## Resource

Fiona Pender was seven months pregnant and ready for her baby. On August 22, 1996, she went shopping for baby clothes with her mother and brother. It was a period of joy and nesting for the 25-year-old hairdresser and part-time model. According to her partner, John Thompson, Fiona was asleep the next morning when he left for work. He kissed her goodbye, left their flat on Church Street in Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland, and never saw her again. When friends and family couldn’t reach Fiona that day or the next, they panicked. There was no reason for Fiona to be out of touch with them. By the time she was reported missing, her loved ones feared the worst. Now, nearly 30 years later, there has still been no trace of Fiona or her child, but that doesn’t mean that Gardai or her family have given up. If you have any information about the disappearance and murder of Fiona Pender, please contact Tullamore Garda Station at 057 932 7600, or contact the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111.
