30-year-old Arlene Arkinson's sister calls for a public inquiry into the handling of her 1994 murder case.

30 years after Arlene Arkinson's disappearance, her sister Kathleen Arkinson calls for a public inquiry into the handling of the case. Arlene, 15, went missing in 1994 and was later confirmed to be murdered by Robert Howard, who was acquitted in 2005. Despite extensive searches, her body has never been found. The family's solicitor believes new information may be uncovered in a public inquiry, which could shed light on the legal system's handling of the case. Justice Minister Naomi Long has stated there are not sufficient grounds for a public inquiry.
