Mother of Missing Kyran Durnin Located in England; Gardaí Continue Investigation in Search for Answers
Ardee News and Sport – In a significant development in the case of missing and presumed dead eight-year-old Kyran Durnin, Gardaí have tracked down his mother, Dayla Durnin, now living in East Anglia, England. Located by UK police at the request of Irish authorities, Ms. Durnin has assured detectives she is safe but has not provided any information about her son’s disappearance or whereabouts.
According to Garda sources, Kyran Durnin’s Mother told UK police that she does not know what happened to Kyran. The young boy was last seen in late May or early June 2022 at school, and while Gardaí are confident he is deceased, they are still trying to establish key details around his death, including when, where, and under what circumstances it occurred.
A senior Garda spokesperson remarked on the complex nature of the case, which is now anticipated to take at least six months to resolve. “This case is so complicated and could take at least six months, if not longer, to crack,” the source said. “The key people involved are not cooperating. We are following up on a large amount of information received from the public, checking it piece by piece.”
Unanswered Questions and Uncooperative Witnesses Complicate Case
Detectives face considerable obstacles, with none of the individuals close to Kyran providing concrete answers on his last known location or the date of his disappearance. Authorities have not ruled out that Kyran may have died as a result of an accident but stress that they need more evidence to support any theory.
“We do not know how long Kyran lived after he left his school,” the Garda source explained. “The family moved around different locations, and we are working to trace their exact movements. People are saying he went missing, but nobody close to him will tell us exactly when or how it happened.”
Despite an initial search at the family’s former home in Dundalk, Gardaí found no remains, and sources confirm that Kyran was not seen at this location with his family in the previous year. Plans are now underway to assess several additional sites for potential searches, including various residences in the Drogheda area, though final decisions on new excavation sites have yet to be made.
Determined Efforts to Uncover the Truth
The Garda source further stated, “We have some of our top detectives working on this case. Eventually, we will uncover the truth and find his body. A small number of people know exactly what happened, but they are not cooperating with us at this time.”
The lack of cooperation has hindered progress, but authorities remain optimistic that the efforts of the dedicated investigation team will ultimately lead to answers. The case has captured the attention of the public, with many offering information that investigators are painstakingly verifying. As Gardaí continue to analyze the family’s movements and review potential search sites, they are urging anyone with relevant information to come forward to assist in the search for answers surrounding Kyran Durnin’s tragic disappearance. tirelessly to enhance community life, paving the way for a more connected and resilient county.
