He couldn't have not gone back and see did she show up at the caravan or see did she show up at the pub.

So honestly, I'd say we were there till it started to get dark and then we would have come back to Dublin, back to the house.

Some people were waiting for her to see would she show up.

We waited up all night.

The next morning was Monday, August 30th, 1976.

Elizabeth had now been missing for about 36 hours.

The Monday came, that's the panic then and that's when Mam said, I'm going to look for my child.

She did go with my dad.

We went over the dunes, I could see her walking around the dunes and looking in the grass and looking for any sign of her.

Elizabeth's two brothers, Eddie and Thomas, were living down in County Cork.

My brother Thomas and I were lobster fishermen out of Cove.

That fateful phone call to say that Elizabeth is missing.

Thomas and I jumped in the car, drove to Dublin.

It was only then that we realised that the...

chaos.

Bernie told me that from the minute my mother got word she said problems.

We didn't.

We were going up to sort it out.

Down in Wicklow, local gardener Nicky Crennan had heard about some strange behaviour in British Bay.
