Portadown teenager Marian Beattie was just 18 years old when she was murdered. 

She had gone to a dance in the company of her brother and best friend near the Co. Tyrone village of Aughnacloy in 1973. 

She left in the company of a young man and was never seen alive again. 

The Police Ombudsman found failings in how her killing was investigated by the RUC.
