Its part of the investigation in to the disappearance and murder of Deirdre Jacob.
A third day of searching in woodland in Usk Little, as part of the investigation in to the disappearance and murder of Deirdre Jacob, begins this morning.
Gardai began a painstaking search of the lands on Monday, following an analysis of information shared with them as part of the cold case review.
The site is 15 kilometres away from where the 18 year old student teacher was seen in Newbridge.
Deirdre went missing on the afternoon of July 28th, 1998.
Her case was upgraded to a murder inquiry a few years ago.
Gardai are also hoping the search could progress the investigation into other women who disappeared in Leinster like that of 21 year old Jo Jo Dullard.

Several specialist units, including teams from the Garda Technical Bureau, Forensic Science Ireland, the garda dog unit and a forensic archaeologist, are taking part in the operation, which is expected to last 20 days.
