Nolan disappeared on November 10th, 1999, just days before he was due in Waterford Circuit Court to face charges relating to the possession of thousands of euro worth of cannabis and ecstasy for sale or supply.

However, a murder inquiry did not get under way until July 2000 when a body was discovered at Clondonnell, a wooded area in the Comeragh Mountains, about five miles from the village of Rathgormack.
