Gardaí investigating the disappearance and murder of Josephine "Jo Jo” Dullard have this morning arrested a male on suspicion of the murder of Jo Jo Dullard.
The male, aged in his 50s, is currently detained under the provisions of section 4, Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at a Garda Station in Co. Kildare.
It is the first arrest in the case, which was upgraded from a missing persons to a murder inquiry four years ago.
November 1995
On 9 November 1995, Ms Dullard travelled to Dublin where she spent the evening socialising.
She missed her last bus home to Kilkenny that evening and at 10pm boarded a bus to Naas, Co Kildare, where she then intended to hitchhike the rest of the way home to Callan, Co Kilkenny.
Ms Dullard hitched a lift from Naas to the slip road on the M9 motorway at Kilcullen, Co Kildare.
At approximately 11.15pm, she hitched another lift to Moone, Co Kildare.
In Moone, Ms Dullard made a telephone call to her friend Mary Cullinan at 11.37pm.
Ms Dullard told Ms Cullinan that a car had stopped for her, and she was going to take the lift.
This was the last known interaction with her.
On Friday 10 November 1995, Jo Jo's sister, Kathleen, reported her missing and a missing persons investigation commenced.
