Casesrelisted from missing to murdered
THE missing persons cases of Jojo Dullard, Deirdre Jacob and Trevor Deeley have been upgraded to murder in recent years.
Student Deirdre, 18, vanished just yards from her Newbridge Co Kildare home in July 1998.
And bank worker Trevor, 20, disappeared after a works night out in December 2000. He was last seen on Dublin’s Haddington Road.
However retired detectives who worked on cold cases believe a number of missing women investigations should be upgraded to murder.
These include Annie Mccarrick, 26, Fiona Pender, 25, Fiona Sinnott, 19, Ciara Breen, 17, and possibly several others.
