Family of Icelandic man Jon Jonsson missing in Dublin since February make emotional appeal

The heartbroken family of a man who went missing in Dublin in February have made another emotional appeal.

Icelandic man Jon Jonsson was in Ireland participating in a poker competition at the Bonnington Hotel.

The 41-year-old left his room on Saturday morning, February 9, after speaking with his fiance Jana.

Jana has told how their children have been crying at night without their dad, as she appealed for witnesses to come forward.

She said: “I’m trying all day to be strong for our children. They miss him so much and are crying at night."

She added: "If you know something, please, please call the Gardaí and help us find him."

He was seen on CCTV walking in the direction of the Collins Avenue junction of the Swords Road after leaving the hotel.

Jon hasn't been seen since and his younger brother Daniel believes somebody knows what happened to him.

Speaking on RTE's Crimecall, he said: "I’ve no idea what happened to my brother, it doesn't make any sense. But somebody knows.

"It would mean everything to know he’s alive, or if he’s not, to know where he is.

"I’m not going to give up. It’s my objective, to find him."

Jon's partner, who was staying in the hotel at the time, reported him missing to gardai on February 10.

And after his family flew to Dublin, Gardaí, the Civil Defence and other volunteers carried out a search of the area - but no trace of Jon was found.
