The 27-year-old mother of two’s stays were found nine months later in a drain on the Glendoo Mountain in Co Wicklow.
After the gig, Antoinette and her friend returned to Dublin by bus, arriving in Parnell Square at around 11pm, and went to the nearby La Mirage Discotheque.

Her friend parted company with the opposite three after they left the club while Antoinette and the 2 men remained for a while before all three walked a brief distance to a taxi rank on O’Connell Street.
Gardaí said the lads got a taxi to the Ballymun area while Ms Smith continued to walk by the Gresham Hotel on O’Connell Street towards O’Connell Street Bridge.
She was subsequently reported missing by her husband.
Antoinette’s children Lisa and Rachel were aged seven and 4 respectively when their mother disappeared 39 years ago.
Gardaí at Bray Garda Station have used the anniversary to renew their appeal to the general public for assistance.
They encouraged anyone with information to return forward, as they said that relationships and associations people can have had a long time ago could now have modified.
Gardaí said they’d treat anyone assisting the investigation in a ‘sensitive’ manner.
