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.

Kyran Durnin murder mystery hope as cops probe new video after suspect’s final sighting claim amid ‘truth comes out’ vow​

GARDA continue to trawl through “a mountain” of video footage in their hunt for murdered schoolboy Kyran Durnin’s remains.

Investigators are busy going through thousands of hours of footage from all over Co Louth to try and pinpoint the tragic six-year-old’s last known movements.

A series of searches at properties and on land in the Drogheda and Dundalk areas have failed to unearth the youngster’s body.

It is now at least four years since Kyran was last seen alive in late June 2022, although he wasn’t officially reported missing until two years later in August 2024.

The Irish Sun has learned that one of the suspects in the case told Gardai that she didn’t see Kyran again after she dropped him off with a friend.

But the pal concerned has insisted they have no knowledge or recollection of this happening.

A Garda source said: “We are going through a mountain of video tapes from across the county to see if we can place Kyran at a specific location before he vanishes off the face of the earth.

“It is slow, painstaking work but it has to be done.

“We are all committed to getting justice for Kyran and finding his body. The truth will eventually come out, one way or the other.”

The investigating team in Drogheda are also still following up numerous leads from the general public.

The Gardai Press Office said in a statement their investigation into Kyran’s disappearance and murder is “live, active and fully-resourced” and they are continuing to examine all of the circumstances surrounding his death.

They said: “Kyran would be ten this year. This is a live, active and fully-resourced investigation.

“An Garda Siochana continues to appeal to any person with any information on the disappearance and murder of Kyran Durnin to contact the Garda investigation team.
