Gardai are renewing their appeal for information on the cold case murder of a mother of two from Clondalkin. Antoinette Smith disappeared after a David Bowie concert in Slane 36 years ago.
The 27 year old went to a David Bowie concert in Slane with her friend on this day in 1987. They returned by bus to Parnell Square in Dublin and went to the nightclub, La Mirage
There, they met two men they knew and they all left shortly after 2am. Antoinette’s friend parted company when they left the club.
Antoinette remained for some time and spoke to the two men until all three walked the short distance to the taxi rank on O’Connell Street. The men got a taxi to the Ballymun area, while Antoinette continued to walk by the Gresham Hotel on O’Connell Street towards O’Connell Street Bridge.
Antoinette was subsequently reported missing to Gardaí by her husband. She remained missing for nine months until her remains were discovered on Glendoo Mountain.
Now 36 years later gardai are asking anyone who may have information to come forward.
They say relationships may have changed with the passage of time and any information will be treated in a sensitive manner.
Antoinette was a mother of two young children, Lisa who was only seven years old and Rachel who was four years old at the time of their mother’s disappearance.
Anyone with information can contact Gardaí in Bray at 01 666 5300, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
