk that far without it's paws getting sore? It would seem strange that she could walk all the way to Finglas without a bus driver or Garda noticing her (as these are more aware of missing persons due to posters in their work places).
Whatever, I hope she is found safe, well and not too distressed. Same for the poor pooch.

Justask

We've be out hanging up and handing out flyers for most of today and the most frequent thing said is to get a photo of Casper out asap in case he got away from her.
Just thought I'd put the idea out there.
I sincerely hope and pray they are both home by tonight.
We will continue looking and getting the flyers up and out there.

Use your common sense. Whoever saw her in these places wouldn't have known she was going to walk all the way from town to Finglas or that she was a lady with Alzheimers who was missing. They saw a lady walking a dog. Amazing how people bleat about what people should have done after the fact, as if people have superpowers.

I've shared the info with all my friends in Dublin. Hope she is found safe and well soon.

Stheno

Fingers crossed she is found safe and well.

Missyelliot2

Have been thinking of this lady since I heard her granddaughter on Ryan Tubridy yesterday. Really hope she's well and returns home soon.

Why would people report seeing her if they didn't know she was missing?

I don't just see a woman walking to the shops and call RTE telling them I've seen her, whoever she may be.

Unless the sightings were CCTV and not eyewitnesses.

I see someone who's missing....first thing I do is call the Gardai, tell them the situation and then keep an eye on the missing person until the police quietly arrive.

Samhain

Her son was on Radio 1 this afternoon. He said if someone sees her, the best thing to do is approach her and try to talk to her and maybe get her something to eat or drink to keep her mind occupied, then obviously alert the authorities.
He said she is a very friendly outgoing person and would be inclined to talk to strangers in normal life but due to the nature of her condition she may be disorientated.
I cant stop thinking about the case since i heard about it, I really hope she is found safe. My own mother has the same condition and i couldnt bear to think of her out there alone and frightened.

it would be a case of her picture being published and people then calling saying I saw her.

RTE report Garda Helicopter joins the search

I heard Peggy's grand daughter on Tubridy this morning and she said that they really need people to ring as soon as they see her. Apparently it's only when people saw the news and the appeals that they realised the person they saw earlier during the day was Peggy. Judging by the CCTV footage on RTE last night, Peggy does not look like an older woman. She appears very slight in build and with her hood up she could easily be mistaken for a much younger person. If everyone just kept an eye out or asked family members who drive for a living to watch out for Peggy and her dog I am sure she will be found and returned home to her family. Hopefully that will be very soon.

Justask

Kids are more inclined to notice a dog before they would notice a person so getting Caspers picture out would help.
Kids could be playing in fields and parks.
Worth a shot

Missyelliot2

Her granddaughter said she's only 5'2'' and of a slight build. She spoke to some cameramen (who were filming 'Fair City') and at the time, they didn't feel she was distressed or upset. Also, she had no phone/id with her.
Praying for her safe return

Marje

Picture of the dog Casper from facebook - posted on D.I.D Electrical homepage https://www.facebook.com/didelectrical who are helping to locate Peggy.

Hoping she will be found soon, safe and well.

gordongekko

Its horrible to see the darkness rolling in again tonight without her being found. Please god she is found soon.

Any update?

Someone who had shared this on FB received a comment from another person whose relative had Alzheimers. Seemingly affected people who go walkabout are often trying to return to a previous residence or neighbourhood. Was Peggy brought up near Finglas or did she live there for a while? That might help zero in on where she's likely to be.

I did hear that people with Alzheimers often have very healthy long term memory - and they often try to return 'home' ie where they grew up.

Written on DID Electrical facebook page earlier -

she originally from Cork and has no contacts on the northside and no access to money, had nothing with her other than the dog

AlanS181824

Really hope she's found, poor thing. Prayers are with her family..

January

Apparently her dog has been sighted around St. Michael's School in Finglas (close to the N2/Finglas Road). There's a cemetery in behind the school. I can't go out to search right now but hopefully there are people out.

Because they didn't know she was missing at the time! People see photos and it jogs their memory. I see hundreds of people every day and quickly forget about most of them, but if I were to turn on the news and see one of them on there, I may well think 'oh, she looks just like the girl I saw on the train earlier'.

Any update,hope she is found soon

Autumn Moon

Can't see anything as yet. There is a volunteers search meeting in a few minutes (10.00) at D.I.D. Finglas. (Put up on Facebook)

Any update?

Autumn Moon

Still no sign..... Another search due to start shortly.

dubstarr

I seen a helicopter over Cabra going towards Finglas bout 12.30 today.It must have been looking for her.

heretochat

I believe that there was a lot of Garda activity on the old N2 this morning. A friend of mine works in the Roadstone Quarry and there were a lot of squad cars a bit up the road with Gardaí searching the fields around there.

Is that the one in Kinsealy? I grew up beside it, it's a fairly built up area now and the quarry is pretty secure-the field opposite it is very flat and you'd spot someone wandering around in there. It's a busy enough area, so chances are she'd have been spotted.

Really hope the poor lady is found safe soon, it's an awful long time for someone in a frail condition to be away from home.

heretochat

Coldwinters is the name of the place he said. Just off the M50 and past Finglas heading out the old North Road..

He was saying some gangster was found shot dead not too far from there a couple of years ago as well.. Pretty bleak and desolate area some of it.

Fiolina

Just back from search at Tolka Valley. Nothing found as far as I know. Lots of people taking part. Don't know why the army/civil defense are not involved. D.I.D. Finglas are being great acting as a HQ. Anyone please with a bit of free time get out and search for this lady. You can turn up there at anytime or click on their FB page for details. Thanks

The poor woman.
She must be exhausted, cold and hungry and I would imagine a bit frightened(although I hope not).
Please let her be found well before another night settles in around her.

Also, good on all the folks searching for her

Fiolina

Search tonight concentrated on Charlestown and surrounding industrial estates. Nothing so far. Please people - get out and help in the search for Peggy tomorow. Time is of the essence now.

Autumn Moon

Anybody wanting to join the search - there is a meet up at 10.00am tomorrow D.I.D Finglas (Clearwater).

People ( especially in the Finglas, Glasnevin, Phibsboro, areas ) are asked to check any outhouses, sheds, laneways etc where Peggy may seek shelter.

Still no news?

Can't help with search as I live in London, but thinking about Peggy and hoping she is safe!

hfallada

I know the Garda helicopter with the infrared red camera was over Glasnevin and Finglas looking for her.
