Dilys, also known as Dee Dee, disappeared in March 1986. She was living in Hackney and was last seen in Stoke Newington. She may have been using the surname ‘Crawford’. Dilys’s 4 children were residents at Shirley Oaks children’s home after Dilys lost custody. Their mum is known to have been arrested after smashing the windows when she discovered that the children were being sexually abused. The Donnelly children have appealed for information regarding their mother but have, so far, had no luck. Dilys is 5ft 2in, white with dark-coloured hair and green eyes. She has a dark green shamrock tattoo on her arm and a scar on her nose.
