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.
