Josephine 'Jo Jo' Dullard, 21, disappeared from Moone, Co. Kildare, on 9 November 1995 after phoning a friend from a phone box to say a car had stopped for her, and Deirdre Jacob, 18, a student teacher, vanished from outside her home in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, on 28 July 1998. Larry Murphy, 61, who served 10 years for the rape and attempted murder of a woman in Carlow in 2000, is the prime suspect for Jacob's murder. A man in his 50s was arrested on suspicion of Dullard's murder in November 2024 but released without charge. Gardaí conducted a 10-day excavation at Castleruddery Upper, Co. Wicklow, in February 2026 searching for a buried vehicle linked to Murphy, and concluded a second search at the same site in July 2026, with results withheld for operational reasons.
