Grandmother of Saoirse Smyth appeals for closure as searches continue
In an interview with UTV News, Vera Smyth told of how she raised Saoirse from the age of four following the death of her mother.
"It's unreal just thinking about it, I mean whoever killed her, have they no conscience?" she asked.
"Do they not think what they're putting their people through? And we have to go through this day in and day out wondering where she is, not knowing where she is.
"Was she shot, was she stabbed, was she strangled? You don't know what. And if her body's going to be found, what way is it going to be? You just don't know. Put a closure to this, please put a closure to it."
