The investigation into the disappearance of a woman in Dublin 30 years ago has been upgraded to a murder inquiry, gardaí have confirmed.

Senior officers also issued a specific appeal for anyone with information, especially in relation to a brown handbag that 26-year-old Annie McCarrick had at the time of her disappearance on March 26, 1993, to come forward.
