The receipt from 26/03/93 when Annie McCarrick went to Quinnsworth in Sandymount and bought sugar, flour and plums. She returned to her apartment at St Cathryn’s Court. She vanished that day. The shopping was never unpacked. @gardainfo murder investigation continues.

Matthew is one of more than 800 people long-term missing in this country.
Anniversary: Matthew Carroll was 30 years old when he was last seen on 8 June 1998 at approximately 8pm outside the Steering Wheel Pub at Roxboro Shopping Centre, Limerick. His direction of travel was towards his home at Rose Court, Keyes Park, Limerick #Missing #MissingPerson

Thinking of Annie McCarrick’s mother Nancy, and family and friends, as major search underway in Clondalkin in @gardainfo investigation led by detectives at Irishtown with assistance Cold Case Unit. This photo - Annie in Dublin 17th March 1993 - 6 days before she was taken

Amid welcome focus on scale of missing persons -and how we better use all resources- I think of two people gone in Co. Kerry- Aleida Kaspersma (L) missing near Kenmare since 1978 and Brooke Pickard (R) abducted in Castlecove in 1991- @gardainfo investigations continue

Giedre Raguckaite is one of several dozen people among the 800+ missing in Ireland who are actually feared to have been murdered and their bodies hidden. Giedre last believed to have been at a house in Laytown, County Meath in 2018 #missing @MisPersSupport #coldcase

Two angles to get them all in. The @gardainfo team of detectives which solved the murder of Tina Satchwell. Pictured outside court this lunchtime after Richard Satchwell was today jailed for life. Supt Ann Marie Twomey spoke briefly outside court on behalf of team. #tina


This is cell at Cobh @gardainfo Garda station where Richard Satchwell was held before being charged with murdering his wife Tina. Other image is Richard Satchwell in my car in 2017. Full @RTE_PrimeTime tonight with @Sallyannegodson @RTEOne 9:35pm


It took more than six years to discover Tina Satchwell's body - Prime Time reports on stories from inside the Youghal house rte.ie/news/primetime…
At end of day I think of this tribute to Tina which adorns exterior window cill of house where her body lay hidden for 6 and half years. I photographed it in April shortly before murder trial began. Tina’s loss affects her family and all who knew her in Youghal, Fermoy and beyond
