BREAKING: Body Found In Search For Missing Jastine Valdez
Gardaí have discovered a body in the search for missing student Jastine Valdez.
The 24-year-old was reported missing by her family on Saturday night. The missing persons report was filed following a woman witnessing a girl seemingly being forced into a car near Enniskerry, Co. Wicklow.
A man in his 40's who authorities wanted to speak to in connection to the disappearance was shot dead last night by Gardaí in Cherrywood in Dublin.
Following the man's death last night, searches continued for the 24-year-old student at numerous locations including a disused golf course following the discovery of Jastine's purse containing her ID.
It is now being reported that a body has been discovered at Puck Castle in Rathmichael, Co. Dublin during these searches.
The body has not yet been formally identified.
