Fiona Pender was seven and a half months pregnant when she was last seen.

Today marks the 27th anniversary of the disappearance of an Offaly woman. 

Fiona Pender was last seen in the early hours of Friday 23rd of August 1996.

Since her disappearace an extensive Garda investigation has been undertaken and a large number of searches being conducted in surrounding areas but Gardai say there's been no trace of the part time model found.

While arrests were made in relation to this case, no charges were ever brought. 

The then 25-year-old was living at Church Street, Tullamore and was seven and a half months pregnant, when she was seen. 

She is described as 5'5 with long blonde hair and was last seen wearing bright coloured clothing and white leggings.

Her mum Josephine, who passed away in 2017, had campaign tirelessly for information about the whereabouts of her only daughter, after losing her husband in 2000 and her son Mark a year before Fiona went missing. 

Gardaí are appealing to anyone that met, saw or has any information to please come forward and they are asking anyone who may have previously come forward who felt they could not provide Gardaí with all the information they had to get in touch again.

They say it doesn't matter how small or insignificant you might believe it to be, you can get in touch with them at any Garda Station or on the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
