Deirdre Jacob was last seen on Tuesday, July 28th in 1998 near her home in Roseberry, Newbridge, at 3pm.
"Gardai are just as baffled as we are."
That's according to Michael Jacob, the father of Deirdre Jacob, as he made an appeal as today marks 27 years since his daughter went missing.
Deirdre Jacob was last seen on Tuesday, July 28th in 1998 near her home in Roseberry, Newbridge, at 3pm.
She was 18-years-old in 1998 and had just completed one year at St Mary’s University in Twickenham, London.
On the day she went missing, July 28th, 1998, she had walked into Newbridge to get a bank draft to send to a college friend in London for their rent deposit.
She was 5’3” in height with a slim build. She had grey/green eyes and dark, chin-length hair.
Anyone with information in relation to Deirdre's disappearance have been urged to contact the investigation team at Kildare Garda Station at 045 521222, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.
Speaking on Kildare Today, Deirdre's father Michael Jacob said it does not feel like 27 years have passed.
He said he often wonders where "those years have gone" but he knows in his heart that the "answer will come one day".
