Several Women Have Disappeared in Ireland’s ‘Vanishing Triangle’

Author: Matt Gilligan / Source: did you know?

In the 1990s, eight women mysteriously disappeared in an area of southeast Ireland that is now referred to as Ireland’s “Vanishing Triangle.” The women were all young, and each vanished without a trace, leading many to believe that a serial killer may have been at work in Ireland during the time period.

Today, the mystery of the Vanishing Triangle still haunts the families of the missing women, the police, and the entire nation of Ireland.

The disappearances, which began in March 1993, started with a woman who was not a native of Ireland; Annie McCarrick, a 26-year-old American from New York, vanished into thin air on March 26, 1993. When McCarrick failed to show up for a dinner party, her family and friends knew something was terribly wrong. McCarrick was seen at a pub in Enniskerry, Ireland with an unidentified man that night, and then never again. Her parents flew to Ireland from New York to help search for their daughter, but they returned to the U.S. after six months without any solid leads or information.
