Last week, Gardai opened a murder investigation into missing New York native Annie McCarrick in Dublin.

Today, Paul speaks to the former detective who investigated Annie's disappearance, who believes her killer may have kept her bag as a souvenir.

Gardai have issued an appeal in relation to a brown bag she had when she vanished on March 26, 1993, and are looking for anyone who may have any information about Annie's whereabouts.

Today, we look at not only the case of Annie, but the cold cases of women missing in Ireland, and those who Gardai believe may have been involved - and those who have been effectively ruled out.

Shattered Lives is produced for Reach Ireland by Ciaran Bradley.
