Renewed Appeal - Lambay Island Skull - found 6/2/06.

Exhaustive enquiries have been carried out to identify these remains, but to no avail.

 

Gardaí are renewing their appeal for assistance in identifying a human skull that was recovered from the sea off Lambay Island on 6th February 2006.

The fishing vessel "Our Tracey" made the discovery.

Exhaustive enquiries have been carried out to identify these remains, but to no avail.

Facial reconstruction has been carried out on the skull by Dr. Caroline Wilkinson, a senior lecturer in Forensic Anthropology at Dundee University, Scotland, who specializes in this area.

Dr. Wilkinson made a 3D manual facial reconstruction and she believes the facial reconstruction will be a true likeness as the detail on the skull was good for the reconstruction to take place.

Images are available on request.

Any information as to the identification of this person, please, to the Garda Missing Persons Bureau on 01 666 2615, Gardaí at Balbriggan on 01 8020510, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
