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.
