Family of missing Wexford woman Fiona Sinnott say they will 'never give up' looking for her in new documentary

The family of a missing Irishwoman say they will "never give up" looking for her in poignant footage from a new documentary.

Mum-of-one Fiona Sinnott was 19 when she went missing 21 years ago and no trace of her has been found despite extensive searches.

She was last seen in the Broadway area of Co Wexford on February 8, 1998, at midnight.

A new TV documentary, which airs tonight, will provide new insight into her life and shocking disappearance from the small village of Ballyhitt.

In a clip of a search, one of Fiona's relatives admitted that her hopes of finding Fiona "do fade" but added that they would "never give up".

Brother of missing Wexford woman Fiona Sinnott says he cannot sleep at night 

She said: "We're still kinda holding on to a little bit of hope but after years and years, it does fade. But we will never give up."

Fiona's cousin Gina Sinnott added: "We've been here before, going out on searches and digs, nothing turned up and it's soul-destroying.

"You go in with the belief you're going to find her and you don't."

 

Another clip shows Fiona's family entering her old flat for the first time since she vanished.

"I actually physically see her there making a cup of tea", one of her heartbroken relatives said.

Missing: Fiona Sinnott: True Lives airs tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media One
