The Gardaí are appealing to the public for help to locate a 72-year-old man missing from County Kerry. Jeremiah was last seen on Tuesday, December 30, at approximately 3pm. Authorities believe every lead is important as they work to ensure his safe return.

Jeremiah is described as being over 6 feet tall with a medium build. He has grey hair and blue eyes. At the time he was last seen, he was wearing dark clothing, including a brown jacket. He may be wearing other items that could help identify him, but exact details beyond the description have not been released by Gardaí.
Why public assistance matters
Public assistance is crucial in cases of missing persons, especially for older adults who may be vulnerable. Eyewitness information, sightings in recent days, or even routine activity that aligns with Jeremiah’s last known whereabouts can significantly aid the investigation. People who think they may have seen Jeremiah or who have information about his movements are urged to contact Gardaí immediately.
How to report information
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Gardaí—phone numbers are widely publicized by the force and local station contacts can be found online. In Ireland, you can also use official crime reporting channels to share tips, ensuring details are clear and useful to investigators. Even seemingly minor details, such as Jeremiah’s recent routines or places he frequents, can be valuable.
What investigators are focusing on
Gardaí are following standard procedures in missing-person cases, coordinating with local communities and search teams. They may canvass areas Jeremiah is known to frequent and review CCTV footage from around the location where he was last seen. The aim is to establish a timeline and identify any potential leads that could narrow the search range.
What the public can do right now
Members of the public can help by sharing this appeal with neighbours, community groups, and social media networks. Keeping information centralized through Garda channels helps ensure tips are acted upon efficiently. Anyone who has seen a person matching Jeremiah’s description in the county or nearby areas should contact authorities without delay.
Support for loved ones
The family and friends of Jeremiah are being supported by Gardaí as the search continues. The public’s cooperation is invaluable in these moments and may bring reassurance to those awaiting news. Updates will be provided as soon as reliable information becomes available from the investigation.
