Gardaí are renewing an appeal for information in relation to an investigation into the murder of Linda Evans Christian in 2017. Today marks the 8th anniversary of the discovery of Linda’s body.
On Saturday 24th June 2017, at approximately 9:00am, Linda Evans Christian left the Ash Ward of James Connolly Memorial Hospital in Blanchardstown, Dublin, where she had been receiving treatment.
On Saturday 1st July 2017, her family reported her missing and on Monday 17th July 2017, her body was discovered at Coolmine Woods, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15.
Despite an extensive Garda investigation and a number of enquiries followed, including the arrest of a male in 2018, no one has been brought to justice for Linda’s murder.
Gardaí and Linda’s family are appealing for people to come forward to assist with the investigation.
An Garda Síochána would encourage anyone with any information regarding Linda’s disappearance and murder, no matter how insignificant it may seem, to make contact with the investigation team. Particularly, any person who may have information on Linda’s movements around Coolmine Woods at the time of her disappearance is asked to contact Gardaí.
With the passage of time, people may now feel more comfortable sharing information with Gardaí. An Garda Síochána would like to assure the public that they will treat anyone assisting the investigation in a sensitive manner.
Anyone with information in relation to this incident is asked to contact Blanchardstown Garda Station 01 666 7000, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
