I was working on supervision at the Bruce Springsteen concert down in Nolan Park in Kilkenny.
And at that particular time I was the inspector in Carlow and the superintendent was off so I was acting superintendent essentially while he was on annual leave.
I received a telephone call from the Gardaí in Carlow and they confirmed that her father and two of his sons, Owen and Rory Chadda, hadn't returned from the local bowling club in Carlow.
I learned that Sanjeev had been interviewed by the local sergeant town in Bagnallstown in relation to the theft of a considerable amount of money.
Sanjeev had been gambling on the stock exchange and had lost a considerable amount of money and he was using this community fund to pay off his debt.
I did a port and airport alert.
I got onto the toll bridges and I communicated with all of the district and divisional guard stations in Ireland and gave a description saying how important it was that we establish where they were.
She called everyone she could think of and went following the money trail.
We decided in anticipation of running a cryo-lurch that we'd carry out extensive searches in the area of Ballin Killin, Bagnallstown, essentially searching areas where people might go, wooded areas, forestry, or access point to the Barrow River.
In Tesco, they found footage which showed the father and the two boys running around.
The two boys were in great form.
They were running to the various little desks and buying chocolate and sweets.
You'd imagine that was in anticipation of a picnic that they were going on.
And it all seemed good and it's quite frightening really to see that and then think about what happened within a few hours after that.
I wasn't going to be led by what I saw.
They were happy and they were content.
But the other circumstances in relation to the misappropriation of the funds, his actions in that the bowling club wasn't open, he had left the two phones of the little boys behind.
All of those conspired and gave me thought and maybe my sixth sense as a policeman, there was something wrong here.
Kathleen wasn't overly anxious and was of the opinion that he may have just taken the boys away to cool off.
She knew that he was quite upset about the whole situation, but wasn't anxious and didn't consider at any stage that he may have done them harm.
