Missing Mary Boyle
THE TWIN sister of missing Mary Boyle is to travel to Washington next week in a bid to have the investigation into the case expanded.
Ann Doherty will meet members of the US Congress including Congressman Brendan Boyle whose father is from Glencolmcille.
Ann says her sister Mary, who was just six, was sexually assaulted and murdered when she went missing from her grandparents’ home in 1977.
“The key purpose of this trip is to open Irish-America’s eyes and those of the US authorities to the widescale corruption in the Irish police and the criminal justice system,” Ms Doherty said in a statement.
“For most of my adult life I have known who murdered Mary.
“He is walking around Donegal today, immune from prosecution.”
Ms Doherty will travel to Washington with journalist Gemma O’Doherty, who has been investigating the case.
Ms Doherty has already travelled to Westminster and Brussels to discuss her sister’s disappearance with officials there, and met Taoiseach Enda Kenny last November to outline her concerns.
The Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission is conducting an investigation into the garda case on foot of complaints.
