The body of the 54-year-old from Killeenreendowney Avenue in Ballyphehane was found in Shippool in Innishannon on June 12, 1981 — almost a week after she disappeared.
She was last seen alive on June 6 outside the South Infirmary Hospital in Cork city.
A man was charged with her murder in the weeks after the discovery of her body.
However, a nolle prosequi was entered by the State in the case after the death of the pathologist who had carried out the post mortem on Mrs Sheehan’s body.
