Disappeared.

The family of Crossmaglen man Charlie Armstrong who went missing in 1981 has been told his remains have been located.

Confirmation of the discovery of the bones of a male in County Monaghan came this afternoon.

The independent commission for the location of victims said this evening that it has notified the Armstrong family, the Garda, and the state pathologist in the Republic of Ireland.

Mr. Armstrong disappeared after leaving home for mass.

He hasn’t been seen since. Mystery surrounded his disappearance.

No one has accepted responsibility for his fate.
