FBI to train gardaí on missing persons

By Michael O’Farrell, Political Reporter GARDAÍ hunting for Ireland’s missing persons are to receive training by FBI specialists, it emerged last night.

Fianna Fáil deputy John McGuinness yesterday announced he had received confirmation from the Minister for Justice Michael McDowell that FBI agents would train gardaí in the latest available techniques and expertise.

It is hoped the move could result in a breakthrough in some of Ireland’s long-term disappearance cases, including that of Kildare woman Jo Jo Dullard, who has been missing since 1995, and American tourist Annie McCarrick, who went missing in 1993.
