It’s been over 30 years since Annie McCarrick vanished from her new home in Dublin. After decades of dead ends and misdirection, Gardaí finally arrested a man in connection with her murder in June of this year, only for him to be released the next day, with a property search yielding no results. This week, we examine Annie McCarrick’s 1993 disappearance and explore why, even after all this time, the case remains unsolved.
