Ms Valdez, a 24-year-old student from the Philippines, had come to Ireland three years ago. DNA samples were also gathered during the investigation into the murder of Raonaid Murray (17) in Glenageary, south Dublin, in 1999. PanickedGarda sources said what appears to be the sexually motivated abduction of Ms Valdez was highly unlikely to be a first-time violent offence. Ms Valdez lived in Enniskerry, studied accountancy in Tallaght IT and worked part-time in a Bray restaurant. The Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission is investigating, with one line of inquiry that Hennessy ran at gardaí with a knife.
