Gardaí investigating the discovery of human remains near Midleton in East Cork are exploring the possibility they may be those of an elderly woman which were exhumed illegally and dumped. Supt Gamble also confirmed that the remains are not those of Tina Satchwell (47) missing from her home in Youghal since March 2017. He also told a press briefing that gardaí have found no DNA matches between the remains and women on the Garda missing persons data base. Gardaí believe the remains were left at the site sometime within the last ten years, he added.
