The mysterious disappearances of Deirdre Jacob and Jo Jo Dullard

The primary focus of the gardaí’s search is Deirdre Jacob (left) after evidence came to light of “suspicious activity” occurring on the site on the evening of her disappearance. However, Josephine ‘JoJo’ Dullard (right) was last seen at a location that was a 10-minute drive from the site currently being searched. 

Known as the “vanishing triangle”, nothing has confounded the Irish public quite as much as the inexplicable disappearances of young women in the Leinster area in the 1990s.

Despite several high-profile searches by the gardaí, nobody has ever found definitive answers around what happened to the eight women who disappeared in the east of the country in that decade. Now, renewed attention has been put on the women, as gardaí begin a methodical search of a woodland area in Kildare.
