long-term missing Dublin man Trevor Deely was murdered after an altercation
Gardaí today announced that a new witness has come forward with information that supports their theory that missing man Trevor Deely was murdered after an altercation.
Article about the announcement via the Irish Independent.
Nineteen years ago Trevor went missing on his way home from a work Christmas party in Dublin and hasn't been seen since. It's been long suspected that Trevor was the unfortunate victim of a gangland murder, however this new witness appears to be credible in confirming this. The article linked above mentions that some of the suspects have since died, maybe this is the reason the witness now feels safe to come forward. Hopefully this information will finally close the case and bring Trevor's family some peace.
u/Robinwarder1 did an excellent write up (and podcast episode) about Trevor's disappearance, I'd highly recommend checking it out if you're unfamiliar with the case. I've included some of the text for background info here:
Thursday, December 7, 2000, Trevor Deely, a 22-year old IT specialist with the Bank of Ireland Asset Management, attended a staff Christmas party which involved travelling to multiple locations until they wound up at a Dublin nightclub. At around 3:25 AM on December 8, Trevor left the club and would have ordinarily walked home to his apartment, but there was a heavy rainstorm. Due to a taxi driver strike, no cabs were available, so Trevor decided to walk to his workplace, the Bank of Ireland Asset Management headquarters, which was a couple of minutes away. After entering the building, Trevor spent a few minutes checking E-mails before having coffee with Karl Pender, a co-worker who was working the overnight shift. Even though Karl described Trevor as being a bit tipsy, he did not believe he was overly intoxicated. Trevor grabbed one of the office's corporate golf umbrellas before exiting the building to walk home at 4:02 AM. He used his cell phone to leave a quick voicemail for a friend, but this turned out to be the last time anyone ever heard from him.
Trevor failed to show up to work later that day, which did not raise any alarm bells since he had been partying the night before. However, when he failed to show up for work on Monday, December 11, this caused great concern. Nobody had made any contact with Trevor over the weekend and his two apartment flatmates were out of town on holiday. His sister attempted to call him multiple times that weekend and claimed that Trevor's phone did ring until it started going straight to voicemail on December 11. After he was officially reported missing, investigators examined some CCTV footage of Trevor on the night he disappeared. At 3:34 AM, the security cameras outside BIAM headquarters captured Trevor entering the building through the rear gate. An unidentified man dressed in black was shown standing near the gate in the same spot since 3:05 AM. When Trevor arrived, the two men could be seen having a brief conversation before Trevor walked through the gate. According to Karl Pender, Trevor never mentioned anything about this conversation. When Trevor exited through the rear gate at 4:02, the man in black was no longer there. The last official sighting of Trevor occurred when CCTV footage showed him passing by an ATM located at the corner of Haddington Road and Baggot Street Bridge at 4:14 AM. Thirty seconds after Trevor walked out of frame, a man dressed in black passed by the ATM and headed in the same direction. Since the footage was not very clear, no one could be certain if this was the same man seen standing outside BIAM headquarters. Even though a public plea was sent out for this man to come forward, no one ever did.
