    I have no memory of this case for some reason. There's no mention of the husband in any of the reports I've read. Anyone know if he's still alive ?

    Yes, alive and living in Kilkenny.

    With no mention of the husband by the brother and sister doing the media work, reading between the lines he must be a person of interest in the case.

    Considering her body was found in a ditch two months after she disappeared and its 34 years since her death you'd wonder what forensic DNA evidence they'd be hoping to find at this stage?

    I think the husband was the last person to see her alive.

    That's what I was thinking all is left now is bones. Can DNA be got from bones.

    slim odds if he's been exhumed.

    wtf are you on about, did you read the article:

    "The remains of a woman who was murdered more than 30 years ago have been reinterred in a graveyard in Co Kilkenny following an examination at University Hospital Waterford."

    The only possibility I can think of is that they might be looking for traces of DNA of her killer under her fingernails.

    A forensics officer (talking about a different case) said you can do the job today with a thimble full of DNA compared to a pint full twenty years ago. So perhaps, they feel they can lift something off the body and finally give this woman the justice she deserves.

    Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue
