Gardaí searching site at Grangecon, Co Wicklow , for human remains or any personal items owned by 21-year-old Kilkenny woman who vanished in 1995
Though a 55-year-old man arrested at the same time as the searches began has since been released without charge, Garda sources insisted a thorough murder investigation would continue. One said detectives were “in it for the long haul”, adding the investigation of a murder 29 years ago was “always going to be painstaking”.
The suspect in the case, who is from the Kildare-Wicklow border region, has denied in any involvement in the disappearance or murder of Ms Dullard . However, gardaí believe he had contact with her on the night she vanished while hitchhiking in Moone, Co Kildare. The suspect is also believed to have had an injury to his face immediately after November 9th, 1995, the night the victim was last seen alive in Moone.
Ms Dullard’s disappearance was treated as a missing people inquiry for 25 years but the case was upgraded to a murder investigation in 2020, when gardaí said they believed she died violently. A Garda cold case review had also been carried out into all aspects of how Ms Dullard’s disappearance had been previously conducted, and unexploited lines of investigation.
