Published: June 5, 2023, 5:33 p.m.

b'Tina Satchwell is an Irish woman who went missing under suspicious circumstances in 2017, in County Cork, Republic of Ireland.

Tina Satchwell is from St Bernard\'s Place in Fermoy, Cork. She lived with her husband for almost 28 years, Richard Satchwell, and their two dogs on Grattan Street in the seaside town of Youghal. The couple met when Tina was on a visit to the UK in 1989. Richard moved to Ireland within ten weeks of the pair meeting. Tina disappeared from her home on Monday 20th March 2017.

She was last seen in public at a car boot sale with her husband in the town of Carrigtwohill the previous day (Sunday) 19th March. Richard was the last person to see her around 10 am on the Monday morning. He stated that Tina asked him to go to an Aldi store in Dungarvan to buy fish and dog food, and when he return to their home on Grattan Street in Youghal two hours later, she was gone. He officially reported her missing on Friday 24th March four days after he had last seen her.

Tina was aged 45 at the time of her disappearance and the couple had been married for 26 years.

In subsequent interviews with police and the media, Richard, originally from the UK and having lived in Ireland for nearly 35 years, stated that his wife had been depressed and was troubled by some family disputes. His belief was that she had chosen to leave "to get her head straight" and go to family or friends in the UK.'
