Kyran’s Mother, Dayla Durnin, Also Disappeared Along With Him
Kyran Durnin, 8, was born to his mother, Dayla Durnin, 2016 in Dublin, Ireland.
His mother, Dayla Durnin, 25, was born in 2000 in County Louth, Ireland, to her mother, Rhonda Byrne Tyson.
She was diagnosed with type one diabetes and spent most of the summer in the hospital. Dayla had to inject herself five times a day.
When Dayla went missing, she was believed to be wearing white New Balance runners with navy lettering and grey camouflage leggings.
On the night that Dayla was last seen by her mother, she left a note on the table of the Drogheda home in which she wrote,
“needed to get away for a few days”.
According to the source, Dayla has been located alive in the UK. However, with no sign of the missing son Kyran, investigators in Drogheda declared a murder inquiry.
This occurred minutes after the missing person’s report for Dayla stood down.
On the other hand, the details of Dayla’s husband, Kyran’s biological father, have been kept private. It is known that his father was born in Ireland to his mother, Jacqueline Leydon.
