AN URGENT appeal has been launched for a missing Louth teenager who hasn’t been seen in days.
Mary Ward, 15, was reported missing from Dundalk since Wednesday, January, 22, 2025.
Gardai are seeking the public’s help in locating the 15-year-old.
Mary is described as being around 5’ 7” in height with a slim build and long brown hair.
But it’s unknown what the teen was wearing when last seen.
Her family and cops are “concerned for her wellbeing”.
Gardai are now asking anyone who has seen Mary or knows where she may be to get in touch with Dundalk Garda Station.
A garda spokesperson said: “Gardai are seeking the public’s assistance in tracing the whereabouts of 15-year-old Mary Ward who is reported missing from Dundalk, Co. Louth, since the evening of Wednesday, 22nd January, 2025.
“Mary was last seen at approximately 8pm on the Dublin Road, Dundalk.
“She is described as being approximately 5’ 7” in height with a slim build and long brown hair.
“It is unknown what Mary was wearing when last seen.
“Gardai and Mary’s family are concerned for her wellbeing.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact Dundalk Garda Station on 042 938 8400, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.”
Separately, gardai have issued an appeal for a missing Cork student who hasn’t contacted family since last year.
Hanni Binti Hanif, 25, was reported missing in Cork City last Sunday – and her family are “concerned for wellbeing”.
Cops are seeking the public’s help in locating the 25-year-old who was last in contact with her family in Malaysia in December 2024.
Her family have not heard from her since then and there has been no other forms of communication made by Hanni.
This has left her family deeply “concerned for her wellbeing”, and prompted Gardai to launch an investigation into her whereabouts.
Originally from Malaysia, Hanni is described as being around 5 feet 4 inches tall, with a medium build, black hair and brown eyes.
She is a pupil at Griffith College Cork, and her last known address is in Cork city.
And authorities are hoping someone in the public may have information that could help track her down.
Gardai are now asking anyone who has seen Hanni or knows where she may be to get in touch with Anglesea Street Garda Station in Cork city.
