Gardaí searching for human remains in McCarrick case
Gardaí investigating the murder of Annie McCarrick, who went missing in Dublin over 32 years ago, have begun searching for human remains. A cadaver dog has been brought in to search a house in Clondalkin which has been sealed off for the past two days. A 62-year-old man arrested on suspicion of the murder of the 26-year-old American woman is still being questioned at a garda station in Dublin. The invasive search of a house in Clondalkin intensified on its second day today when gardaí brought in a cadaver dog. The specialist dog, which is on loan from the PSNI, has been introduced as part of the search of the house, the front driveway and the 100ft back garden. Gardaí have also been using heavy equipment, a mini digger, a concrete saw and a kango hammer to excavate in the search for evidence in the murder investigation. Gardaí say the current residents are not connected in any way with Ms McCarrick or her disappearance. The 62-year-old man, arrested yesterday morning on suspicion of murder by detectives from the Serious Crime Unit, is still being questioned at a Dublin garda station. The businessman, whose home in Co Meath has also been searched, knew Ms McCarrick in the 1990s and is described by gardaí as an associate who moved in her circle. He must be either charged or released later today. Gardaí say they are keeping an open mind as to whether today's search will yield anything and point out the introduction of a cadaver dog is part of the process in cases like this. The search at the Clondalkin house is expected to continue for a number of days. Originally from New York, Annie McCarrick visited Ireland on a school trip as a teenager. Her parents said that she had fallen in love with the country and its way of life. In the late 1980s, she completed her third-level studies at St Patrick's College in Drumcondra and St Patrick's College in Maynooth before returning to New York to study at Stony Brook University. She moved to Ireland permanently in January 1993 and lived at St Cathryn's Court in Sandymount in Dublin with two other tenants. She worked as a waitress at the Courtyard Restaurant in Donnybrook and Café Java on Leeson Street. On 26 March 1993, Ms McCarrick spoke to both of her flatmates before they left separately to travel home for the weekend. She had invited friends to the apartment for dinner the following day and was making plans for her mother to visit the next week. Ms McCarrick had bought groceries on the morning of 26 March in Quinnsworth on Sandymount Road - confirmed by a receipt found in unpacked shopping bags in her apartment. Gardaí said the receipt showed the date and time of her purchases as 26 March at 11.02am. This is the last confirmed activity of Ms McCarrick.

Woman charged with 1st-degree murder in 2021 death of her husband in Nanaimo, B.C.
A B.C. woman has been charged with first-degree murder four years after the death of her husband, say RCMP. Ryan Mosher, 30, was found dead in his Nanaimo, B.C., home on Aug. 12, 2021. Police had gone to check on him after they'd been alerted by Kelowna RCMP that he may be at risk. Mosher and his wife, Desiree, had recently moved from Kelowna to Nanaimo. Desiree Mosher has been charged with killing him. RCMP said Monday that the B.C. Prosecution Service approved a charge of first-degree murder against Desiree Mosher and members of the Nanaimo RCMP Serious Crime Unit arrested her Friday. She remains in custody until a bail hearing, which is set for June 16. Speaking to CBC News, Nanaimo RCMP Const. Sherri Wade said Desiree Mosher was a person of interest following her husband's death, but police needed to follow all avenues of investigation before they could recommend charges. She said that included searching residences and speaking to friends and family members. "Trying to get a full comprehensive picture of the person that died, any of the parties that might be involved," said Wade. She said neither Desiree nor Ryan Mosher were known to Nanaimo RCMP before the death. The Criminal Code of Canada describes first-degree murder as "planned and deliberate."
