Missing Person - Jon Jonsson

Gardaí at Ballymun Garda Station are investigating the disappearance of forty-one-year-old Jon Jonsson, last seen Saturday 9th February 2019.

Jon, originally from Iceland, travelled to Ireland on Friday 8th and checked into the Bonnington Hotel, where a poker tournament was taking place. On Saturday, Jon was joined by his partner, who was also attending the tournament. Jon’s partner left their bedroom on Saturday morning to get a coffee, followed shortly afterwardsby Jon, who was captured on the hotel’s CCTV in the lobby. Jon left the hotel and turned right onto the Swords road in the direction of the Airport. Jon left his passport and phone behind in the hotel room.

A number of Operational searches which took place in North Dublin this week have yielded no further information on the whereabouts of Jon Jonsson.

It is out of character for Mr Jonsson to go missing like this. He is a family man with young children back at home in Iceland. His partner, family and friends are extremely concerned for his safety and wellbeing and are appealing to the public for their assistance.

The Garda investigation into the disappearance of Jon has also continued over the last 5 years. The investigation to date has created over 270 jobs/lines of enquires and numerous statements have been taken and hours of CCTV were reviewed. Despite ongoing investigations and enquiries, Jon has yet to be located and we continue to look for your help.
