Mrs. O'Donoghue's car was discovered in Ballyshannon in the south of the county.

Speaking on RTE's Ray D’Arcy Show on Thursday, Mrs. O'Donoghue's family said they were "bamboozled" by her disappearance and described a text message sent by Mrs. O'Donoghue as "unusual".

The Donegal Mountain Rescue Team, which was drafted in to assist with the search for Mrs. O'Donoghue, confirmed the search had been stood down on Thursday evening.
