Elizabeth Clarke, a 24-year-old mother of two from Navan, County Meath, was last seen in 2013. Her family reported her missing in January 2015. Despite extensive searches and investigations, there have been no confirmed sightings of her since her disappearance. In February 2025, Gardaí reclassified her case from a missing person investigation to a murder inquiry, citing the lack of “proof of life” over the past decade.

Recent Developments in Elizabeth Clarke Murder Investigation

In early February 2025, Gardaí conducted a four-day search at an unoccupied house in Navan, based on new information suggesting that Elizabeth may have been murdered and buried there. The search involved forensic teams, including a forensic archaeologist, and utilized equipment such as diggers and drones to meticulously examine the property. Personal items were recovered during the search and are currently being analyzed for evidential value.
