Today marks 18 years since Kildare woman Deirdre Jacob disappeared.
Deirdre was a trainee teacher from Newbridge, and had returned home from London for the summer.
The then 18-year-old went missing shortly after 3.00pm on the afternoon of July 28th, 1998.
She had been visiting her grandmother a short distance from her home.
She was last seen walking along the Barretstown Road in Roseberry - from the Newbridge direction.
On that day, Deirdre was carrying a black canvas bag with the yellow Caterpillar logo (CAT) on it.
This bag has never been found.
