Appeal for information on 24th anniversary of disappearance of Trevor Deely

ON the 24th anniversary of the disappearance of Trevor Deely, investigating gardaí at Pearse Street Garda Station in Dublin are continuing to appeal to the public for information.

On December 7, 2000, Trevor (22), originally of Naas, Co. Kildare, and Serpentine Avenue, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, and who has strong family ties in Mayo, attended his work Christmas party at the Hilton Hotel, Dublin 2.

Afterwards he proceeded to Buck Whaley’s nightclub on Leeson Street which he left between 2.30 a.m. and 3.25 a.m. on December 8.

The weather on the night in question was extremely wet and there was a taxi strike in progress.

At 3.35 a.m., on December 8, Trevor called to his place of work at Bank of Ireland, Asset Management Offices, Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2.

CCTV footage of the rear entrance of Bank of Ireland, Asset Management Offices on Wilton Terrace, Dublin 2, at 3.35 a.m. shows an unknown male conversing with Trevor at the back gate of BIAM.

Gardaí are still looking to identify this male who may have information that could assist the investigation.

Trevor was last sighted on CCTV passing the Bank of Ireland ATM on Haddington Road at 4.14 a.m. Some 31 seconds later a male was captured on CCTV walking in the same direction as Trevor.

It has not been confirmed if this is the same male seen conversing with Trevor at the rear entrance to BIAM.

An investigation was immediately launched by gardaí at Harcourt Terrace and Irishtown Garda Stations.

In May 2016 a review and reinvestigation into Trevor's disappearance commenced in Pearse Street Garda Station. To date, 876 jobs have been created and addressed by the review team.

Trevor Deely was 6ft 1”, slim build, short red/brown hair, fair complexion, last sighted wearing a mustard and brown checked shirt, beige/grey corduroy flared trousers, dark deck shoes with white stripes, a green padded jacket, carrying a large dark blue umbrella with white ACC Bank lettering.

Gardaí at Pearse Street Garda Station are appealing for information that will assist the investigation into his disappearance. Even the smallest piece of information, which may seem insignificant, may assist the investigation.
