Wicklow: Search Taking Place for Josephine "Jo Jo" Dullard and Deirdre Jacob
The Gardaí are conducting a multi-day forensic excavation near the Wicklow/Kildare border after receiving credible information about a buried container linked to the 1990s disappearances.
- On Monday, Gardaí commenced a search near the Wicklow/Kildare border linked to investigations into the disappearances of Jo Jo Dullard and Deirdre Jacob, both treated as murders.
- Sources say new information suggested something may have been buried at the site, including a container reportedly capable of holding human remains, prompting the investigation upgrade in 2020 and 2018.
- Specialist Garda teams are conducting a sealed-off excavation with drone restrictions, led by the Serious Crime Review Team and supported by the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation, Garda National Technical Bureau, and Kildare Division.
- Garda said the families of Josephine `Jo Jo` Dullard and Deirdre Jacob have been fully appraised, no arrests were made, and they appealed for information via the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
- Investigators note that the site is close to where Larry Murphy, the prime suspect in Deirdre Jacob's disappearance, lived, and Garda sources say the two disappearances are not believed connected.
