GARDAI are probing if missing woman Giedre Raguckaite was targeted by a human trafficking gang, the Irish Sun on Sunday can reveal.

And investigators here have also contacted authorities in Lithuania in a bid to establish if the 29-year-old has accessed her bank account since her disappearance.

Officers have also established that Giedre had no account in Ireland and are also trying to track down her pals in the Eastern European country.

Giedre was last seen at a property in Dundalk, Co Louth, on May 26. Although she contacted her dad on the same day, she has not contacted any family or friends since then.

Interpol are also involved in the probe and are working closely with the Gardai to establish if she travelled overseas after her last sighting in Ireland.

The missing woman moved to Ireland in March and was set to return to the UK. She has no other relatives living here.

A source said: “All avenues are being explored in the investigation including the possibility that she may have been targeted by a gang involved in human trafficking.

“The case is still being treated as a missing persons investigation but as the time goes on, concerns are growing for her safety and wellbeing.

“Gardai have been in contact with the Lithuanian authorities but they have yet to send information back relating to the woman’s bank account.

Since the last sighting of her at a house in Dundalk there have been no sightings of her and it’s important for people to come forward with any information.”

There must be someone who knows what happened and I’m not afraid to speak out. She used to be on social media but since her disappearance it has gone quiet Gedvile Hibner's pal

The missing woman’s close pal, Gedvile Hibner, also urged anyone with information on the missing woman to come forward.

She said: “We were classmates from childhood and she was such a lovely person. If anyone has any information on where she is, can they let the Gardai know.

"There must be someone who knows what happened and I’m not afraid to speak out. She used to be on social media but since her disappearance it has gone quiet.

“She was always happy and we hope she will pick up the phone some day and tell us she’s OK.”

Her family also made an appeal for information, adding: “We have been crying every night. She used to disappear but not for such a long time. We are doing everything we can to find her.

"We hope she will try and contact us or let us know that she’s OK.”

We also spoke to another woman who was one of the last people to see the missing woman alive but she did not want to reveal her identity.

She added: “I have spoken to the Gardai. I don’t want my name out there because I have a family and I am worried.”

As part of their investigation, detectives are also speaking to members of the Lithuanian community living along the border.

Anyone who has seen Giedre or who may have any info is asked to contact officers at Dundalk Garda Station on 042 938 8400.
