How the investigation into Annie McCarrick’s disappearance took a wrong turn

This time last year, the 1993 disappearance of Annie McCarrick, a young American woman living in Dublin, was upgraded to a murder inquiry.

For three decades it was believed the last definitive image captured of the American student came from the CCTV footage of her local AIB bank in Sandymount, Dublin on the day of her disappearance.

However, the new Garda investigation has now determined that the CCTV image of McCarrick was, in fact, captured 11 days earlier.

It’s not the only aspect of the narrative about McCarrick’s disappearance that has now been thrown into doubt.
