An Garda Síochána says its is aware of ongoing extensive public commentary on this investigation, including speculation, rumours and theories on what may have happened to Kyran, most of which is inaccurate and misinformed. An Garda Síochána says such ill-informed public commentary is not only disruptive to the Garda investigations but also adds to the trauma experienced by victims families.

The only speculation I can see on SM and the public domain is about kyrans mother and grandmother and i feel in their case its a fair judgement for people to opine. as of their guilt in either neglect, cover up or murder .

I think it's unfair of the garda to say its rumour and speculation and then expect people to help . Why is the two aforementioned women not doing appeals for the missing boy if they are innocent. Why ate his maternal side of the family not putting up posters and for that matter where is the fathers family . Why if the guards know they are innocent, why not say publicly to stop the speculation . The mccanns have had to put up with speculation and fingers been pointed for years but they still faced the public to plead for their daughter.

It's the most weirdest case I've ever seen regarding a missing child of kyrans age . Not one family member pleading with the public for information through the media.

It's the granny's house and they wants us to stop speculation

 

[wtiger]

last time i looked it was perfectly legal and valid to speculate or opine on pretty much anything wasn't it?

unless we have suddenly become a police state by stealth!

Investigation gathers pace my foot.
This beggars belief it has taken since August last year to search the Grandmother’s house who is clearly lying.
Every agency has let this little lad down and yet still his so called family are still walking free
Yes it was June 2022 because it keeps being reported as missing for 2 years when it is now almost 3 years which I find annoying
IMO

I hope they find Kyran at the grandmother's garden.

Photos from phone give gardaí proof of Kyran’s last known location

Photographs of Kyran Durnin proving that he was alive in June 2022 were recovered from a mobile phone handed over to gardaí last week as part of the investigation into the murder of the missing schoolboy. The pictures of Kyran were taken on a mobile phone, days apart, in Drogheda, in early June...

The pictures of Kyran were taken on a mobile phone, days apart, in Drogheda, in early June 2022, when the child was six years old."

So perhaps it's possible they have subsequently obtained more photographs from someone else's phone?

Or could just be a mistake in the papers?

Or possibly because of this subsequent analysis of social media, as detailed in this article:

Kyran Durnin case: Online activity and purchases relating to missing child appear to expire in 2022

Remains of boy not yet found despite several searches at properties in Co Louth

www.irishtimes.com

Seems the initial 'last confirmed sighting' [from an outside party] was from school (reported as both May and June 2022).

Garda then obtained photographs from a phone (June 2022).

They then analyzed data from phones, online activity and social media:

EG Takeaway food orders stop in June 2022 which presumably could either imply that he has sadly died, or that whoever was caring for him stopped feeding him

That article explains the complexities pretty well. I'm guessing it has changed to summer because of the above, information which perhaps took longer to process.

Dayla Durnin informed the school that Kyran was in hospital with COVID in June 2022. She then told the school that they were moving to Northern Ireland in June 2022. Obviously Kyran was dead at that point.

Officers from the Garda Technical Bureau undertook a forensic examination of the property, including the rear garden.

A mini-digger was used to excavate land.

This poor little boy….most likely murdered, buried somewhere and forgotten. Ignored by family. How could anyone live with themselves. Disgusting.

I would say it would be dayla especially if evidence of kyrans murder is found a granny's dayla will go down swinging .no way will she accept responsibility .she is a cold hearted witch of the highest order . If she had any feelings towards her son she would be answering questions, would not have absconded and pleading to find little kyran or telling police where his body is more like


I'm so glad the father released his anger outside Rhondas must be awful for him ,having to remain silent all this time and see dayla living her best life in England. I commend his restraint as I think I would be done for gbh in torturing the life out of the pair trying to get to the truth . Hopefully justice will be served .

One thing does annoy me though the thoughts of whomever did this won't face justice in the uk . Ireland prison sentences aren't as long as uk and there is no whole life order

Also the reporting restrictions differ in ireland too .the perpetrators inflicted violence and neglect is not reported in order to protect a minor during a court case . Whereas in uk , papers will report on all details of the evidence presented.

I totally agree with you.

 

[su5ie]

I totally agree with you.

Do you think dayla and Rhonda hid kyran with a relative prehaps under a false identity. I know it's an extreme length to go to if their motive to conceal him was preventing the father from having access or custody if the alleged awarding of custody is true .


I think what is hard to understand for me in this case is why paternal family members aren't doing appeals for one and secondly why is Dayla not being charged with something.

If Kyran was in her custody and she was his legal guardian and he was under her care ,is she not responsible for his safety and well-being ? Surely a reply of I don't know where he is is not good enough .This is not a case of an adult choosing to go missing it's a very young child . I'm a mother ,if my child disappears, is it not my responsibility to report that or is there no law that covers this .

I think reading between the lines of this case . It's not really being said in the media who had kyran in their care . I feel the limited facts of this are fueling online speculation and fingerpointing. I understand he was being cared for by a relative when he was a toddler and maybe I have my wires crossed but was he in foster care aswell as this .

From the locations of the searches it would definitely appear to be that kyran was in the grandmother or Dayla's care

Emotions always run high in cases where there is a possibility a child has been murdered particularly by a family member as morally we expect a child to be safe with his family but I feel this case in particular has people very angry as to how a child can disappear for up to 2 and half years and no one inquired . If my child missed a week of school or club night ,teachers etc would inquire. I wonder was kyrans family part of a minority group where teachers don't want or don't bother interfering. I don't mean to be disrespectful to any member of that minority community but dayla does have a certain stereotype image that many females of that group may portray . Please don't think I'm being offensive to people of that community. It's just a typical image that's often portrayed in film and TV.
