She was seen leaving the event at around 1am in the company of a man but she was found dead in the early hours of the following morning at the bottom of a quarry. A murder investigation was launched but the person responsible has never been found.

The case recently featured in a cold case documentary.

Several years ago, a man was questioned by police about the case after presenting himself for interview at a PSNI station. But no one has ever been charged with the young women's killing.
