New Search Underway as Gardaí Investigate Jo Jo Dullard & Deirdre Jacob Murders
Gardaí are acting on credible information about a suspicious burial as they search open ground and seek evidence in the cold-case investigations.
On Monday, Gardaí recommenced a search operation on open ground near the Wicklow and Kildare border investigating the disappearances of Josephine Jo Jo Dullard and Deirdre Jacob.
Following a technical ground survey completed last week with The Defence Forces, the Serious Crime Review Team began the operation to excavate and forensically examine the site.
Dullard, 21, went missing on November 9, 1995, while hitchhiking to Callan; Jacob, 18, was last seen near her home at Roseberry, Newbridge, on July 28, 1998.
Gardaí are keeping both families updated on the investigations and renewed appeals for information, directing people to contact Kildare Garda station or the Garda Confidential Line at 1800 666 111.
Investigators are acting on credible information regarding a suspicious burial at the site, possibly involving human remains in a vehicle from the late 1990s.
