Missing person procedure?

john-joe

Hi all, I am posting here as I feel it is the best way to get information. I am thinking about reporting a person missing as I have not heard from them in a few months.

Does anybody know what the procedure is on this? Where to go? What do I need to have?

I don't want to give out too much personal information, but can answer any questions that might be needed in answering the question.

Many thanks,

JJ

I suppose you would contact the local Garda station first.

I don't know the procedure but give them a shout on the phone, they are helpful most of the time. They will probably ask you to go down and fill out a report.

Yes i have, this person is my wife and I have not heard from her in 3 months, she is not from ireland and left to go back home after a argument. I have not heard from her since, I tried immigration and embassy of country but to no avail.

I hope I can get this resolved as I fear the worst...:(

Please say a prayer..

Thanks for all the advice/help:pac::pac:

Hi John

You've probably seen this or been told this already, but just in case:

There is certain information that Gardai will ask you to provide, including:

• The persons full name and any aliases they use.
• Place and date of birth.
• A complete description of the person including any distinguishing features, such as tattoos, birth marks or scars.
• A recent, clear and preferably colour photograph.
• Details of where and when the person was last seen or heard from.
• What the person was wearing including any jewellery.
• A contact list of the persons friends, relatives and colleagues.
• A list of places the person frequents such as clubs, shopping centres, hotels, parks, amusement arcades or restaurants.
• Bank account and credit card details.
• Details of any vehicle owned or used by the person.
• Details of any medications the person may require and what it is used to treat.

I hope everything works out well for you.
