“There was enough information for a search to be commenced,” a source said. It’s understood one typed letter was sent anonymously to Ballymun
Garda Station – the base of the missing person’s investigation that is hunting for Mr Jonsson – while another was delivered to a priest in the Dublin area.
Although the information was vague, there was enough to persuade detectives that there was a possibility the remains of Mr Jonsson, 41, were in the park. The search began today and is set to continue tomorrow.
It’s understood the search is focusing on two areas of the park, also known as Santry Demesne. One is a heavily wooded area, while the other is a deep lake in the park – which means officers believe his remains have either been hidden in a shallow grave or in the water.
