The husband of missing Cork woman Tina Satchwell (45) said he would spend the first anniversary of her disappearance at the house they shared in Youghal as he reiterated his belief that his wife is still alive. He said that he had “a small sense of relief” that gardaí had not found Ms Satchwell’s body during a two-week search of Mitchel’s Wood in Castlemartyr which concluded on Friday. He paid tribute to everyone who supported the search and anyone who contacted gardaí with information. You couldn’t harm Tina without walking away without at least a few scratches on your face. She’s a fighter, she always was.”A Garda spokesman confirmed that “a number of items recovered during the course of the search at Mitchel’s Wood at Castlemartyr will now be examined to establish whether they are related to the disappearance of Tina Satchwell”.
