Kyran Durnin, 8, was born to his mother, Dayla Durnin, 2016 in Dublin, Ireland.

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.

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.
