  • Gardaí probe new information in Philip Cairns disappearance in Rathfarnham Disappearance · Co. Dublin

    Philip Cairns, aged 13, disappeared on the afternoon of 23 October 1986 while walking from his home on Ballyroan Road to his school Coláiste Éanna in Rathfarnham, Dublin 16. He left school at 12.50pm, walked home, then left at 1.30pm to return to school and was never seen again. Six days later his schoolbag was found in a laneway near the school with some books missing. A woman told gardaí she saw Eamon Cooke hit Philip with an implement. The case remains under active Garda investigation, with over 1,600 lines of inquiry followed, and Gardaí are now examining new information following recent media attention on the 40th anniversary.
