Family and community await answers as Gardaí detain long-standing person of interest, reigniting hope for justice in the unsolved disappearance of JoJo Dullard.
JoJo Dullard’s disappearance nearly three decades ago left a deep wound in her family and community, one that has festered in the uncertainty and heartbreak of not knowing what happened to her.
JoJo, the youngest of five siblings and a beloved daughter, was only 21 when she vanished in November 1995, last seen hitchhiking home to Kilkenny after meeting with friends in Dublin that day. She had called a friend from a phone booth in Moone, County Kildare, saying someone had stopped to give her a lift, the last anyone heard from her.
Her family has lived with that void, haunted by the silence, the years of unanswered questions, and the ache of her disappearance. As her sister Kathleen recalls, JoJo was full of life, clever, and caring. She had her dreams ahead of her, but the family’s world turned to dread when JoJo never returned that November morning. This arrest, following a renewed appeal on the 29th anniversary of her disappearance, brings a glimmer of hope to the Dullard family and to others who have lost loved ones under similar, unexplained circumstances.
With Gardaí now searching an area near the Wicklow/Kildare border and conducting forensic examinations, they may be one step closer to uncovering what happened to JoJo and, perhaps, bringing some comfort to her family after so many painful years. This potential breakthrough serves as a beacon of hope for other families across Leinster who continue to wait for justice for their missing loved ones.
Reports indicate that Gardaí have long considered this man a person of interest in JoJo Dullard’s disappearance. However, despite years of investigation and public speculation, he has only now been detained under suspicion of her murder. This development is significant, as it distinguishes him from other leads and figures previously suspected, such as Larry Murphy, who was widely speculated to be involved in JoJo’s case but has never been formally connected to her disappearance by Gardaí.
For the Dullard family, the arrest of someone long believed to be involved but not yet charged brings both relief and trepidation. They have fought tirelessly to keep JoJo’s case in the public eye, never giving up on finding answers. This long-awaited moment also renews hope for clarity and justice, not only for JoJo but also for others who have suffered through similar unresolved cases in Leinster. Families waiting for their own answers may find renewed strength and hope in this new development.
Gardaí remain resolute in their mission to bring JoJo’s killer to justice, emphasising that any piece of information, no matter how small, could help finally put JoJo to rest and offer peace to those who loved her.
