A garda search resumed this morning for the remains of Co Tyrone girl Arlene Arkinson, who was last seen 30 years ago.
RTÉ News understands the search, which began yesterday, will continue at Ballybobaneen Forest in the Glenfin area.
Glenfin is around 12km northwest of Ballybofey.
This is the second garda search for the remains of Arlene this year in Co Donegal. Another search took place in the Castlefin area earlier in the year.
The Arkinson family and their legal representative have agreed not to speak about the specifics of the searches for now for operational reasons.
Arlene was aged 15 when she went missing after a night out at a disco in Bundoran on 13 August 1994.
The teenager from Castlederg, Co Tyrone, was last seen in a car driven by convicted murderer and rapist Robert Howard. Her body has never been found, despite extensive searches.
A 14-year inquest into the death of the teenager that ended in July 2021 found that on the balance of probabilities Howard was responsible for the death of Arlene.
Coroner Brian Sherrard noted: "Robert Howard, a violent sexual offender, and the last person to be seen with Arlene in the early hours of 14 August 1994, was responsible for her death."
Howard was charged with Arlene's murder in 2002 but acquitted in 2005.
At that vigil, Arlene's sisters Kathleen and Paula Arkinson reiterated their calls for a public inquiry into the handling of their sister's case.
Fr Paul Fraser, who led that memorial vigil, said that Arlene's memory "lives on in all of those who knew and loved her" and that "the search for truth and justice" must continue.
