Brother's information led to arrest in McCarrick case

A suspect in the 1993 disappearance of Annie McCarrick was arrested last week after his brother provided crucial information to the Gardaí. This led to the arrest, which occurred after the brother, living overseas, spoke to detectives. The brother's statement, which weakened the suspect's alibi for the day McCarrick went missing, was a key factor in the arrest. The suspect, a millionaire businessman, was released without charge after 24 hours, and the investigation continues. The Gardaí are currently searching a property in Clondalkin, focusing on the garden area, with cadaver dogs assisting. The case, initially a missing person inquiry, was upgraded to murder in 2023.
