The search of land, connected to the disappearance of Jo Jo Dullard 29 years ago, will resume this morning. A man arrested on suspicion of her murder remains in custody.
Ellen Butler reports: "Just two days after marking the anniversary of her disappearance, Jo Jo Dullard’s family was yesterday informed by Gardaí of a major development in the case. A 55 year old man was taken into custody yesterday morning, on suspicion of her murder - the first arrest in this almost 30 year old case.
"He’s being questioned at a Garda station in County Kildare - but must be either charged or released this morning. Jo Jo was 21 when she vanished from Moone in Kildare, while travelling home to Callan in County Kilkenny after a night out in Dublin on November 9th 1995.
"Gardaí also began combing through a remote piece of land near Grangecon on the Kildare/Wicklow border yesterday - and say searches and excavations will continue over the coming days."
