Today marks 29 years since Imelda Keenan went missing.

At the time of her disappearance, the then 22-year-old lived on Williams Street in Waterford, with her boyfriend. Shortly before her disappearance, she had completed a college course on Parnell Street and had moved in with her boyfriend.

At approximately 1.30pm on January 3, 1994, she left their apartment and told her boyfriend that she was going to the post office.

The last reported sighting of Imelda was near the Tower Hotel on the morning on January 3, 1994.

Originally from Mountmellick in Co. Laois, Imelda has not been seen since.

Speaking to WLR, her brother Gerry says he believes someone knows something.

He said: "There are two or three people in Waterford who are holding back vital information. It's hurting us so badly, it has really taken its toll.  We don't think anything bad happened to her, we don't think this was suicide or that she is in the river, the Keenan family thinks they have found that there are two or three people who are keeping information."

Gerry has urged people to contact Waterford Garda Station on 051 305 300 or phone the confidential line on 1800 666 111.
