United Kingdom KYRAN DURNIN: Missing from Louth, Ireland - August 2024 - Age 8 - Possibly missing 2+ years

Case of missing boy, 8, becomes murder probe as he could have 'died months ago'

Police initially launched a missing persons inquiry on August 30 after eight-year-old Kyran Durnin disappeared with his mum Dayla - now he is feared dead and a murder investigation has been launched

A missing eight-year-old is presumed dead after six weeks of searching that have revealed no trace of the youngster or his mum.

Kyran Durnin and his mother Dayla went missing overnight on August 28 from the family's home in County Louth, Ireland, after the 24-year-old left a note saying she "needed to get away for a few days". Police launched search efforts two days later, and despite "extensive enquiries" have not found any clues to their whereabouts well over a month later.

Garda have now issued an update saying Kyran is now missing presumed dead, having been unable to identify evidence suggesting he is currently alive. An Garda Siochana said in a statement today: “Despite extensive inquiries carried out by gardai to date, An Garda Siochana have been unable to either locate Kyran, identify any information on his current whereabouts or any evidence that he is currently alive.

“Following inquiries to date, investigating Gardai now believe that Kyran is missing presumed dead. A murder investigation has been commenced.”

No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing, with the probe being led by a senior investigation officer based out of an incident room established at Drogheda Garda Station. Tusla, Ireland’s Child and Family Agency, is working closely with and fully co-operating with the Garda investigation.


When the missing person report was filed at the end of August it included a photo of Kyran when he was around six years old. And now the police believe Kyran, from Drogheda, in Co Louth, may have have been dead for more than two years, reports RTE.

It is also expected that Tusla, Ireland’s child and family agency, may also help in putting together what has happened to Kyran with police reportedly believing now that he may have died more than two years ago. As of now though police do not know how, if Kyran did die, or where his body in that case is located.

MEDIA: Missing 8 yr old Irish boy KYRAN DURNIN may have died TWO YEARS before anyone knew he was missing! How can that happen?

Hopefully it's a case that the grandmother was tired of being gaslighted by the daughter and had had enough.

Well it at least explains one initial question. Why would grandma say she saw him if he'd been missing such a long time? Because she saw this other boy who was being played off as Kyran.
I said early on and still believe that she had been covering for mom and was tired of it. Or, more likely, she was scared she was finally going to get caught up in it. With the social worker questioning things and making the initial report, she had to cover her own @$$.

But did she try to out that off with her own mother? They did for social services but hopefully her mom would know it wasn't him.

I'm sure she knew. Which is why she only made the report after the social worker did. She knew and was scared she was going to get caught. IMO.
I just think her ORIGINAL story was "I just saw him a few days ago!" but it was the other boy all along.

Pretty sure she's one of the four they say were involved.

Missing Kyran Durnin’s mum ‘distraught’ at disappearance of son, 8, as she tells cops she fled Ireland over safety fears​

MISSING Kyran Durnin’s mum told British cops she fled Ireland over fears for her safety.

Dayla Durnin is currently staying with friends in the Ipswich area of England.

She told British police she had no idea where her eight-year-old son Kyran is and could not give an explanation of when he disappeared and what might have happened to him.

A police source said: “She has been asked about the missing child and she has confirmed she does not know anything about it.

“She is distraught at the disappearance of her son and is staying with pals over here in England.”

Following a number of appeals, Gardai have been inundated with information from the public and are slowly following up every lead.

A senior officer involved in the investigation said it is going to take time and they have to be extremely careful what they say.

And a Garda source said their priority is to find out exactly what happened to Kyran.


Gardai are hopeful that local women with even a tiny bit of knowledge about the case might provide them with valuable new clues.
