Gardaí investigating the discovery of a body of a woman in her 50s near Athlone on Monday afternoon have seized two cars for examination. Officers launched the probe after a body was uncovered on lands at Curraghaleen, Co Roscommon on Monday afternoon, December 30. The local Coroner has been notified and the woman's body has been removed to the mortuary at University Hospital Galway for a post-mortem examination by the Deputy State Pathologist.
Gardaí initially launched an appeal for help tracing the whereabouts of 58-year-old Mirjana Pap after she was reported missing from her home in Athlone on Saturday, 28 December. She was last seen in Athlone in the early hours of Saturday morning. On Monday afternoon, following the discovery of a woman’s body, Gardaí stood down the appeal. A senior investigating officer (SIO) has been appointed to lead the investigation and an incident room has been established at Athlone Garda Station. A family liaison officer (FLO) has also been assigned to provide support to the family. Examinations are currently underway at the scene and at a residential property in Athlone by the Garda Technical Bureau. Two cars have also been seized for examination. Investigations are ongoing, and Gardaí have appealed for anyone with information on her whereabouts to contact authorities. A Garda spokesperson said: “Gardaí in Athlone are investigating all of the circumstances surrounding the death of a woman in her 50s following the discovery of a body on lands at Curraghaleen, Co. Roscommon (near Athlone) on Monday afternoon”. They added: “Anyone with any information is asked to contact Athlone Garda Station on 090 649 8550, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
