March 26, 1993. Dublin, Ireland. 26-year-old Annie McCarrick, an American-born citizen living in Ireland, leaves her apartment to travel to the Wicca mountains, but never returns.

Even though Annie has allegedly seen that night with an unidentified man at a pub, no trace of her is ever found.

Over the next five years, seven other women would go missing within the same 130 km radius around Dublin.

This leads to speculation that the cases might be connected and the area becomes known as the vanishing triangle.

After that, the trail went cold.

The road was a bit too far away, but the road was not as far away as the vanishing triangle.

The road was a bit too far away, but never returns.

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest episode of The Trail Went Cold.

I'm your host Robin Warder and today we're traveling overseas to Ireland and profiling a number of different missing persons cases in order to explore a very interesting topic.

The vanishing triangle.

That voice you just heard narrating are intro as Dara Mann, the winner of our most recent Trail Went Cold, listen to voice over contest, and she did a tremendous job so thank you very much Dara.

This is a recurring monthly contest which we've been carrying on for the past two years, and if you'd like to enter and haven't already done so, I will be providing instructions at the end of this episode.

Anyways, you can probably tell by her accent Dara hails from Ireland, and this was the story she requested I cover on the podcast when she originally entered the contest.

During the intro, she mentioned the 1993 disappearance of Annie McCarock, which generated a lot of publicity at the time since Annie was an American citizen who had moved to Ireland only a few months before she went missing.

But her case only turned out to be the tip of the iceberg, as over the course of the next five years, seven other young women would vanish without a trace in a specific area outside of Dublin, roughly within the boundaries of the province of Lester.

Once you mapped out the locations of all these disappearances, the area in which they took place resembled a triangle, which is how the vanishing triangle nickname came about.

Anyway, this is caused speculation that a serial killer may have been responsible for murdering some or all of these missing women.

Regardless of whether or not these eight separate cases are connected, they all deserve to be explored on this episode.

So I'm going to start off by discussing Annie McCarock's case before I move on to the disappearances of the other seven women.

Afterward, I'll provide my theories and analysis of each of these cases, as well as discuss potential suspects.

However, before we get started, just a quick reminder that the trail went cold as a weekly podcast, which is currently available for download on several platforms, including iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, Music, and Spotify.
