Deirdre Jacob mystery remains unsolved as parents think 'little clue' could crack case 25 years on
The heartbroken parents of murdered student Deirdre Jacob – who vanished from outside her house in 1998 - have issued another plea for information ahead of the 25th anniversary of her disappearance.
READ MORE: Former cold case detective admits biggest regret of career not finding out what happened to missing Deirdre Jacob On Tuesday, July 28, she left home in Roseberry, 1.5km from Newbridge town centre, at around 12.20pm, to run a few errands in the town as she got ready to return to London the following week to take a receptionist job before starting back at college.
The last reported sighting of Deirdre was by a driver and his daughter, who saw Deirdre cross the road near her home and step inside her garden gate. In October of that year, the investigation team, run by Superintendent Martin Walker and Chief Supt Brian Sutton, from Kildare Garda Station - along with the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s cold case unit and the Serious Crime Review Team - were zooming in on notorious convicted rapist and attempted murderer, Larry Murphy, from Baltinglass, Co Wicklow, as the chief suspect.
The search followed reports from a witness that they saw a car with an open boot in the area, almost 18km from Newbridge, on the night Deirdre vanished.
