An investigation into the disappearance of Annie McCarrick 30 years ago has been upgraded to a murder inquiry. Evidence obtained using upgraded forensic techniques suggests that Ms McCarrick had been murdered. Ms McCarrick, a young American woman who was living in Ireland, went missing on March 26th, 1993. The last reported sighting of her was at Johnnie Fox’s pub in Glencullen in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains. Gardaí have collated in excess of 5,000 documents and reports, taken in excess of 300 statements of evidence and retained a number of exhibits over the past three decades. Gardaí now want to talk to people who may have had conversations with Ms McCarrick on March 26th, 1993, and individuals who have information on the large brown handbag which it is believed that Annie was in possession of when she went missing. At the time of her disappearance, she had fallen in love with Ireland and wanted to settle in the country despite her parent’s wishes that she return to live in the United States.
