Garda renew appeal on 21st anniversary of Trevor Deely's disappearance

On this the 21st anniversary of the disappearance of Trevor Deely, investigating Gardaí are again renewing their appeal to the public for information. On December 7, 2000, Trevor Deely, 22 years, originally of Naas, Co. Kildare and Serpentine Avenue, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 attended his work Christmas party at the Hilton Hotel, Dublin 2. Afterwards Trevor proceeded to Buck Whaley’s nightclub on Leeson Street which he left between 2.30am and 3.25am on December 8, 2000.

In the early hours of December 8, 2000, the weather was extremely wet and there was a taxi strike in progress. Trevor called to his place of work at Bank of Ireland, Asset Management Offices, Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2. CCTV footage at 3.35am on December 8, 2000 shows an unknown male conversing with Trevor at the back gate of the entrance of Bank of Ireland, Asset Management Offices on Wilton Terrace, Dublin 2. This male has never been identified.

Trevor was last sighted on CCTV passing the Bank of Ireland ATM on Haddington Road at 4.14am. 31 seconds later a male was captured on CCTV walking in the same direction as Trevor.

The investigation continues to focus on trying to establish the identity of the man dressed in dark/black clothing pictured in CCTV footage talking to Trevor at a gate on Wilton Terrace at the rear entrance to Trevor’s work place.

Gardai believe this is the same man who can later be seen walking a short distance behind Trevor in CCTV footage at the Bank of Ireland ATM on Haddington Road.
