Serial rapist release haunts Annie McCarrick friend

I too, am the mother of two beautiful daughters, and I cannot imagine the horror of what these parents have gone through over the years. And then to know he is now free to commit another atrocious crime would be the final straw. I don't condone vigilant violence, but I'm afraid if I was in her mothers place, I would be brushing up at a shooting range and going hunting. My prayers go out to your family Rebecca,especially Annie's mother.

to all that have beautiful words of hope and kindness for my family, i thank you... my name is rebecca mccarrick and annie was my cousin... my uncle passed recently, and the saddest thing about his passing is that he never knew what happened to his one and only beautiful daugther... his heart was broken... i am a mother of two, and i can't even begin to imagine his and my aunt's pain... we only hope that one day, annie's soul will be at rest... and that the sick bastard that robbed her of her life and beauty will be brought to justice...

This is such a sad story. I can't comprehend the pain that these parents went through with the disappearance of their beloved daughter. i saw a TV program about the disappearance of Annie McCarrick and could feel the pain that the father felt when he talked about his daughter.It was a real tragedy for this family losing their only daughter under such circumstances.

Unfortunately the father died last year, so only the mother survives......

i think it is dangerous to release him perhaps a DEAL WAS MADE FOR INFO THAT HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED TO PUBLIC BUT I THINK IT IS WRONG FOR Any reason to release someone proven guilty in a court of law unless new evidence proving differently comes forward

Rapists are nothing new to Erin - the landed gentry (the occupiers) did as they wished with their servants and as to DNA being able to trace ancestry this is but a shot in the dark.

My God imagine her parents after all these years how they must feel to hear that this man who is now free may have taken their daughters life. How this man can be let out after ten years when he has caused so much suffering. Our justice systems seems to care more for the rights of the prisoners here than it does about people like Annie who has been missing for so long.

My heart goes out to the parents & family of Ms McCarrick. Some years ago I was in Ireland when an Irish friend pointed out an elderly couple in the street. They were the parents of Annie, spending hour after hour, day after frustrating day, weeks turning into months, in Ireland trying to find out what had become of their beloved daughter. My friend told me he had seen them before in downtown Dublin, and had gone over to shake their hands and tell them how sorry he was, as an Irishman, that Annie apparently had fallen victim to some fiend while in Ireland. I pray that the McCarrick family may yet find closure and some measure of peace by being able to bring their daughter's remains home.
