Gardaí putting 'significant amount' of evidence to suspect in Annie McCarrick case
Gardaí are putting a 'significant amount' of information and evidence to a man arrested in connection with the murder of American woman Annie McCarrick more than 30 years ago. Officers are also waiting to see if a search of a house where the man once stayed turns up anything of value that they need to question him about. Sources are urging people not to raise expectations of a significant breakthrough in the investigation and to let developments take their course. The suspect is the first man arrested in relation to the disappearance of Ms McCarrick on March 26, 1993, and her subsequent murder. She was last seen in Sandymount, in south-east Dublin city, by her flatmates and was reported missing two days later. A suspect, aged in his 60s, was arrested by gardaí on Thursday morning while, simultaneously, a house in Clondalkin, west Dublin, was cordoned off for a detailed search.

The current owners of the property are under no suspicion of any wrongdoing. Picture: Colin Keegan/Collins The suspect is thought to have stayed at the house at some stage in the past. It is understood the search was conducted on the basis of 'new information' received by gardaí. Sources urged people not to 'raise expectations' that the search would unearth evidence. Gardaí stressed the current occupants of the home have no connection with the case. Detectives will examine statements made by the suspect. It is understood the investigators have a 'significant amount' of material and evidence to put to the man. His detention period is for a maximum of 24 hours, excluding sleep breaks, by which stage he has to be either charged or released from custody. Investigation upgraded to murder probe What was a missing person's investigation for more than 30 years was upgraded to a murder investigation two years ago. Gardaí identified two men of interest since then and have been conducting extensive inquiries, including interviewing both of them. One of the men is thought to be living abroad and believed to be unwell. It is understood he did not provide anything of value to investigators. The other brother was arrested on Thursday. A statement from Garda HQ confirmed that a man in his 60s had been arrested on suspicion of the murder of Ms McCarrick and held under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act. In relation to the search in Clondalkin, it said: 'Elements of that house and garden will be searched and subject of both technical and forensic examinations.' It said the arrest and search operation was led by an investigation team from the DMR South Central Division, Serious Crime Unit, based at Irishtown Garda Station, assisted by the Serious Crime Review Team at the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation. The search was out by the DMR South Central divisional search team supported by the Garda National Technical Bureau.

Annie McCarrick: Gardaí made first arrest in 32-year investigation after receiving new information
The arrest of a man as part of the investigation into the 1993 disappearance and murder of Annie McCarrick follows a period of intense activity in the inquiry in recent years. The search of a house in Dublin is also connected to developments during this time. Gardaí had long nominated a chief suspect in the case and they arrested him on Thursday morning. The Irish Times understands the Garda investigation team decided to make the arrest and carry out the search based on new information it received. Detectives had already spoken to the chief suspect several times in relation to the case. Ms McCarrick disappeared from south Dublin in March, 1993. Her case was upgraded two years ago, from a missing persons inquiry to a murder investigation. The suspect, who was well known to Ms McCarrick, forged a career in business since 1993 and accumulated significant wealth. The arrest and the house search in Clondalkin are significant developments. However, they also represent the latest phase in an investigation that has, for years, been focused on the theory that a friend of the 26-year-old New Yorker killed her after a personal dispute. READ MORE Detectives also spoke to a man close to the suspect in recent months. That interview was carried out abroad. The man is believed to have previously told detectives he was with the chief suspect during the weekend Ms McCarrick disappeared. The suspect taken into custody on Thursday is the first person to be arrested in the 32-year inquiry . He was questioned on suspicion of murdering Ms McCarrick. He is in his 60s and does not usually live in Dublin. He was detained by members of the Dublin south central division's serious crime unit based at Irishtown Garda station. As he was being arrested, the property in Clondalkin was being sealed off for a search. The suspect was closely linked to the house at the time Ms McCarrick disappeared and she is believed to have stayed there at least once. The house was last sold about 15 years ago and gardaí stress that the current owners have no connection to the murder investigation. Situated in a small estate, the home has been extensively renovated and extended by its current owners, with most of that work completed over a decade ago. The arrested man knew Ms McCarrick from her time studying in Ireland. Following two years of living back in her hometown of New York, she returned to live in Ireland in January, 1993. Two months later, she disappeared from her rented apartment at St Catherine's Court, Sandymount, Dublin 4. The narrative around Ms McCarrick's disappearance – based on claimed sightings by eyewitnesses – has always involved her travelling by bus from south Dublin to Enniskerry, Co Wicklow, on the day she went missing: Friday, March 26th, 1993. There were also reported sightings of her in Enniskerry village and at Johnnie Fox's pub in Glencullen, in the foothills of the Dublin Mountains, about 6km from Enniskerry. [ Annie McCarrick's best friend is 'overwhelmed with emotion, crying over my coffee' after developments in case Opens in new window ] However, those details have effectively been put to one side and the investigation is now based on what may have happened in Sandymount. Gardaí believe Ms McCarrick was the victim of foul play at the hands of a man she knew well and that her body was then disposed of to conceal the crime. Ms McCarrick had confided in her US-based friends that a man she had relations with in Dublin struck her in a drunken state. She told friends she believed he was harassing or stalking her. Detectives believe the killing and disposal of her remains had probably taken place before she was reported missing on March 28th, 1993. That was about 48 hours after the last confirmed sighting of her, by her flatmates in Sandymount. Gardaí suspect she was killed, or at least met her murderer, in the area around her flat. The reported sightings of Ms McCarrick in the Enniskerry and Glencullen areas now appear to have achieved nothing. They may have wasted vital time and led the initial investigation astray during the crucial period immediately after a murder, when killers are most likely to slip up.
