Jon Jonsson: Dublin, Ireland

Episode 16,   Feb 29, 07:59 AM

Jon Jonsson vanished during a poker tournament trip to Dublin in 2016, and despite recent efforts spurred by anonymous letters, authorities have been unable to find any substantial leads in the investigation.

In February 2016, Jon Jonsson embarked on a trip from Iceland to Dublin, Ireland, for a poker tournament. He played through the night, with his fiancee joining him the next morning for a 10-day holiday. However, when she arrived, he seemingly stepped out of the hotel for a cigarette, and mysteriously vanished without a trace.
Despite extensive efforts, including a recent search spurred by two anonymous letters received on the 5th anniversary of his disappearance, authorities have been unable to uncover any substantial leads. The search, employing divers, ground-penetrating technology, and search dogs, focused on a Dublin park but yielded no results after three days.
As the investigation stalls again, authorities urge the authors of the anonymous letters to come forward, believing their information could be crucial in solving the case.
Listen as we dive into Dublin, the case of Jon Jonsson, and how to stay alive on vacation.
