Deirdre Jacob: 20 years on family issue a fresh appeal for information on her disappearance

The family of Deirdre Jacob has issued a fresh appeal for information 20 years on from her disappearance and has called for the setting-up of a dedicated missing persons unit.

Ms Jacob was just 18 years old when she went missing from Newbridge in Co Kildare on July 28, 1998. Folllowing a routine morning in which she visited the post office, the bank, and her grandmother’s house, she was just a 25-minute walk from her home when she vanished.
