PSNI Renews Appeal in 1973 Marian Beattie Murder on 53rd Anniversary

Detectives say community recollections could finally give her family answers.

Overview

  • The PSNI Legacy Investigation Branch, which issued the appeal Tuesday, said the effort aims to give her family answers.
  • Beattie, 18, was last seen leaving a charity dance at Hadden's Garage just after 1am with a young man, walking toward Hadden's Quarry near Aughnacloy.
  • Detectives say they do not know what happened after she left the venue, and her body was found at the bottom of the quarry early the next morning.
  • The appeal seeks anyone who recalls who she spoke with, who she left with, or anyone who returned home from the dance distressed or with dirt on their clothes.
  • People can share tips by calling 101, using the PSNI online reporting form, or contacting Crimestoppers anonymously.
