Unsolved Irish Mysteries.

Bertie Tyrer

something very off about him

Maybe he’d taken some disco biscuits….

Ecstasy tablets.

I was wondering because I didn’t think E had any effect on hearing. Quaaludes would certainly be more “disco”.

You do hear stories of murders taking place in houses and other people not hearing a sound. The ‘Keddie Murders’ in the States springs to mind but that was children and they may have heard, or seen, something but blocked it out.

^^^^^ Obviously a guess but id say the car entered water some where

Article in the Independent re Annie McCarrick saying she was being hassled by someone known to her, can anyone summarize ? (It's behind paywall).

"Her mother Nancy has revealed to Missing: Beyond the Vanishing Triangle, an RTÉ documentary to be broadcast tomorrow night, that friends told her Annie had been having 'quite a bit of difficulty with someone she knew'."

Someone hit her when they were drunk

A week after she disappeared, some American friends faxed formal statements to the Gardai outlining concerns re a personal situation that had been brewing in the months leading up to March 1993.

Gardai say they didn't get them.....

The Sindo doesn't claim that her friends in the US faxed their concerns directly to the Gardai. It says that five of them wrote their accounts and concerns and faxed them to her parents and relatives who were then in Ireland and that her close friend, one of the five who wrote concerns, "understood that they were for the Gardai." The uncle told the documentary that he gave them to the Gardai. Questions to be asked about when and how he passed them on and to whom within the Gardai and why neither the friends nor relatives queried the Gardai inaction on the concerns and leads given.

Had forgotten about that case, I remember at the time a friend knew him vaguely and naturally was interested to know what happened. Only remember that at the time he thought he had wanted to disappear, but don't think he had any basis for that. Strange that there was never any more information found and that it just dropped off the media radar.

Must admit from reading the media reports my eyebrows were raised at a successful doctor with two practices driving a humble Ford Fiesta...granted he was apparently having financial difficulties but in this day and age those who are experiencing financial difficulties from the professional classes tend to put great effort into 'keeping up appearances', ie still drive a fancy car but just don't update it or get it serviced as often etc....Ireland was a very different place in the eighties, much less keeping up with the Joneses.

Bit of an odd case right enough, especially the lack of media attention since 1995, which tbh suggests to me friends and family know what happened?

True but I think that it's coincidence....if you look at the media reports in each case individually, you don't have to read too far between the lines to see that the guards in most cases suspect a boyfriend or ex-boyfriend but haven't got enough evidence to charge, I think there is one exception where Murphy was known to be working in the area where the woman disappeared.

I vaguely remember a story of a guy going to USA ‘94 and never coming home. Someone who knew him spotted him in some bland US city about 10 years later and that is what had happened. He was gay and chose the tournament as his time to disappear.

Doing some reading about that case and the doctor apparently met a patient of his on the flight they were both on the evening he went missing who he offered a lift home to… the patient declined the offer.

so you’d be wondering if he was offering a lift to said patient, could he have been voluntarily thinking about doing a disappearing act with himself on that particular evening ?
