Scannal: Annie McCarrick, Tuesday, 7pm, RTE One

Scannal’s latest instalment recalls the case of a young American woman named Annie McCarrick, who disappeared after she took a bus to Enniskerry on March 26, 1993 and was never seen again. Evidence that she reached Johnny Fox’s pub in Glencullen and attended a music session there, leaving with a man in a wax jacket, may have been a case of mistaken identity. Her disappearance and the fact that no one has ever been charged in her case is as mysterious as any of the cases of several other women who vanished without trace during the decade of the 1990s. EK
