Millionaire property tycoon found disorientated and starving at side of rural road after being missing for eight months A property tycoon who has been missing for eight months has been found disorientated and starving at the side of a rural road. Kevin McGeever, 68, is now recovering in hospital in Mullingar. Count Westmeath. Mr McGeever, who traded property in Dubai during the Irish economic boom years, was reported missing to police in Galway in June last year. The property developer was found dishevelled and emaciated with a long beard and very long fingernails. He was picked up on a country road near Ballinamore in County Leitrim on Tuesday night. According to some reports Mr McGeever claimed he had been kidnapped and tortured by Russian gangsters. Sinn Féin Councillor Martin Kenny from Ballinamore told the BBC a couple who were driving from Enniskillen discovered McGeever as they drove home: "They noticed something on the road and, at first, they thought it was a traffic cone, but he was wearing red trousers," he said. He looked dishevelled. He did not know what county he was in, what day it was, what month it was. They noticed he had no shoes. Cllr Kenny said reports claiming the tycoon had an insult carved onto his head were speculation. Mr McKeever lives in a £2.58m mansion and owns a personal helicopter and a fleet of cars including a Porsche and two Hummers. Irish police have confirmed they are investigating.
