He was a young boy in 1976 and here's his memory in full.
Further on down the Wicklow coast lies the town of Arklow and a woman got in touch to tell us about an incident she vividly remembers from late summer 1976.
Moving back up the Wicklow Coast, we're nearing British Bay, and that's where our next witness, Julie, was when she and her cousin had an interaction with two men in late August 1976, who they believe were John Shaw and Geoffrey Evans.
Myself and my cousin, we got the bus down to Wicklow and we had this mobile home my family had in a field just off south of Wicklow on the road to the lighthouse there.
And it was like there was nobody within, no houses, nothing.
It was a very isolated spot.
We walked from our show up there and got into the place and we were just sort of cleaning up.
It was a bit dusty.
I think a bird had got in the window and broke, you know, broke some broken glass and things.
We were cleaning up.
And the next thing, this white van, a small white van came up and pulled us outside the gate, which was close to where the...
the mobile home was there were two english guys and um they wanted to come in and have tea with us so we um said no no we don't have any tea there's nothing here they hung around there for a bit just they were standing up on the on the gate and chatting away to us and i can't remember more but i just remember them saying that they'd go down to the shops and get some
milk tea and biscuits but you know we knew my brother-in-law he was taking my sister and the two aunts and the dog down with them you know they were coming along later so the guys said to us a definite English accent said to us well can we come in you know for the tea and we said no and they were you know trying to get us to
you know invite them in so eventually they said they'd go down and get tea and sugar and biscuits and whatever and they'd be back so thankfully they didn't come back then but that night we used to always go down to Tofers the disco down in Versus Bay we went off there and leaving the two aunts and the dog in the mobile home and then around I think it was around midnight a car a van came into the field
started circling the caravan and shouting and banging on the door and wanted to come in and I think the dog went berserk and my aunts you know were shouting at the window so I think when they realized it wasn't the two girls in I think I was only 22 and Anne was about 18 at the time they left then and
And we were talking to my father, he had a friend, he was an inspector in the guards and we were talking to him about it.
And we just sort of thought, like, I wonder, two English guys and this.
So we asked him and he said, yes, it's more than likely them because they were in the area at the time.
We're now on the night of Saturday, August 28th, 1976.
The night Elizabeth Plunkett was last seen alive.
