}}Deirdre Jacob is an Irish woman who disappeared near her home in Newbridge, County Kildare on 28 July 1998 at the age of 18.[1][2] In August 2018 the Garda Síochána announced that her disappearance was being treated as a murder case.[1][2][2]

Family

Her parents are Michael and Bernadette Jacob and she was born on 14 October 1979.[3][4]

At the time of her disappearance, she had completed her first year as a student teacher at St Mary's University, Twickenham.[1]

Disappearance

Deirdre was last seen about 3pm on 28 July 1998.[5] She had gone to the Newbridge branch of Allied Irish Banks to get a bank draft to pay for student accommodation at university, then went to the post office to post the bank draft.[5] She also visited her grandmother, who owned a shop.[3]

The last sighting of her was close to her house on Barretstown Road.[6][2]

At the time of her disappearance she wore a dark T-shirt with white shoes and was carrying a black bag with a yellow Caterpillar Inc logo.[1] The bag has never been found.[1][16]

Aftermath

Deirdre's parents have never been able to move on and still hope that someone with information on their daughter's disappearance will come forward.[3] They have appealed to the public for information several times over the years.[5][3][7]

In 2016 her parents said that there was not as strong a link between their daughter's disappearance and convicted rapist Larry Murphy as was often supposed.[8] Gardai were never able to place Murphy in Newbridge the day she disappeared.[8] The only connection found was a piece of paper with Larry Murphy's name and phone number among the belongings of Deirdre's maternal grandmother after the latter's death.[8] She had owned a shop in Newbridge and Murphy had left his contact details with her grandmother as he was making wooden children's toys, but this was years before Deirdre's disappearance.[8]

In July 2018, on the 20th anniversary of her disappearance, her father called for a dedicated missing-persons unit to be set up.[9] Her parents were satisfied that the Gardai in Kildare were doing everything possible to locate their daughter, but that a dedicated unit would help investigations into missing persons cases.[9]

By 2018 Gardai had conducted 3,200 lines of inquiry and taken 2,500 witness statements.[2]

Case upgraded to murder investigation

The case was reclassified as murder because of new information and a review of the case.[1] Although Gardai did not reveal the new information, they said there was a definite line of inquiry.[2]

In October 2018 Gardai stated that they had 'significant' new leads in the murder probe and identified Larry Murphy as 'a person of interest'.[10] Her family still live in Newbridge and although they knew the reclassification of her disappearance as murder was to happen they still found it heart-wrenching and shattering to hear the language of a murder investigation used about their daughter's disappearance.[2]
