Sligo is a small coastal seaport in County Sligo in North West Ireland. it’s known for its literary heritage and beautiful rugged countryside.
Sligo County Museum displays memorabilia of local poet W.B. Yeats, paintings and Stone Age artefacts.
It lies along Sligo Bay and the River Garavogue, between Lough Gill and the sea. Sligo’s Roman Catholic cathedral serves the Diocese of Elphin, and there is a Church of Ireland cathedral. Sligo has ruins of a castle and friary dating from the 13th century.
The award-winning beach at Rosses Point, 8km from Sligo, offers visitors a long stretch of clean, fine sand backed by low grassy dunes.
The bay is popular with windsurfers and other water-sports enthusiasts, and in summer the beach is an excellent choice for family excursions. But is it also somewhere you’d come to end your life?
Could that be what the plan was for an unknown man in June 2009? Did he choose that beach as his final place? Why is no one missing him? And why don’t we know who he is?
This is Crimepedia, but who is Peter Bergmann?
