The family of Trevor Deely have launched a fresh appeal for information on the 20th anniversary of his disappearance.
Trevor was 22 years old when he attended a Christmas party in Dublin City Centre on December 7th, 2000.
He never came home and Gardaí have been investigating his disappearance ever since.
Speaking at Pearse Street Garda Station Inspector Katherina Joyce said: “After spending the night socialising in Dublin City without incident, 22-year-old Trevor Deely was last seen on CCTV passing the Bank of Ireland ATM on Haddington Road, at approximately 4:14 a.m. on the 8th December 2000,” he said.
“Our investigation continues to focus on trying to establish the identity of a man dressed in dark or black clothing pictured in CCTV footage talking to Trevor at a gate on Wilton Terrace at the rear entrance to Trevor’s workplace.
“We believe the same man can later be seen walking a short distance behind Trevor in CCTV footage at the Bank of Ireland ATM on Haddington Road, he has never been identified.
“This was the last known sighting of Trevor Deely and we believe the man pictured in this CCTV may have vital information that can help us to solve this case.”
Appeal
She said Gardaí believe the answers that can solve the case “may be found in the community.”
“At this time, we are appealing to those who, for whatever reason, have not been in a position to come forward to date to reconsider contacting us,” she said.
Speaking on behalf of the Deely family, Trevor’s sister Michele said the family are “desperate” for any information.
“It is hard to believe we are now 20 years without him,” she said.
“He is the ‘baby’ of our family and we have spent the last two decades doing all we can to find him.
“But we are still stuck in the same place of not knowing anything beyond his last confirmed sighting at the top of Haddington Road.
“The pain of not knowing where Trevor is, is getting more and more difficult to bear. Please help us. All we want to know is, where is Trevor?”
A Crimestoppers reward of €100,000 is still active and available to anyone who can provide any information that helps in finding Trevor or provides significant progress in the case.
