Caroline went missing from her Portadown home in 1989. PSNI Press Office

23 years on: search for Caroline Graham continues

The Newry woman disappeared when she was 19 years old.

DETECTIVES IN NORTHERN Ireland investigating the murder of Caroline Graham over 23 years ago have widened the scope of their search operation which began in Portadown earlier this week.

The Serious Crime Branch team has moved the search into part of a house in Carleton Street, close to the waste ground which is also being cleared, probed and scanned for indications of human remains.

Caroline was 19 years old when she went missing in April 1989. Although originally from Newry, she had been living with her boyfriend in Hanover Street in Portadown for about two years.

Nobody has ever been charged in connection with her disappearance and the case was reopened in August when the PSNI said it had received new information, including a possible location of her remains.

Police say their enquiries are continuing. Anyone with any information about the teenager’s murder is asked to contact the PSNI on 0845 600 8000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

    I’m currently in Shanghai. Schools are closed and online learning begins tomorrow. Hearing rumours that sitting in in restaurants is being suspended. There’s a minimal upsurge in apartment buildings being closed and residents being quarantined. All issues are protective. All in all, it’s grand.

    Well let’s just hope this isn’t a strong variant & if it dies steady that we have learned and will protect the old and the vulnerable. If you feel any symptoms take a test and if you have covid you isolate.
    With so many vaccinated it will bearly even affect people that much hopefully.
    So yea hopefully we’ve learned over the last 2 years, no need for restrictions, lockdowns, masks!!!!
    Think peoples appetite for all that again won’t be great!

    I’m hoping our own current surge, is just the side effect of the lastest lifting of restrictions, and not the new varient that I’ve been reading abiut the last couple of days. (Funny how the Journal has not reported on it when Cork Beo was reporting on what Luke O’Neill said about it yesterday) Regardless, If people can maybe keep their wits about them, keeping in mind the likes of hand hygeine and watch what direction they are coughing in when the could not be arsed covering they’re mouths, or maybe voluntarily put on the mask, we can nip this surge in the bud. None of us want to go back where we were the last couple years.
