A man who was arrested yesterday by gardaí investigating the disappearance of a Lithuanian woman over three years ago has been released without charge.
Giedre Raguckaite, 29, was living in Dundalk, Co Louth, at the time of her disappearance, after arriving in Ireland in March 2018.
She was last seen alive at a house in Laytown, Co Meath, on 29 May 2018.
Ms Raguckaite moved to Dundalk in April 2018 and had applied for a Personal Public Service (PPS) number to work in Ireland.
She moved out of her accommodation on 24 May and between then and 29 May there were two sightings of her in Dundalk.
Detectives have established that she was last seen alive at a house at the Beach Grove estate in Laytown on 29 May.
It is understood she was accompanied into the house by two men at around 11pm that night. It is believed she was then taken from the house a few hours later, at around 1.45am, by two Lithuanian men.
Gardaí have interviewed a number of people in connection with her disappearance, including the two men she was last seen with.
Gardaí have launched a murder investigation but they still do not know where Ms Raguckaite's body is or how she died.
In 2018 they carried out a search of a house in Laytown as part of the investigation.
Detectives made an arrest yesterday morning and the man was questioned at a garda station in the midlands.
He has now been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
