Unsolved Irish Mysteries.

It's Dunning-Kruger in full effect.

John McCarrick, Annies father, in an article in the Sunday Indo, in sept 1998 said " the movements of two men who knew her were not properly investigated. One had borrowed a car that weekend she disappeared, the other had hired a car. Neither of these cars were forensically examined..."

It is an established fact that there was a sexual predator who roamed Leinster and showed the propensity to abduct, rape and attempt to murder a lone random woman who he did not know. Why would you be critical of someone who highlights that fact? The reality is that the disappearances of the 1990`s are a statistical aberration or alternatively we had a serial killer in our midst.

in each of the sightings, the issue is that nobody actually talked to her with the knowledge of who she was, she also didn’t acknowledge anybody as far as I’m aware. Makes it much less believable imo, and certainly not to a very likely standard, imo of course. The only person who actually may have known her didn’t even see her get off, just assumed.

All very dubious imo.

So now it looks like the suspect was seeing 2 women at the same time....that could get complicated for him alright.

It's interesting the amount of information that's being leaked. You'd imagine that it's deliberate.

Well she wasn`t working that day so that limits the possibility of confusing the day itself with another day. It is clear based on her phone call to Anne O Dwyer that it was her intention to travel to Enniskerry. She was seen by Bernard Sheeran leaving her apartment that afternoon. Dunno if he actually knew her. She was seen by Bruno Borza walking in the direction where she got the 18 bus. He ran the local takeaway so he may have known her. The driver of the 18 bus said she had to run to stop him and get on. Minimally she would have said "thank you" which would have exposed her American accent.

Then Eimear O Grady saw her get on the 44. Eimear knew her but didn`t see her get off the bus so Annie would have got off somewhere between Milltown and Enniskerry. She had been in Johnnie Fox`s a couple of times previously and told her flatmates how much she liked it and wanted to bring them there in the future. They were both away that weekend.

It seems to me that a whole bunch of posters have got themselves all worked up into a lather and ridiculed this line of evidence on no good basis. She may have been with her killer in Johnnie Fox`s. The woman seen there was in the company of a clean shaven brown haired man. I don`t know if that fits the description of the current suspect. She may have met her killer in Enniskerry and not gone to Johnnie Fox`s at all.

The suspect must be under a lot of mental pressure now especially with his name and county out there in press/social media..… drip feeding of more damming information adding to this drama

Imagine if he's innocent.

Today's Irish Mirror

"Exclusive: It can be revealed today that Annie McCarrick – who complained of being stalked even assaulted by the suspect – tried to end the relationship"

Tried just before the disappearance.

In fact he is innocent, until proven guilty, they really must have something pretty concrete to risk a witch hunt, which is what they will get if they keep this up.

I just mean that in the eyes of the law he has been innocent the whole time, until he is proven guilty, which is a pretty high threshold to hit especially after all this time, and with no body. To be leaking this information now at this time, I get that the alibi might now have vanished, and they must been trying to shake out some additional witnesses or something like that. They must really strongly believe they can secure a conviction and find the body to risk ruining someone's life over. Personally I believe she was murdered, and perhaps by the chief suspect, but beyond reasonable doubt, not a guarantee.

Younger born 1963

There's a third alternative, which is if anything more disturbing - that they weren't a statistical aberration. That a blind eye was turned, up to a point, in sections of Irish society to crimes, even murders involving spousal/girlfriend abuse by male partners. (I'm not saying that explains all the cases.)
