Deirdre Jacob - Part 2
Notes de l’épisode
The summer after Deirdre Jacob turned 18, she disappeared in broad daylight, outside her own front gate. The year was 1998 and Deirdre was the seventh woman to vanish without a trace in Leinster in just five years.
Ireland’s vanishing triangle of more than 12 missing and murdered women across the 1980s and 1990s was finally taken seriously by Gardai when Deirdre disappeared. Her case was the catalyst that led to multiple searches, a number of arrests, amid efforts to seek justice for so many missing or murdered Irish women.
But despite the impact Deirdre's case had, she has never been found. In part two of our series on Deirdre Jacob we investigate the many dead ends faced by Deirdre's loved ones in the wake of her disappearance, the renewed hope the 2018 reclassification to murder brought to the case and the in-depth searches that are currently being undertaken.
