On July 28, 1998, 18-year-old Deirdre Jacob was back home from university and staying with her parents for the summer. She was preparing to begin her second year at St. Mary's University in London and needed to mail the deposit for her school accommodations. So Deirdre made the walk into town like she had done hundreds of times before. Having grown up in Newbridge, County Kildare, Ireland, she was well-known by the residents, and many people saw her running her errands that day. They even saw her walk home around 3 pm. But right before she entered the front door of her childhood home, Deirdre Jacob seemingly vanished into thin air. Now, 23 years later, Gardai in Ireland are closer than ever to making an arrest and finally finding out whether Deirdre was the final victim of Ireland's Vanishing Triangle.Find us everywhere: linktr.ee/attwgpodSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/attwgpodSources: Deirdre Jacob Deirdre Jacob - Chilling Crimes Ireland's Vanishing Triangle VIDEO: Timeline Of Missing Woman Deirdre Jacob Last Seen In 1998 Annie McCarrick, Deirdre Jacob, Fiona Pender...
