I hope the current search for Philip Cairns is conclusive

liaconn, I didn't hear any such things about the Cairns family (I was probably too young at the time) but yes, the McCanns have had a hard time of it.
I was about 15 at the time and live quite close to Ballyroan at the time, there was many stories the one that stick's out the most was that the family where part of a religious cult which was total nonsense.
 
Jeez. I wonder where some places get their stories. Do the neighbours or families report to the papers? How would they get that story out of the blue?
 
As far as I recall it was based on the fact that his mother went to Mass everyday or was part of a prayer group (like hundreds of other women of her age, but why let that get in the way of spreading some scandal).
 
I see they are digging again today, 50 yards from the other spot?

Hopefully this time they will find something.
