Arlene Arkinson was 15 when she disappeared. Her body was never found.
At the end of an inquest into the disappearance of the 15-year-old on August 14, 1994 Coroner Brian Sherrard said on Wednesday that he believed the body of the Castlederg teenager was still in the jurisdiction.
Robert Lesarian Howard had been charged with Arlene Arkinson’s murder but was cleared by a jury, who were not told that he had previously been convicted of the murder and rape of a schoolgirl Hannah Williams in London. He died in prison in 2015 aged 71 while serving life.
In a lengthy judgement the Coroner outlined the details of Arlene Arkinson’s disappearance after she left her sister’s home to go to Bundoran with a friend and her boyfriend, as well as Robert Howard on the night of August 13 1994.
