And my mum being, I don't know whether it's mother instinct, but immediately...

She said, well, why wouldn't she be able to make her way home from Wicklow?

This young one had been all around, like she knew her stuff, like there'd be nothing to stop her from getting from A to B. And my ma said, my Elizabeth's dead, otherwise she'd be here.

And we were all going, but she just knew.

And of course my dad was going mad, saying you can't be saying that.

And she said, I'm telling you.

It was less than 24 hours since Elizabeth had last been seen alive.

But everyone who knew her, including her dad Tommy, knew this was not right.

My father said immediately, reporter missing.

So Bernie and Damon went to the nearest Garda station, Irish Town.

There was one Garda there, but they said she was over 21.

And it hadn't been 24 hours.

And we said, no, but she would not do that.

She would never do that.

She would never stay out and have us worried like this.

So they said, we'll come back.

I think it was the following day before it would be official.

While the local Gardaí said they couldn't do much about the case, Bernie and Damien knew there was no way that they could just leave it at that.

Damien was agitated.

He couldn't have sat around.
