Scott's pub
Scott's pub was situated at 17 Upper George's Street in Dún Laoghaire.
Murray drank here with her friends before leaving at 11.20 p.m. That night, she was planning on walking home so that she could freshen up and change out of her work clothes. After that, she was going to meet up with a friend at a local nightclub called Paparazzi.
Corrig Avenue
A witness claimed that they saw a girl resembling Murray arguing with a man who had a "Noel Gallagher" style haircut.
This sighting reportedly occurred at the top of Corrig Avenue, near the junction with Corrig Road. At the time, it was 11.53 p.m., which would have been roughly 33 minutes after she left Scott's pub.
This location is situated along one of the possible routes that the teenager would have taken that night.
Paparazzi nightclub
Paparazzi nightclub was situated on Marine Road, which is just around the corner from Upper George's Street.
On the night of the murder, Murray was planning on meeting her friend at the nightclub. However, she was attacked before she made it home.
Interestingly, the authorities investigated a possible link between convicted murderer Graham Dwyer and the killing after they saw him referencing Murray's name in one of his text messages to Elaine O'Hara.
When Elaine expressed her doubts that he could get away with murder, he replied:
"I will. No one [was] ever caught for Raonaid Murray or [the] homeless woman in Phoenix Park."
Although the sketch does bear a resemblance to him and he was reportedly living in the area at the time, DNA evidence has since ruled him out.
