Gardaí issue new photos of missing Kyran Durnin amid renewed appeal for information

Gardaí in Louth investigating the disappearance of Kyran Durnin have issued a renewed appeal to the public for information.

Gardaí suspect that Kyran, who was only reported missing in August, might have died in 2022 when he was last seen aged just six-years-old. 

In October, a murder investigation was launched by gardaí who have since arrested a man and a woman on suspicion of murder. Both people were released without charge.

Three residences and adjoining lands have also been searched as part of the investigation.

Unfortunately, despite the extensive investigations, gardaí have not been able to locate the little boy.

Gardaí have said that they have received "extensive support" from the public. As part of the ongoing enquiries, new images have been provided by gardaí of Kyran which were taken in June 2022. 

The investigation team, led by a Senior Investigation Officer (SIO), continue to appeal to the public for any information in connection to the disappearance of Kyran.
Gardaí said that they are aware of the "extensive public commentary on this investigation including speculation, rumours and theories on what may have happened to Kyran."
An Garda Síochána has asked the public, notwithstanding all the information that is in the public domain, to not assume that the investigation team know the information that you may have. 
They added that any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, will be welcomed by the investigation team and "will be treated in the strictest confidence."
The Garda investigation team can be contacted at Drogheda Garda Station on 041 987 4200, the Garda Confidential Line on (1800) 666 111 or through any Garda Station.
The investigation is ongoing.
