Mysterious note found at quarry

March 28, 1938

A mysterious incident unfolded in Kimmage when 16-year-old Kathleen Young of Devenish Road went missing on Friday. Her beret, accompanied by a note suggesting she had drowned herself, and wished ” goodbye”,  was found near the Kimmage Quarry, prompting Gardaí to drag the quarry in search of her. Surprisingly, Kathleen returned home the following day, collapsing into the arms of a neighbor. Despite being physically present, she remained unresponsive and in an unconscious state, unable to speak or recognize anyone. Her mother, Mrs. Young, expressed concern over her condition, while the community remained puzzled by the enigmatic events surrounding her disappearance and sudden return.
