Summary
Mary was 6-year-old when she disappeared in March 1977, in the Republic if Ireland. Her case is the longest running missing-child case in Ireland, a mystery which triggered a huge search from the police, army, and hundreds of local volunteers. Mary was last seen walking towards her grandparents farm. But despite that massive land search, no sign of Mary, or where she went, was ever uncovered.
