Crimestoppers is launching an appeal for information about missing person Konrad Misiak.
On Tuesday 25th March 2014 Konrad Misiak was reported missing by his housemates to Finglas Garda Station. Originally from Poland, Konrad was living in the Finglas area, Dublin 11. In spite of intensive efforts to locate him, Konrad has not been seen since.
Crimestoppers and the Gardai are appealing for any members of the public, in particular members of the Polish community, to come forward with any information relating to Konrad’s disappearance.
Calls to Crimestoppers are completely anonymous and callers do not need to leave their name or address. Callers can claim a reward for information which significantly helps the investigation. Anybody with information can call Crimestoppers on 1800 25 00 25.
Speaking today, Detective Inspector Des McTiernan, Blanchardstown Garda Station said,
"Konrad has been missing for almost four years now, he lived in the Finglas area, and had been resident in Ireland for approximately seven (7) years. Prior to his disappearance, Konrad Misiak may have travelled to Courtown, County Wexford, however, this is unconfirmed.”
"Konrad was described by his housemates as approximately 157cm in height, of slight build with brown fair hair and wore glasses. When last seen, he was described as wearing blue jeans and a navy jacket.”
"We are appealing to the public, and in particular members of Dublin’s Polish community, to come forward with any information about Konrad’s disappearance or current wherabouts.”
"Even the smallest piece of information, which may seem insignificant, might help with the investigation.”
"If a member of the public prefers to give the information without identifying themselves, they can call Crimestoppers on 1800 25 00 25.”
Crimestoppers Chairman Tim Dalton commented, "Members of the public can call Crimestoppers with potentially valuable information about any crime without leaving their name or personal details. The ability to give information anonymously can be an important incentive and could help solve a case and secure a conviction.”
Interview requests: Detective Inspector Des McTiernan, Blanchardstown Garda Station, is available for interview between 9am and 10am on Monday the 26/03/18. Interview requests, setting out contact details, should be send to pressoffice@garda.ie

Note to Editors:
Irish Crimestoppers Trust (www.crimestoppers.ie) was set up in 1998 to provide a confidential means for every citizen to report crime, without fear of recrimination, by calling a free phone confidential number (1800 25 00 25).
The current sponsors of Irish Crimestoppers Trust include the Department of Justice & Equality and the Department of Health.
The Crimestoppers concept is simple - the call is free, there is no need to give one’s name, the phone is answered by specially trained Gardaí, and a cash reward may be paid in certain cases. Rewards are given at the discretion of the Gardaí. The Crimestoppers model is a well tried and well developed model in many countries.
