Disappearance of Trevor Deely

Security cameras recorded him entering and leaving the building, including a brief exchange with an unidentified man dressed in black. Deely was later captured on another camera outside a bank on Haddington Road as he continued home on foot; this is the last known image of him. Despite extensive and ongoing police investigations, his disappearance remains unsolved.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as unsolved 2000 disappearance of Irish 22 year-old man from Dublin. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q60521532. Authority coordinates are 53.333, -6.244. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
