Irish woman and son still missing in the U.S.

“I have gone though every possible motion. The Irish vice consul general has been more than helpful, as has his staff at the consulate. Everyone has reached out and tried to be helpful to Josephine, but she’s still evading the law,” he says.

“I think she now fears she’ll go to jail for taking the child from a safe environment. Now she doesn’t have any income and she can’t drive.”

Omar suspects that Cuskelly may be staying at a women’s shelter somewhere in the U.S. As a former employee of a health clinic she may have friends within the network who have agreed to harbor her.

“We have strong reason to believe she is still here in the U.S. This is a parent’s worst nightmare. Josephine’s sister claims she has been in contact with her but doesn’t know where she is,” says Omar.

“She claims that Josephine is afraid to come forward now because the authorities have ruled against her. Her sister claims she will try to talk some sense into her when she calls again. All I want her to do is come forward.”

Omar said their relationship ran into difficulty last spring and in July he refused to allow Cuskelly to bring their son on a trip to Ireland to see her family. She disappeared with the boy shortly thereafter.
